It was my first time at Common Interests, and Libby was my nail tech. I was genuinely blown away. Her attention to detail is exceptional, she perfects every tiny detail and makes sure everything looks flawless. She really takes her time and truly cares about her work. I can't wait to book with her again. Thank you so much Libby!!!

I've been getting my nails done at common interests for over a year now and I refuse to go anywhere else. Since starting I have moved down south but I plan my nail appointments around when I'm visiting home. Shenique is my go to girl for nails, her work alongside the rest of the talented girls is just insane. The vibe, music and atmosphere is always so lovely and I just feel super relaxed at my appointments. I will continue to recommend them to everyone.

Caitlin is by far the best nail tech I've ever been to (I've had 3 prior). She is very attentive to what you want and also what she thinks will look good on you. Her designs and talent never fail to amaze me and seem to get better every appointment?! I would highly recommend her if you want to start your natural nail journey. She is the only person I trust with my nails. All of the other women in the salon are lovely too and it provides a great and relaxing environment whenever you go for an appointment.

I have been having my nails done at Common interests since October 2020 and they have never disappointed. All nail techs are amazing, professional and bring their own unique style. Nique is just brilliant - she did my wedding nails and nails for my honeymoon! When you have your appointment it's just a lovely chat and time to relax!

Amazing service, such a lovely atmosphere and incredibly nice staff 🩷 I had my nails done by Amy and Aimy a couple of times, and by Caitlin for the past year, and I couldn't be happier with their service. Always open to discuss with you different options and to help you decide the best design for your nails. Every time my expectations were exceeded and the design was perfect 🥰 Also, the nails strength is unbelievable, even after bumping them and 4 weeks in, they were still in perfect shape. Couldn't recommend this place more!

I've been getting my nails done at Common Interests over the last year and Leah is the loveliest nail tech! The atmosphere in the salon is so fun and welcoming, and Leah's attention to detail and talent in creating such fun designs leaves me in awe all the time. If you're looking to start your nail journey I'd highly recommend 🥰✨💅🏻

Caitlin has been doing my nails for over a year now, I wouldn't go anywhere else. The quality and finish is exceptional and she has an amazing eye for nail design. So much care and attention goes into every set and I've never left unhappy. The salon is such a lovely environment and all the nail techs are so friendly. Would 100% recommend - so worth the money :)

Since moving to the Jewellery Quarter, I've now become a regular customer at Common Interests and always make sure to book in with Caitlin! Caitlin's work is so fantastic, the best Almond shape I've ever had and when I fancy it great artwork too. She has transformed my nails over the time I've been with her, from being short and stubby to long and sexy! I've also been introduced to the BIAB world which is one I will never step out of, this does mean the appointments are a bit longer but because of Caitlin's friendly and approachable nature it makes the experience feel like a proper treat!

Updating my original review to add that I've been a client at the studio for several years now and I can't believe how good it's been for my nails! I used to have heavily bitten, fragile nails - I've gone from feeling ashamed of them to receiving compliments on them every month. I really feel at home in the studio and I never feel judged or unwelcome - I can be awkward and feel very anxious getting beauty treatments but the vibe is relaxed and welcoming which puts me at ease :) I usually see Caitlin for my appointments and I love her artistry and creativity- I often have no idea what I want when I come in and I'm always so impressed with the level of detail she puts in when I book 'nails out of this world'. Highly recommend and wouldn't go anywhere else! I've also had my lashes done here and can say that Yas was really kind and professional with me. I don't usually get extensions but the classics she did on me were stunning and had great retention after 3 weeks despite the fact I was on holiday spending plenty of time in the sea swimming and wasn't looking after them as well as I would have at home.

Great salon for both nails and lashes. I've been going to Amy for my nails for coming up to 2 years now, never go anywhere else - she (forgive the pun) nails what I want every time and they always last til my next appointment. Got my lashes done when Yas started as I trust the salon, and just wanted to post a pic after seeing another review. These are what my lashes look like 5 weeks after the appointment! Unreal quality, you don't have issues if you look after them and keep them clean - I've not been able to get a new set yet because of our availability not matching up, and you can hardly tell. 100% recommend, and I'll be going back.
