Beautiful salon, relaxing atmosphere, professional service, a wide selection of colours to choose from and fabulous nail art!

Bridgette


Debbie is super professional yet friendly and I felt I was in expert hands. She made my not so pretty hands look fabulous

Melissa


Very professional. Fantastic consultation and felt very welcoming.

Erica


Extremely clean and professional. Would definitely go again. All nail files used on a client (from new) are cleaned and placed into an envelope with the clients name on it for future use and any other items disposed of.

Karen


I love going to Rambling Rose, Debbie is super awesome.

Kathy


I love getting my fingernails and toenails done by Debbie. She is very professional, has great ideas and is lovely. I’m always getting comments on how great my nails look. Highly recommend her.

Lisa


I absolutely love getting my nails done at Rambling Rose! Debbie is not afraid to try out any of your ideas and make magic happen. Every time I have my nails done I get so many great comments on how beautiful they are. It’s lovely to sit and be pampered and have a great conversation with someone who is genuinely interested in what you have to say, this is something that is lacking in other nail salons that I have been to. If you want beautiful nails and an amazing experience at the same time, please contact Rambling Rose salon.

Lovely experience with Debbie, beautiful little salon and nails.

Jessica


Debbie was amazing, she took the time to explain what she was doing and my nails were beautiful. I have continued to go back to Debbie for my nails and can highly recommend her.

Thank you so much for your beautiful work for our special day on Saturday! It looked amazing! That day was unbelievable and we could not have asked for a more beautiful day with our friends and family. Thank you again and all the best.

I would once again like to thank you so much for your efforts and friendly, professional service on our special day. I sometimes find myself wishing I could look so pretty all the time, you are magical!

I couldn’t recommend Debbie Page-Wood highly enough. I had the pleasure of working with Debbie in December 2012 where she was one of two make-up artists for our first professional musical in Westville, Durban. Debbie was responsible for applying make-up for 4-5 cast members for 2 rehearsals and 6 nights of shows over 2 weekends.

Raise the Roof

Debbie worked as a team with the other artist, however her experience and precise skills shone through. Debbie was punctual and reliable and did whatever it took to get us made up within our strict time frames. She fulfilled our make-up requirements and exceeded our expectations. We could not have asked for a more reliable make-up artist for our first show and really appreciated everything Debbie did for us and can’t recommend her highly enough.

As the manager of Rain Farm Game and Lodge, I have worked with Debbie for our past two Bridal Fairs (2011 and 2012) where she did the bridal make-up for the models in the fashion show and it is with great pleasure that I recommend her services to you.

Rain Farm

Debbie has always been very reliable and punctual, her work is of a high standard and she is a pleasure to work with. With her positive attitude and commitment to excellence you will not be disappointed in her efforts to deliver services of an excellent standard.

Ever wondered what you should look out for when ch Ever wondered what you should look out for when choosing a nail tech or getting your nails done? 

If you can't see their qualifications, ask where they trained. 
If you're ever unsure of anything, ask - your nail tech should be willing to answer your questions. 
If you're not happy with something during your service, tell your nail tech. You're paying for the service, you should be happy with the outcome.
If it hurts, tell them - they may not be aware they're hurting you.
