I've been here several times now to get my nails done and the experience each time has been fantastic. Both Julie and Robyn are very professional and have created some excellent nail art for me - especially when I haven't been too sure about what I have wanted. The salon always has a welcoming feeling and the staff are so friendly. I will be back!

Lovely little salon in Earlsfield. The lady who did my nails took so much time and attention and despite me not having very long nails, made me feel great and did a lovely job, they also made me a lovely coffee. Would recommend. 🩷

I had an appointment with Robyn and she was fab! I asked for her to help me come up with a Goth Christmas look and I couldn't be happier. Jack Skellingtons, snowflakes and (in honour of my trip to Aus) Redback Spiders with santa hats for their red marks. Great experience! Second review notes: as someone who is a nail biter having nail art was a real incentive to not bite! A good and pretty incentive to consider for someone trying to break the habit. Third review: still awesome! Julie worked really hard to give me the pentagram design I asked for and it looks epic!

A very satisfied customer! Always happy with my nails especially my most recent visit with the most beautiful gel colour and shape, friendly relaxing environment and all the ladies are lovely to be around.

I've been to many salons around Europe and this is by far the best. Robyn in particular. She is so friendly, warm and professional, I always felt like I got to sit down and chat with a friend. My manicure was always top notch, the experience was great and gel lasts for over 3 weeks. The salon itself is lovely (reminds me of a cosy coffee shop) and it feels like most professionals working there love what they do and their clientele. Unfortunately for me I had to move out of the area and just yday I had to go to anotner salon where my finger got damaged 😅 and I was like damn I wish I travelled all the way to Earlsfield instead just for my lovely Un Basic experience. They also have a loyalty card and the prices are reasonable for the quality they provide. I miss you so much Un Basic!!! Gonna have to move back in the future 😂❤️

I have been coming to Unbasic since I moved to Earlsfield 3 years ago. I have had all of the technicians work on my nails and always have a good mani or pedi!! Always feel welcome and have a good chat. Just thought I'd say after 3 weeks how immaculate my recent manicure was - no chips (grown out of course) but otherwise perfect! Thanks always ladies!!

Left photo is the day they were done & right photo is FOUR WEEKS later.. they haven't chipped at all! Of course they have grown out but the colour is so similar to my nails that it's hardly noticeable. Robyn is very skilled and really lovely, thank you, I will be back soon I'm sure 🫶🏼

Absolutely LOVE unbasic - I won't go anywhere else to get my nails done! All of the beauticians are great and so welcoming, and all do an amazing job. Gels literally last months and normal polish lasts for ages without chips too. I would highly recommend booking in!
