About Mint Nails & Beauty Spa
Mint Nails & Beauty Spa's Portobello outpost brings nail glamour and spa serenity to the canal-adjacent streets of Dublin's coolest neighbourhood. Perched on Rathmines Road Lower, it's a bright, buzzing spot where the air hums with fresh polish scents and upbeat tunes. As your local guide, I pop in for a quick BIAB manicure before canal jogs; the vibe is fun yet professional, with colourful walls and comfy pedicure thrones overlooking passing Luas trams. Perfect for Portobello's creative crowd seeking beauty on the go.
What to Expect
Mastery in nails: BIAB extensions, gel polishes in trendy shades, and spa pedicures with callus peels. Facials cleanse with LED masks; massages ease shoulders knotted from laptop life at nearby cafes. Waxing, threading, and lash lifts round out the menu. Irish brands mix with global faves for custom glows. Budget to mid pricing keeps it inclusive, with express options under 30 minutes. Clean, hygienic stations and friendly chats make every visit delightful.
Insider Tips
Book the Shellac pedi for canal-side dinners at nearby Lock 49; it withstands pints and pavements. Pair with a facial upgrade using their Vitamin C serum for post-rain radiance. Walk-ins welcome off-peak, but apps speed things up. Insider: ask for Nessa, the nail whiz. Stroll post-treatment to Fallon & Byrne for cheese treats, just a 10-minute hop. This spot dominates Treatwell lists for spa treatments near Portobello, thanks to rave reviews on longevity and smiles.
Whether solo or with mates, Mint elevates your Dublin trip with flawless tips and pamper perks.
