Great staff, very talented. I've had my nails done 3 times now & it amazes me how clever the process is. I choose a design online, show the staff member the photo & they copy the design onto my nails, as near as possible. If your nails get damaged, which is unlikely as they become very strong, then just go back & they'll touch them up for free. Doesn't get much better than that. There's free coffee or bottled water available for you for during your appointment. If you like fancy nails then I highly recommend this place. It's possible to walk in without an appointment, but you may have to wait a while if they're busy, so it's probably advisable to make one, which is easy to do online.

Originally went to get my first set of nails off, as I'd damaged them (they weren't put on by this shop, though) but decided to get the same set on. I'm really happy with how they turned out, the sides are all straight and are rounded off so they're not jagged. The blending between the red and the black is great, and looks natural. It's fairly priced, £45 to get my first set off and the second put on and they offer you free drinks also. You can book appointments and see their services online. So happy with my nails - fully recommend!

Absolutely loved my nails! I showed them the inspo pic (second slide) and they nailed it. I was also able to make my own requests and changes. I'll definitely be coming back! P.S. bring cash because they only accept cash or bank transfers.

Went here yesterday for my daughter and we had the best experience that we have ever had from a nail salon. The staff were so lovely always asking if I wanted a free hot drink. My daughter's nails look absolutely incredible and he couldn't have made her any more happy. He was a perfectionist and took so much time for her. Thank you.
