Medical-grade manicures, pedicures & extensions — Lambton Quay
Glowe Aesthetics is one of the only Wellington salons offering fully medical-grade manicures and pedicures — meeting clinical hygiene standards on every service. New single-use files per client, hospital-grade sterilisation of metal instruments, copper bowls instead of spa-chair motors (so no bacteria-trapping crevices), no sharp blades, and LED-only gel lights — no UV.
Suitable for diabetics and anyone who needs a safe, hygienic service without compromising on quality or the pampering experience. We also run a specialist Nail Biters Makeover Program for clients with short, damaged or bitten nails.

For men and women with short, damaged, or bitten nails. The program addresses both nail condition and habit, with regular appointments every two to three weeks in the initial phase.
Treatment begins with specialist hard gels applied to create a short but completely natural-looking nail. As the natural nail grows back underneath, clients progress to IBX strengthening with gel polish. The hard gels are strong, flexible, lightweight, and finish with a consistently high-gloss surface.
"Two years ago I had the most horrendous, bitten nails. The team at The Finishing Touch restored my nails and I can't believe how different they are today."
