We are relocating back to Mauritius in August.
My wife will open a small salon for Gel nails and make up and will also travel to your place if needed.
What is the demand for Gel Nails (Nail Art etc) on the Island?

Regards

Johan.

hi johan well  let me tell you that nail art    has not yet been really introduced in mauritius and the demand  is generally low.I can tell you  that  its only  when someone is going out in an event that   she can  go to the salon but if  it s a  hairdresser s  salon then it will  be good.
Bye

Hello altogether,

@dubleen, hopefully my response isn't too late...
If you don't mind, you might have a look at the services provided by Mary Jane K:

Absolute high quality products (medical-based resin) and as much as bio-compatible to your natural nails. And of course, nail art is part of the repertoire... ;)https://plus.google.com/b/1028655595376 … 860/albums

@vikvishal, personally I think that the quality of nail art available is still a bit low but it is improving...

@johanmedic, welcome to the island. I would be glad to get in touch with as soon as your wife would like to start her studio. We are exclusive distributor of LCN products in Mauritius.


Regards, JoKi

Where is your salon located?

Permanent gel nail varnish is still a fairly new concept in Mauritius but they are becoming more widely available. Brands such as Shellac and Gelish are around, however it is in the expertise of application that I have found a problem. Then there is a charge for removal as well which I found really strange as never got charged this in the UK.

After much searching ( and various degrees of nail appearance!)  I would recommend the nail salon at Bagatelle mall.
Good value, fast service and an excellent clean salon overall.
