  Sophie always does a fantastic job. She does the best nail art, and she is an expert on nail care - ensuring that your nails are healthy and undamaged. She helped me get my nails back to health after another nail salon wrecked my nails. She is always up for fun/unique art requests as well!

  Cannot recommend Sophie enough! Her attention to detail and care that she takes with every single nail set is amazing! I have been consistently getting my nails done by Sophie for over 2 years and I am obsessed with her work every time I leave! Xx

  I cannot recommend Sophie enough. She is unbelievably talented and gives me the most beautiful nails. Her nailcare advice has given me much stronger longer nails too. I wouldn't go anywhere else. The salon is clean and comfortable and Sophie always makes me feel so welcome.

  Sophie is highly skilled and always delivers amazing service. I have been going to her for 5+ years and always leave in absolute awe of my claws! Sophie is very welcoming, professional and inclusive and maintains a clean and well-stocked nail studio. She is always getting new colours and materials in and she is always full of great suggestions. I love looking at her Instagram page (@ifclawscouldkill) for inspiration too! Sophie is extremely talented and works to incredibly high standards and I would wholeheartedly recommend her for any of your nail needs!!!

  Sophie is a brilliant nail artist. She has clearly been very well trained. I have had plain designs right through to very complicated and even left it up to Sophie to design my nails. The results are fantastic and I always receive many compliments. Sophie's salon is spotlessly clean and hygienic and she provides great advice so your nails stay in tip top condition. She is also lovely to talk to. Now that I've found Sophie I would never go anywhere else.

  Sophie is an incredible nail artist and person. No design I bring her is too complex and I always love my time with her. Can't recommend more.

  Sophie is the absolute BEST at what she does. She's incredibly knowledgeable, creative and talented. She simply saved my nails 💅🏻. I always, without fail, love my (now long! natural! thanks to her!) nails and our chats too. She's a lovely human, funny, understanding, a girl's girl! And she makes it easy to stay a loyal client. Doesn't matter if my journey to the salon is longer and tricky since I moved, I will gladly change 3 different buses and choose If Claws Could Kill because I trust Sophie to make my hands look fabulous.

  Absolutely Amazing! Sophie is the best nail technician I have ever come across. After years of neglect and mediocre manicures my nails were in pretty bad shape, but after going to Sophie for the last 6 months my nails are now stronger and healthier than ever. I always look forward to my appointments with Sophie and will never consider going anywhere else.

  I have been visiting Sophie for a few years now. She is very talented and meticulous. She gives great advice on how to look after your nails. Her artwork is beyond compare. I wouldn't ever go anywhere else.
