Ballerina Beauty has been a neighbourhood favourite in New Westminster for over 10 years, known for precision manicures and elegant nail art that actually lasts. Walk in and you’ll notice the studio’s bright, airy layout (about 800 square feet) and the glass display of OPI, Essie, and CND Shellac polishes. They specialise in classic gel, sculpted acrylics, and intricate hand-painted designs, so whether you want a durable set for work or a show-stopping design for a wedding, they do the details right.

Their core services are straightforward and reliable. Regular gel manicures start with a full nail health assessment, a gentle soak, cuticle care, shape and two-colour polish application. Builder gel and acrylic extensions are available for clients who need added length or strength. For nail art, senior technician Lina creates floral and geometric designs using fine brushes and Swarovski crystals, while the salon’s removal and repair service uses acetone-free methods to protect natural nails. They also stock vegan, cruelty-free base coats and strengthening treatments for brittle nails.

The team at Ballerina Beauty is small but experienced, with three licensed nail technicians averaging eight years each in the industry. Appointments are booked in 45 to 90 minute slots to avoid rush and give technicians time to prep and finish thoroughly. Cleanliness is visible: single-use liners, hospital-grade sterilizers for metal tools, and clear sanitation stations at each station. Expect friendly conversation if you want it, or quiet professionalism if you prefer to relax during your treatment.

Locals choose Ballerina Beauty because it feels like a reliable salon run by people who know their craft and care about the neighbourhood. They support nearby businesses with referral cards and often host charity manicure days for local shelters. For bookings and questions call 604-553-9822 or visit https://ballerinabeauty.ca/.
