Not a Chain compared 125 nail salons in South Australia, with 11,626 Google reviews between them. Of these, 101 meet this list's method. The median rating is 4.6 from a median of 49 reviews.
Of the nail salons compared, the most reviewed is House of Polish Nail & Beauty, with 668 Google reviews at 3.7.
How this list is ranked
Businesses are ranked as in the fairly rated method, but only those whose name and website each appear in no more than two places in Australia are listed, so chains and franchises are left out. Each needs at least five Google reviews.
A business that shares its name with unrelated businesses elsewhere can be left out by mistake, and being part of a chain says nothing about quality.
