    Have been going to JR for a couple of years now (specifically seeing Nina!) and am always so happy with the results. I've had acrylics, builder gel, gel extensions - basically everything and they always last well. Best of all is the vibe in the shop - it's so welcoming and one of my favourite places 🖤

    I have been using J.R Nails & Co for 5+ years and that have always done an amazing job with every set of acrylics I've gotten ( and removal). The staff are super helpful and friendly and make me feel comfortable every time I go. I highly recommend everyone there they are amazing !!!

    I've been going to J.R Nails for nearly 3 years, and I honestly couldn't recommend them enough! Every appointment they have always been so welcoming and friendly it becomes a day I really look forward to every month. The talent my go-to nail tech Nina has is truly amazing and the times I've used the other fabulous nail techs have always been 5 star services. If you want guaranteed great looking, best quality nails, J.R Nails is the place.

    I have been coming to this Salon to see Nina for the past 3 years. I have never had a single nail break or fall off! All the girls are super lovely and welcoming. Would never go anywhere else! I've had both acrylics and hard gel extensions and they both have the exact same quality. Best nails in Colchester.

    I absolutely love getting my nails done by Nina! She always takes such great care of my nails and makes sure they're healthy as well as beautiful. Her attention to detail is incredible, and I can honestly say she does the best nails I've ever had. Every appointment feels special, and I always look forward to seeing her. Nina is not only talented but also so caring and professional-I couldn't recommend her enough!

    Such a great nail salon, the girls make you feel as ease and comfy for the duration of your appointment. Jasmine done my nails and I'm really happy with how amazing they are. She took great care and precision when doing my nails which is something I really appreciate as I've had a few bad experiences at other nail salons. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to go here!
