Lovely and high quality. I have tried a number of salons and often found the finish sloppy. At Avril's, my nails always end up looking fantastic, never chip, and are exactly the shape I ask for. There's also a rich selection of colours, not just reds but green, blue, matte finishes, teal, yellow, etc.. And the salon itself is cosy, small, and quiet, so it feels relaxing and not too loud. You have to book in advance, because of how popular she is (understandably so!).

I've been going to Mun for biab for 7 months now, every time she's meticulous! She puts so much care and detail in, they're always perfect.

I went with a friend and we were absolutely in awe with how talented Mun is. She is very kind, friendly and professional. This is will always be my go to nail bar!

Such a GEM 💎 of a place located in the beautiful Clifton arcade! This nail lounge feels more like a spa, a cosy environment where you can fully relax. Mun is very professional and attentive. She even offered me a choice of music to suit my mood. The other upside is this place is open daily except on Tuesday. An absolute plus point in terms of free parking on a Sunday. I highly recommend this place with no hesitation - you will not regret it!

Great service. The place is calm and relaxing and the lady did my nails with such precision and accuracy. Amazing price too. Absolutely worth having to book in advance and pay cash. I will be coming back!

Great little nail salon located inside the arcade! The service was quick without being rushed. My esthetician was helpful and friendly and could see me right away with a walk-in appointment. Cash only!

Best nail technician I have ever used.. I have been coming to Mun for over 6 years now having tried many other nail bars and beauty salons she is in a different class. Not just excellent and attention to detail but a lovely gentle soul..My elderly mother loves having nice nails and Mub has a special acrylic called sns that looks so natural. We were delighted when she opened her own shop in Clifton. We wouldn't go anywhere else. Her pedicures are amazing and wonderful massage chair.

I had acrylic toes done here about two weekends ago while visiting family (I live in the midlands). The lady was very attentive and gave great attention to detail, my toes have never looked better! I was so happy that she was able to fit me in while I was visiting. I will definitely be visiting her salon again whenever I am next down. Thank you so so much! X

The colour selection draws particular attention, with mentions of an unusually wide range including matte finishes, teal, green, yellow, and blue alongside more standard shades.
