    Ama the salon is one of my favourite salons. A chic yet homely environment and not sterile or rushed like other salons I've been too. I live nowhere near Brixton or South London and I will always make the journey, sometimes it's two hours plus but I've never left this salon unhappy. From the hygiene standards to the customer service, everything is of a high standard. I'm complimented constantly on my nails and it's always Ama. Whether I'm getting BIAB or gel I always receive phenomenal service. My partner and I attended together recently and he loved getting a mani + pedi.

    2nd visit here and I'm obsessed. The salon is the most relaxing space and I love my gorgeous nails. All the staff are lovely, but special thanks to La'seye on this visit for steering my away from a colour that wouldn't suit me and towards this gorgeous shade.

    I had an amazing experience with Chiara! She did an amazing job with my pedicure, I feel I have new feet! She paid attention to details and is very polite, professional and friendly. I also like the hygiene standars in this salon. Very important to me. I will come back for sure.

    I've been going to Ama the Salon for several years now and always have a great experience. The staff are friendly, helpful, hygienic (very important) and knowledgeable - always offering the best tips on how to look after my nails and feet (my feet always feel renewed after a pedicure). Even though I regularly get gels my nails are in great condition, part of that I'm sure is due to the care they take when removing my gels as they do not damage the nail bed (no mechanical nail files here!). Such a great salon and well worth the visit!

    I've been going to Ama for around 4 years now and since then, I've never let anyone else touch my nails. I have a lot of trust in the salon and I've never been let down. They are professional, experienced, clean and efficient. There is ALWAYS a good vibe every time I walk in. Whatever you imagine a nail salon to be, this is it. Customers talk to each other especially when someone has a colour or a design that is eye catching. I occasionally see Ama in there herself getting her nails done as well. It's a gorgeous place to be for those who only want to care for their natural nails. Go for the experience!

    I had the most amazing experience at Ama Salon! I booked in with Mai for my first ever gel pedicure, and I can honestly say it was the best I've ever pedicure I've had. Mai was so thoughtful and knowledgeable - she took the time to give me clear advice on how to maintain my nails in a healthy way, and checked in throughout the appointment to make sure I was happy with every detail. All the girls at the salon were so sweet and welcoming too. I left feeling so impressed and really well looked after. Highly recommend!
