Dona Nail
51 Tbel-Abuseridze St
Review by SRAS Student Marina Garfield
When I first came to the salon, I was greeted by Dona, and we made an appointment together. Later, when I could not make it to the appointment, I was able to communicate with her over Instagram, and she was incredibly accommodating and I was not charged extra. The salon had comfortable seats where at least two people could get their nails done at once, and six places to get your hair done.
A friend of mine and I got nail extensions. Mine had a chrome finish, which meant my appointment altogether cost 70 lari (~$26). Compared to US prices for the same services, I thought that Dona Nail was very reasonable. You can also get non-acrylic nails for 30 lari, if you are looking for something even more budget-conscious.
My appointment took 2 hours, and it was clear that Dona took a lot of care in getting things right. She spoke to us in a mix of English and Russian and made sure that everything was friendly and enjoyable.
