Mink

mink you really disappointed me today i went in for my confirmation with my mum and her person had called in sick i think you would have to be very stupid to not realise it was a special day thats the second time in a row that my mum has gone in and gotten no nails done mink you used to be so much nice also no vegan options for chocolate and my water was hot HOT!!!!!! you really disappointed me today

Mink you never disappoint and you ARE the best nail salon in Ireland!!!
Top quality, long lasting artistic gloss and top class mani and pedi!!!
My branch is the Ballsbridge one, even though I recently moved to Dundrum, there is no way I am not going to Mink to get my nails done. That’s just what it is. Can’t wait for Mink to open a place near Dundrum :)

Mink you’ve done it again. Such a luxurious experience and money well spent. Every time I come out I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and my nail barmaid lasts for weeks (3 when I get artistic nails).
Such a treat to come here and love the warm welcome I get!

Just a quick update to let you know why Mink really deserves a five star rating !
Today I was not totally in my best mood so I called MINK. I called and I asked for an appointment today at 16h. Meaning 2 hours from then. Usually I would be told that the salon is overbooked until 2021 but today I wasn’t. All the positive forces of the universe gathered to free this time schedule for me. Bless you Universe !
When I arrived, I was taken care of superbly by Susan. She started with my hands with a mini manicure. I had brought with me the latest Dior nail varnish called «Tuxedo» and I can assure you the result was Wonderful ! I am always very happy with the girls service, but that time was different. Maybe was I expecting more attention than usually. Anyway, she did an amazing job and boosted my mood to the top !
Then came the mini pedicure. As I had accumulated points on my loyalty card, I had a free extra treatment. How Awesome? Very much so. The result was perfect.
To wrap it up, I would say that I am never disappointed by MINK. I came all the way from France to get my nails done and seriously, I wouldn’t have missed that for all the manicures in the world XD
PS: P.E.R.F.E.C.T, Perfect !

I know this place is a little pricey and that’s probably because it’s in fancy ballsbridge but honestly it’s worth the money. First off the salon itself is very nice. The décor is nice, bright and clean, it’s tranquil, the staff is friendly and professional, and that’s everything you experience before you even get your treatment.
I got a mini pedi which was by no means ‘mini.’ It lasted 45 minutes and the girl did a great job taking her time and make sure it was done right. She was also very nice and offered to get me a glass of water before we started. The chairs were also big and comfy and there was a very big selection of colors and magazines to choose from. If you’re looking for a nice pedicure I would recommend saving your money and going with the mini instead of the next one up because from what I can tell the only difference is a sea salt scrub. My pedicure lasted for weeks after too!
I will definitely be going back here! But if you want to go make sure you make call for an appointment at least a few days in advance or else you probably won’t be able to get in.

Mink usually is quite brilliant but the few times they don’t live up to the standard they have set for themselves you leave quite disappointed. Mink is a luxurious beauty parlor where you can get great mani– and pedicures. I usually don’t like people seeing my feet, because I wear Rugby-​boots quite often, but Mink manages to transform them into proper girl’s feet. Their manicures last pretty long, and I usually put them to the test– again with the Rugby. If you have a spare 15 Euro and feel a bit stressed, you should also try the hand and arm massage they offer. A gift voucher from Mink is a great present for any really girly friends you might have and can even change the mind of your less girly friends.

Despite the chilly corridor Mink’s front door opens onto, once inside it’s all warmth and luxury.
The perky, chatty girls at the front desk will confirm your appointment (a must here), check your coat and rush off to prepare a tea or coffee to help you settle in. Your manicurist then quietly leads you to a comfy seat at one of the manicure stations –if you’re lucky you’ll get a seat in the deep set chairs with your feet in a bubbling tub of suds for a carefully done pedicure.
The marine pedicure paired with a mini manicure and 15 minute arm rub is the stuff of legends –if a shade over the expensive side.
In fact, outside of the mini mani (€ 25) or pedi (€ 30), treatments can cost upwards of € 100, though many are between € 40 and € 60.
Call ahead and book a treatment for oneself as the ultimate luxury, of course as a gift it gets mucho brownie points.

Vouchers are the best. Without them I’d never spend money on things like a manicure or pedicure (darling). So thanks to a lovely voucher from a friend, I was able to treat myself to a visit to Mink hand and foot spa in Ballsbridge.
I had a voucher for a fancy schmancy manicure which involved rose petals and mint oil so I (very sensibly) asked if I could swap the special manicure for a normal manicure and normal pedicure — no problem. It was so nice! It’s such a treat, and at the end I had pretty hands and feet. A really nice girl called Katie did my hands and did a super job. The whole experience was really luxurious and completely indulgent. And that was only the basic treatments, so I’d say the fancy ones are very special.
I did see a bride and bridesmaid (I’m guessing) having their nails done and being served champagne and strawberries dipped in chocolate — very nice (although hard to eat with no hands).
Lovely salon experience and very nice way to spend an hour or two. They also have a salon in Donnybrook, they do men’s nails too (you know you want to) and just what every princess needs… manicures for kids.
