Fiona did my nails beautifully! This was my first time coming here and I heard such good things about her salon. I travelled from Bo'ness just to get my nails done by her. She is amazing! Thank you so much Fiona. You have just gained a new customer! 💞

I have been going to this nail salon for three months to try and stop me biting my nails. I now have no tips on my nails and cannot believe how well the acrylic lasts getting them infilled every 3 weeks with no chipping or other issues. The service has always been great, cannot fault Fiona's work. I would highly recommend!

been coming here for nearly a year, i'm sad to say im moving away from the area because it's going to be tough to find another salon this good! prices are good, and the quality is even better with amazing colour options, never had a lifting nail or any other defects, she's even suggested some colours some times and i've always been happy with it. she's also just a lovely person and great to chat with!

I have been coming here for over a year now and I first went with absolutely no nails of my own as you can see if photos and Phuong worked very hard with me to be able to grow my own nails and never once gave up on me she's very careful gentle and hard working when it comes to doing her clients always taking time to get them spot on and exactly how clients want them done i have never had an issue here always been a friendly warm welcoming environment and an absolutely amazing experience if it wasn't for Phuong i certainly wouldn't have my own natural nails now

I don't always leave reviews but after speaking to Fiona earlier today and looking at the negative comments left recently I have to put my point across. Fiona has always been professional and is a fantastic nail technician, her salon is immaculate and you are always met with a smile and warm welcome, there has never been racists or negative comments made by Fiona, she is not only a fantastic nail technician but also a very good friend ♥️

I love this salon. Been coming here for a while and it's always busy and always clean. I'm treated with respect and always get what I want and I've had a few different requests for designs and I always get what I ask for, it's never an issue. Can't recommend this salon highly enough. We have a good blether and a laugh 🤗

So welcoming and makes you feel at ease. My nail art is always flawless and looks good as new till they're ready for an infill! I could not recommend her enough!:)
