I have recently moved to cambridge and thankfully I found this little nail salon right across from my university so it is super convenient. I have been roughly 3 times, twice for my toes and once for my hands. Everytime I have gotten a epdicure the service has been impeccable. Always asking if the colour is okay before proceeding, make sure I have a drink if needing one and constantly feel welcomed here where I am able to sit and relax (Even with ticklish feet). This time (2/12/25) I got my hands done for the first time, usually I do them mysef however I wanted to treat myself for christmas. The young girl was very welcoming and I let her know that I had never had them done before, she was very patient and understanding! I was a bit nervous having them done for the first time however she did an amazing job! My nails look beautiful, and her art work is amazing. I got lots of compliments from other customers too! She made sure I was well looked after, asking if I would like a drink (free of charge), made sure colours, shapes etc were up to my standards (which they were on point every single time). She made small conversation with me which was incredibly appreciated and overall really kind! I had quite a few ideas for my nails and she was very patient in listening and portraying my ideas onto the nail. She asked permission to take a photo of my nails and airdropped me the photos so thankfully I am able to share them with you! Thank you so much for my beautiful nails (unfortunately I was not able to catch the girls name). i adore them so much!

This place was amazing, I just walked in there and I didn't even wait for 5 minutes. I sat down, having never had my nails done before and he just helped me pick out a colour and the right length so I could get used to it. I got acrylics done with a gel polish, I thought it was going to be expensive and very time consuming but it took less than 30 minutes and was a very reasonable £35. He was so gentle and did such an amazing job of them. I was recommended by my friend to go here and it was the best decision as my nails were done swiftly, professionally and within budget. I would 110% recommend this place it is so impressive, and the nails are very strong so they won't break! 😍😍😍 here are some before and after pics, my nails have since grown through a bit so they aren't as perfect as they were when I had them freshly done!

Mostly OK. But very much depends on which technician you get. If you book online you're guaranteed a service at a certain time, but not necessarily with who you want. I've booked online with technician number one, only to find when I arrive that it's with a junior technician!

About CB1 Cambridge Nails

CB1 Cambridge Nails is a nail salon located in central Cambridge, conveniently situated near the university. It holds a solid customer rating, reflecting a generally strong reputation with a broad and returning customer base. Satisfied customers consistently highlight the welcoming atmosphere and the willingness of staff to guide first-time visitors through choices such as colour, length, and nail type. The salon is noted for its pedicure service in particular, with customers remarking on attentive care and thorough technique. Regulars describe returning for milestone occasions and being pleased with the results. One practical consideration worth noting from reviews is that the quality of experience can vary depending on which technician carries out the appointment, and online bookings do not always guarantee a specific technician, which some customers have found frustrating. Services available include manicures, pedicures, nail extensions, nail art, nail design, and infill appointments, with nail technicians on hand throughout the week. The salon is open Monday to Saturday from 9am to 7pm and is closed on Sundays. Online booking is available, and walk-in customers have reported being seen promptly during less busy periods.
