I've been coming here for over 4 years and can't recommend this nail salon enough! They always do an amazing job and their prices are very reasonable. They offer so many options, designs, chrome, and more and my nails always looks perfect. The staff are so lovely and welcoming, and I've even convinced my friends to switch to coming here too! Honestly surprised to see any bad reviews

Gina is professional from beginning to end. Has a very soft touch, precise and does not rush the process.

Gina was amazing! Her attention to detail was phenomenal and she took great care in using Biab for my nails as they were very brittle. She also got the nail art right and was efficient. She didn't need the photo the whole time but I kept it up anyway. Also the pedicure was lovely. I highly recommend this place for nail art and care taken.

I came at a very quiet time and I received friendly and quick service! I paid £45 for white french tip acrylics on all of my toes (no pedicure)

I have been a customer for several years now. I have realised that this is the nail parlo3with best value for your money and very efficient staff. I have NEVER been disappointed with the results, no matter how busy they are. They offer Cash only service so please go prepared. The toilet is not the best and adjoined to a neighbouring tailoring shop. They do provide a clean sink and towels to wash your hands and clean drinking water.

I've been going to California nail for 4 years now and I never left the salon once disappointed. They are all really good and what they do. However, I always like Alex to do my nails. He's quite detailed and always perfect my coffin shaped nails. This will be my only nail salon while living in London. Thank you for you're amazing talent

Did a great job on my nails and was good for me as they were able to do the manicure and pedicure at once so it only took about 30 mins in total. It did feel quite rushed and not the most relaxing experience ever. But if you are looking for a good finish and dont want to be out all day. This is a great choice.
