1. Eman Beauty SPA
Address: 5553 Clyde Street
Contact: (902) 987-1555
Hours: Monday, Wednesday, Sunday, 11 AM – 7 PM | Tuesday, 11 AM – 6:30 PM | Thursday, Friday, 11 AM – 8 PM | Saturday, 11 AM – 7:30 PM
A little sparkle can make an ordinary week feel brighter. Eman Beauty SPA on Clyde Street offers nail-art inspiration ranging from French tips to glitter and gem designs.
The studio’s personalized approach starts with discussing the shape, colour and style you’d like. You can bring a reference photo or a rough idea to get the conversation going.
Owner Sylvia’s background as an art teacher and oil painter helps explain the creative focus. It’s a lovely detail for anyone who enjoys choosing a manicure with some personality.
Beyond nails, the salon offers other beauty treatments for a fuller pampering session. You’ve got options if your brows or skin deserve some attention too.
That said, doors open at 11 AM daily, so early appointments aren’t an option. Tuesday’s 6:30 PM closing means you’ll need to plan an after-work visit carefully.

I will definitely be coming back
I visited Eman Beauty Spa for a refill on a set of gel nails and Visha absolutely outdid herself! She took the time to ask questions about how I preferred the shape and length of my nails and perfected a very complicated design! I will definitely be coming back 🙂

Perfect gel extensions
I got my nails done with Sylvia. My nails can last 1.5 months, which is 50 days, and saved me a lot of money on getting refills frequently, and my time is so tight to come for a refill every 2 or 3 weeks. Her gel extensions are perfect! I like her work and design. The price is reasonable as well. I treasure her hard work and professional taste.

Sometimes your nails deserve a refresh, and the rest of you wants in too. Blume Salon & Spa on Quinpool Road has a varied menu for those fuller self-care days.
You’ll find regular polish and shellac manicures alongside gel/acrylic extensions and Gel-X. That gives you options whether you’re keeping things simple or fancy a little extra length.
Its spa manicure and pedicure combo includes treats such as scrubs, massage and paraffin wax. There’s room to turn routine nail care into a proper pause in your week.
Waxing, facials and hair services round out the menu. If you’re planning several treatments, book them together so there’s time for everything.
One thing to keep in mind: gel extension fills are currently listed for existing customers only. Special designs and charms cost extra, so leave some wiggle room in your budget!

Amazing experience
I had such an amazing experience at Blume Salon! I got a full set of acrylic nails done by Pritika, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
I’ll be honest—I was a bit hesitant coming in because I’ve had a bad experience in the past getting my birthday nails done elsewhere. But Pritika completely changed that for me. She was incredibly patient, detail-oriented, and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted.

Amazing job
I had my appointment with Pritika. She did an amazing job with my nails. She made me so comfortable, and her skill is amazing. My nails looked so beautiful by the end of the appointment, and thank you, Loveleen, for making me tea. I do recommend this shop to everyone. Thank you Pritika.
3. V Nails & Beauty Halifax
Address: 1863 Brunswick St
Contact: 902-694-6978
Hours: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, 9 AM – 7 PM | Sunday, 10 AM – 5 PM
Your nails can keep things understated or have a little fun here. V Nails & Beauty on Brunswick Street offers acrylic sets, overlays and bio gel services to suit either mood.
Solid colours give you a simple finish, while nail art adds personality. There’s room to choose something that feels like you, whether that’s subtle pink or a little sparkle.
The full pedicure includes a foot bath, callus care, cuticle trimming, shaping and colour. You can add a hot stone massage when your feet deserve some extra attention.
Shellac services and pedicures for children under 12 make matching nails a possible family outing. It’s a sweet option for sharing a little pampering time.
On the flip side, hot stones, nail art and extra length cost more. Sunday’s 5 PM closing means evening visits will need to wait for another day.

Highly recommend
I just got ombré nails done by Celina, and I’m seriously in love with them! She did such an amazing job—the color blend is so smooth and perfect. She took her time, and it really shows in the final result. I’ve already gotten so many compliments! Selena’s super sweet, too, and makes you feel comfortable the whole time. I’ll definitely be going back for sure! Highly recommend her if you’re looking to get ombré nails! 🎀❤️

Perfect spot for a manicure
Went for the first time today for a manicure. The service was great, the salon was very clean and spacious, and honestly didn’t have the overpowering smell that so many nail salons have due to the chemicals they use. The nail tech was pleasant and checked in regularly with me to make sure I was happy with the results. I was in and out in about 40 minutes, so a perfect spot for a manicure during my lunch hour!

4. Fancy Nails
Address: 1030 South Park St
Contact: (902) 429-8733
Hours: Monday, 9:30 AM – 6 PM | Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, 10 AM – 6 PM | Thursday, 10 AM – 7 PM
Sometimes a fresh manicure is all the excuse you need for a little time out. Fancy Nails on South Park Street offers classic nail care and custom designs for that small treat.
You can keep your look simple with regular polish or choose nail art with more personality. Gel overlays and extensions give you more options when you fancy a change.
Pedicures range from express treatments to hot stone options for a longer unwind. Manicure-and-pedicure combos make sense when both hands and feet are asking for attention.
Waxing, facials, brows and lashes round out the services. You’ve got a few ways to build a pampering visit around your nail appointment!
The trade-off is time: a standard pedicure takes around an hour. Some nail-care combos run up to two hours, so give your diary a little breathing room.

Definitely recommend
I had my nails done (simple shellac manicure- shaping, tidying up cuticles and then the polish) done by Cindy. She did an incredible job. I went in with my nails in very rough shape, and she made them look so tidy and clean. She was so gentle and very thorough. She made sure to ask if I was happy with them after every step of the process. It was a quick and very pleasant experience, and I will definitely recommend this salon.

Exceptional manicure
The best place in Halifax to get your nails done. Staff are polite and friendly, prices are good, and the quality of the manicure is exceptional. I have never left unhappy with my nails and trust the techs completely! I’ve had shellac manicures last up to 5 weeks without chipping or peeling.

5. Su Nails & Spa
Address: 115, 1326 Lower Water Street
Contact: 902-406-0211
Hours: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, 10:15 AM – 6:30 PM | Sunday, noon – 5 PM (strictly by appointment)
If your manicure mood calls for extra length, Su Nails & Spa has gel options worth exploring. This Lower Water Street salon offers hard gel extensions with tips and soft builder gel overlays.
You’ll find shellac manicures too, so a fresh look doesn’t have to mean extensions. French finishes and nail art give you room to add a little personality.
For tired feet, the Volcano spa pedicure includes callus care, a hot oil sugar scrub and shellac polish. It’s a tempting excuse to give your toes some attention before their next waterfront stroll.
Regular pedicures and manicure-and-pedicure combos offer simpler ways to plan your pampering. Choose the treatment that fits your day and the finish you fancy.
However, appointments are required, and acrylic powder extensions aren’t available. Custom nail art needs an Instagram message before booking, so leave time to discuss your design.

Today was my first time visiting Su Nails. I had the pleasure of meeting and laughing with Su and her daughter while enjoying a shellac manicure and pedicure. Family run, I felt like I had been a client for years. The shellac application was meticulous and the cuticle work was above par. I would highly recommend Su nails!
