Best manicure I've ever had! My nails were short and all different lengths and my cuticles were a fright but they look perfect now after the shellac manicure. I asked for classic red and she knew exactly which bottle to reach for, I didn't even have to check. Most manicures I get are... Meh at best but this one gets 5 stars. Lovely personable nail tech also. Could've stayed chatting for ages. Highly recommend.

Called to see if I could get a last minute appointment and Olta was more than accommodating. My nails were in quite a state and she not only fixed them but gave me one of the best manicures I've ever had. I don't live in Putney but I would definitely make the trip back here just to have her do my nails again! Highly recommend :)

Olta is the best of the best. She keeps my nails healthy and has the best designs, I usually have gel nails put on, and they always turn out amazing. Minimal damages to my real nails, and Always a flawless finish, she takes her time and she's a perfectionist like no other! I 100% recommend.

This review is long overdue. Olta is truly an artist who loves what she does. Her manicure treatment is a very rare find and treat. She doesn't just treat your nails but your hands as well. It's a thorough and relaxing process. For the price, it's unbelievable. My hands looked so pretty afterwards. I would like to add that I do professional hand modeling. I find that most manicures are so so and I'm usually disappointed. I had a job the next day when I went to see Olta and my hands were not in great condition thanks to everyday life. She made my nail beds and nails look flawless in front of the camera! You could zoom in and see absolute perfection up close. I will definitely return not just for the great manicure but for Olta's overall relaxing and friendly conversation. I felt so peaceful there and I felt stress melt away. Don't settle for basic people. Go here.

First time I have had my nails done with Olta at Ethel Nails. Hands-down, she is the best ever. Not only does she do an amazing, beautiful job, but she's also a delightful and warm person whom I enjoyed meeting very much. Thank you Olta. You made me feel so much better. Warmest regards Eileen

I had the most fabulous experience with Olta after being disappointed by a few nail places in Putney leaving my natural nails damaged. She was so lovely, really knew her stuff about nails and what would be best to repair mine, and went the extra mile and more to make sure my nails were looking fresh and no bits I can pick. I'm so relieved I've found a nail tech I can trust - thank you!

Olta is a lovely lady and an excellent nail technician. She goes above and beyond any mani/pedi that I've ever had 😍 The Shelac lasted for weeks and her nail designs are beautiful. I won't go to anyone else now....

After trying so many places for lash lift treatment, I've finally found my place at Ethel Nails. Olta is super professional friendly and did an amazing job with my lashes. I will be back for sure!!
