    I wish I knew the name of the man who did my nails the last 2 times but he is excellent. A little bit of a wait which is to be expected on a Friday afternoon, but he takes his time and is very precise in getting the exact shaping and finish right. I usually can't have my nails done because of my job, but in the short times I can have them I will be back here every time

    June 2025 Really friendly and professional. Highly recommend. Over the moon with my nails for my birthday 🎂 - The blue nails lasted 7 weeks before they were too long and needed sorting, they looked good right until the end, no chips etc. Aug 2025 Update to show New froggy nails, love them. I value the service I receive here that I return time after time. Amazing service as always x

    Helen gave me the most beautiful and detailed nails today, she did exactly what I asked and took so much time to put in details, I've never had nails as beautiful!

    Been coming to American Nails for a couple of years now, and I've not had one issue. Always left with nails toes that exceed expectations!! Great customer service. Highly recommend. My only criticism would be the shop is cold 🥶 heating would be welcomed
