First visit to Emily today for a mini facial and back massage. It was such a lovely relaxing experience. Truly one of the best massages I've had. Followed by a great facial. The room is cosy with a heated bed and relaxing music. I will definitely be returning.

First time I came to Emily today and couldn't recommend someone enough! Absolutely a pleasure to talk to, I felt comfortable from the time I walked in. She's so professional and really delicate since I have sensitive skin- I previously had bad experiences at other places with my nails so I can't wait to come back again 💕 She has amazing people skills and a really good eye for detail and I can tell she's very passionate about her business. Her salon is beautiful! Not to mention her prices are fantastic ♥️ Thanks Emily ☺️ Xx

I had my nails done by Emily and I wasn't sure what I wanted but I told her what I liked and then we decided on colours and she free-styled the design and absolutely NAILED it ;) very attentive and takes pride in her work! I've already had loads of compliments on my nails from other people :) would 100% recommend to anybody and everybody x

Had a Gel manicure with Emily; and as a nail biter I went with damaged short nails. Emily took her time and made me feel very welcome in her beautiful salon. I didn't feel rushed, and the results were amazing. My gel has lasted such a long time and my nails are already stronger and healthier. Highly recommend Emily for all services she provide. Such great value for money too! Will definitely be rebooking!

So happy I found such a gem of a place to get my nails done! Emily is such a lovely and kind person, I felt immediately at ease in her presence. She's also very patient, detail oriented and a perfectionist; I left a very happy customer with a beautiful manicure and pedicure. Highly recommended and will definitely be back! x

Emily is lovely, a refreshing change to 'conveyor belt' salons. My treatment was BIAB (Builder Gel), I opted to have this and a colour painted on top. From start to finish Emily took care and was very easy to talk to. My nails look amazing and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to others.

Had my nails gelled with Emily over 2 weeks ago and the results cannot be faulted as nails have not chipped at all. Emily was precise but gentle which was a nice change compared to other salons that have done my nails previously. My nails now feel so much stronger and I am looking forward to visiting again for my next design - thank you Emily

Had gels done twice (after only having acrylics done and ruining my nails) and an amazing facial off Emily. She has an eye for perfection and deeply cares about her clients. Done both nail designs perfectly at my request😍 Really took her time on the cuticle work and making sure my nails were prepped for my builder journey. Beautiful room had so many compliments on my nails and skin, left feeling soo much more confident ! thankyou Emily

So pleased with my nails - thank you Emily! From the start of the appointment, Emily paid close attention to detail and I could clearly see that she cares passionately about her work. Emily is a perfectionist who really knows her stuff! I will definitely be having my nails gelled by Emily again next time.

Emily provides impressive client service and genuinely cares about her clients I booked in for the Pro 60 facial with Emily and she made me feel at ease, the environment was relaxing and she took a genuine interest in my skincare journey. If you are looking for a treat or someone new to care for your skin, definitely see Emily !
