  The best nail salon I've ever used! I've been getting my nails done for over 15 years and going to Gentle Nails for over a year, they're the best! Friendly and my nails always look great! They don't keep you waiting ages. This evening I was their last appointment and I was a little late, they were so nice and understanding. Wouldn't go elsewhere

  I recently got acrylic nails done at gentle nails studio, and they exceeded my expectations. The technicians were skilled and precise, shaping and designing my nails perfectly. The acrylics look stunning. I highly recommend this studio for anyone wanting flawless nails.

  Literally the best nail and pedi experience I have ever had! I am visiting from the U.S. and was looking to be pampered and relax after leading a 2 day workshop. I was treated like royalty and my nails look absolutely stunning. The nail technician was extremely gentle, kind, and helpful in explaining the type of nail treatment I had and she recommended that I change it so that it would be better for me and less costly. I wish I could go back! Definitely recommend.
