I opted for the Essential Manicure, which covers everything a US mani normally comes with - massage, cuticle care, file, polish and shine. I couldn't quite find the shade I wanted and kept saying, "A slightly redder, lighter oxblood" so Lien pulled out a few shades and tested a few on my nails. She also suggested making our own shade by doing a red base with a darker top... And she nailed it! (Heh) I would have never thought of it and it sounds silly to get so excited but I've just never had anyone nail this color before! (Yay all the puns!) I love my nails and will definitely come back to see Lien again before I leave. :)

I am not a regular as far as getting nails done or manicure goes but I thought they were ok. They did a good job with filing nails, removing dead skin etc etc but the final paint job was just ok.

Straight into the nail/pedi parlour area this is also where the reception desk... I was a walk in, so with no appointment I was greeted by friendly assistant, chancing my arm for shellac nails at 5pm on a Saturday, this was not a problem she promptly seated me and got it underway. At great price of €25 they have a huge range of colours! They offer everything from hands, feet and body treatments plus their waxing is priced really well so will be popping back and availing of this. Only 2 doors up from me, this could be my regular go to place... Also love they do make up application so for special occasions this could work great for me :-) Whilst my nails were being done, there was light hearted chat going on amongst us; there was another lady having her nails done and the 2 workers, one being the owner and she was super friendly, within a few weeks of opening they've really done well in the village, considering local competition these ladies have a great reputation so people have warmed to them and got booking in with them. My nails are looking great... They lasted for 3 weeks so great job and when I went back to have the shellac redone, the experience was again excellent :-)

Perfection. Recognizing that yelp is not the review tool of choice in Ireland, I'm writing this…read morespecifically with expats in mind. I moved to Dublin from San Francisco 6 months ago and have had a heck of a time finding a decent mani/pedi...until now. Boom, Amia. Not only do they make my sausage fingers look beautiful but they also make me feel welcome and warm and as though I'm an old friend walking through the door when I come in. Getting my nails done used to be a chore; I now look forward to it. Aaaand that's just the tip of the iceberg. Dive into their spa treatments and there is no way you'll be disappointed. In fact, I'll bet you my own money that you'll find a new level of bliss with their services. Specifically, I treated myself to the body exfoliation scrub and the hot stone massage treatment. I'm not gonna lie, I've had some pleasurable experiences in my life but they're all almost a distant second to this spa treatment. Head's up, it's not the mani/pedi price and experience you'd be used to coming from San Francisco. It's not a quickie in and out but schedule yourself some time for it. It's worth it. Friendly, attentive, exceptional salon services. Do it.

The whole experience lasted about 45 minutes and the price tag is only 20 Euro. Located on the second floor inside Brown Thomas, this spot can be pretty busy.

We headed into town and had some trouble with parking (silly us) but legged it up to the third(?) floor of BTs to get mam's nails primped and polished. When we arrived we had to wait a few minutes until one of the girls was available and when my mother said she was here for her appointment she was told, through pursed lips, that she was five minutes late. She sat down and got going, while we headed off to get some lunch. After 20 ish minutes we got the call that she was finished and told here where to meet us. When she arrived we discovered that the lady had used a clear coat (french manicure was what we'd looked for) and had been tense and curt throughout. We were pretty disappointed that my mother hadn't received the pampering we expected. That said, her nails did look great.

I've been to many different salons around Dublin, including Brown Sugar, Toni & Guy, Petermark…read moreetc.. and I like Sugar Cubed best. I was a regular Toni & Guy client until these guys opened and deciding to try them out since they looked and sounded very similar to Brown Sugar. I must say I was impressed! The staff are so friendly, and the stylists give you a proper consultation regarding the cut and colour you want, discussing what suits, what they can do etc. which is something rarely or most of the time not even given at most salons, especially large chains. Every time I go here, I'm always greeted very politely and my hair always comes out even better than I expected. The wash basins are great too with massage chairs! The salon isn't all crowded and rushed, and getting an appointment isn't too difficult which is another thing I like about it. I would describe it as Brown Sugar service for the young at affordable prices. Another handy feature is that you can request a booking online and choose who you want as a stylist, which I make use of quite often. Overall, I'm most satisfied with their excellent service and the consultations. The stylist I always request is Tiago, he does a great job with my hair every time!

I was very pleased with the attention to detail and cleanliness so I eventually came back. Soon after I noticed their €15 shellac nails promotion (seems to be permanent now, €25 if you need to remove shellac you had done somewhere else), and I'm glad I tried them! Some of the staff can be more chatty than others, but they know what they're doing and they get you everything you want - unless that's a brazilian wax, as they don't go further than bikini lines here. Downstairs they have the hairdresser and upstairs they offer their other beauty services. I keep returning for their shellac manicure, one of the girls especially is absolutely brilliant and does a perfect job. And at that price, it feels like a bargain every time. Overall, a really good and competent neighbourhood beauty parlour :)

Also, they are moving to a new location on May 7, 2019 so be sure to confirm the address.
