  My second time going to Kelly Shenton nail salon and what a first class salon this is, you will not be disappointed. From the moment I walked in everyone made me feel so welcome There's a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere and all the girls are very professional and the customer service is excellent. Lauren who did my nails is incredibly talented and her knowledge is outstanding and my nails look amazing to the shape, colour and acrylic design is exceptional. Can't wait for Lauren to do more fantastic designs on my nails in the future. I would highly recommend Kelly Shenton nail salon. Thank you so much to you all Xx

  Wow...what a find! After a long period looking for the right professionals, I know I have found my place here at last. I've had a couple of sets of acrylics and refills applied by Lauren at Kelly Shelton Nails over the last three months. The team are great, very professional, very friendly and ultimately produce fantastic results...new colours and designs always available; they are current and innovative as a norm and, just as importantly, make you feel part of their team as a client. Top marks, highly recommended 🤩

  Kelly is a true master in all things nails! After experiencing her exceptional teaching in her fast track acrylic course, I made the decision to make the 2.5hr journey again for further training in e-file and builder gel techniques. Kelly's patience and expertise are unmatched, making her the ultimate choice for anyone seeking to start their nail journey or enhance their current skill set. Highly recommend her training services!!

  Kelly and the team are the best in Plymouth! The quality of their work is amazing. Acrylic nails would never last more than a couple of weeks until I started using Kelly, now they last 4 weeks with no lifting or breaking! Kelly is a lovely, funny lady and the salon has a lovely atmosphere, all the girls are welcoming and kind, best nail salon I've been to! Would highly recommend.
