Oblaka Nail Salon is a neighbourhood favourite in New Westminster, known for precision manicures and a calm, contemporary space. Open for four years, they’ve built a steady following for long-lasting gel work and meticulous nail art, handling everything from simple maintenance to intricate hand-painted designs. If you want nails that last through daily life, they’re the place I’d tell a friend to try.

Their core services include classic manicures and pedicures, cuticle care, gel extensions and dip powder. They use OPI and CND Shellac products for colour that holds, and offer bio-sculpture overlays for clients looking to strengthen natural nails. For those after flair, Oblaka specialises in bespoke nail art, offering floral, geometric and seasonal creations, plus crystal and foil applications. Appointments typically run 30 to 90 minutes depending on service, and they price competitively for the downtown New Westminster area.

What stands out is their approach to each visit. The team of three licensed nail technicians focuses on hygiene with single-use buffers and hospital-grade sanitation for all tools. Technicians take time to assess nail health, suggest treatments like strengthening serums and gentle filing techniques, and customise colour to skin tone and lifestyle. The salon’s interior fits about eight clients comfortably, with soft lighting and comfortable seating that make it easy to relax while your nails are being done.

People choose Oblaka because it feels like a local craft studio rather than a busy chain. They welcome walk-ins when space allows, and regulars appreciate the loyalty discounts and birthday perks. Located near New Westminster SkyTrain and local shops, Oblaka supports nearby businesses by sourcing seasonal designs from community artists. Call to book or ask about availability, 236-777-0818.
