Craft.
Comunnity.
Career.
We're building something rare — a team of technically exceptional artists who love what they do, supported by New Zealand's leading nail salon group.
We don't just do nails.
We set the standard.
The Art of Nails is New Zealand's most recognised nail brand — four premium locations across Auckland, over 30 technicians, and a reputation built on technical excellence and genuine client relationships. We've worked runway at NZFW, built loyal client followings across every salon, and created an environment where skilled technicians thrive.
If you're serious about your craft, we're the best place to grow it. We invest in training, pay competitively, and promote from within. The people at the top of our team started exactly where you are.
Five reasons the
best choose us.
1. Training That Moves You Forward
Structured skill levels, paid training sessions, and real pathways to advancement. Whether you're building your foundation or pushing into advanced techniques, we build the programme around you — not the other way around.
2. Competitive Pay, Honestly
We pay well and we're transparent about it. Our tiered pay structure rewards skill and output. No politics, no ambiguity — the more capable you are, the more you earn. Simple.
3. A Team Worth Showing Up For
Culture isn't a word we use lightly. We've built teams at every location that support each other, hold high standards, and genuinely enjoy their work. You'll notice it on your first day.
4. Career, Not Just a Job
Senior technicians, salon leads, and key team members across our group started as junior technicians. We notice talent and we act on it. Advancement is real, not theoretical.
5. Work That's Worth Doing
Premium clientele, quality product, creative freedom within a high-standard framework. You'll do work you're proud of, in a space that looks and feels the part. Including the odd fashion week runway.
"The standard here pushed me to be better than I thought I could be.
The team made it worth it."
