A really lovely experience! Clean and relaxing environment. Friendly staff and accommodating. I chose to have Biab nails with white tips. The lady was very gentle and made me feel comfortable. I would definitely return!

July 2024Was recommended to me from a friend & First time coming here and will definitely be coming back! Loved my nails and the service!
January 2024Lovely ladies working here. Manicure & pedicure were both great. Enjoyed the hand massage & the warm towels too
November 2023Have been coming here for 2 years now and I will not go anywhere else! The quality of nails is unmatched compared to every other nail shop I've experienced. They always do an amazing job, never say no to a design, and take care of every customer as soon as they walk through the door. The free hand massage and hot towel is always a lovely finishing touch, also something I've never seen at any other nail salon. Love the wonderful ladies here and cannot recommend it enough, 5* experience every time 😊
May 2022Love this place, they really do the care of you. When you get in they ask if you'd like a drink and go through what kind of nail design you are after... I went quite late even then I wasn't rushed out the door, she took her time with me and even gave me a nice hand massage at the end. The products are quality and don't break or chip after a few days of use. Highly recommended as I've gone to my fair share of nail shops. 🥰
September 2021I've only been twice so far and it's become my favourite nail shop! Both ladies do a great job and I'm really fussy when it comes to nails. First time I had ombré acrylics done and it looked amazing even after 3 weeks I was getting compliments. Second time I had the acrylics removed and went for gel over my natural nails and it looked perfect, no chips and still looks amazing after two weeks!
November 2020Honestly is the best nail salon, with talented and lovely ladies/staff and their strong attention to detail! Nails are amazing every time thanks to Kim and her team at 1st Nails spa & Beauty. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you so much!
