Nails expertly done! Today I tested Van's patience (unintentionally) and he passed with flying colours - whilst I gained a gorgeous set of french manicured nails. Highly recommended - courtesy and 5 stair service awaits anyone who enters! (Yes, even the fussy ones, haha)

Have been coming to Gorgeous Nails for 3 years, ever since I moved to Reading. Van is precise, he listens to what I ask for, every little detail and I am a fussy girl 🤭 He has over 20 years of experience, so you are in good hands. My nails last so long, they don't chip or break. This is a long overdue review, thanks Van for the amazing job you do and for always being friendly 😊

I really like Van's work, I have problematic nails at best, they grow in all different angles etc and he made them look gorge. He was fast but very precise , he obviously knows what he's doing!. I had a gel mani and the shape / length / cuticles were all on point. I'll definitely be a regular from now on. Good chat too 😝

Absolutely love getting my french manicure done by Van. He is always so quick, yet very precise with my nails. They are always so neat and tidy, I always look forward to getting my nails done here. They always last over 3 weeks too! Van always is super friendly and welcoming, would definitely recommend!!

Van was amazing, very sweet and gentle (I have eczema on my hands). He was also honest about what would and wouldn't work and checked in with me after each step. He was quick, professional and I would highly recommend. Instantly booked for the next set ✨

Van is a lovely gentleman and made us smile on a soggy Monday morning. Excellent customer service and brilliant nail tech. He completed my girlfriends nails in 20 minutes and she is so pleased.

First time visit Today.... felt like a little treat and booked in for gel manicures on my natural nails. Not disappointed. A lovely shape and vibrant colour that I wouldn't have previously considerd but was inspired by Van's experience. Will definitely be going back.
