I never get my nails done anywhere else!! My nails always turn out exactly as I wanted and are to a very high standard. They stay on for a long time, the price is very reasonable and worth every penny. Pictured are my most recent set. Vina is amazing, she is super talented and is always so nice and welcoming.

I had the best gel manicure and pedicure ever at Kellys today. My feet feel so soft and exfoliated and they did an amazing job strengthening my finger nails. The gel feels like it will last really well. I will definitely be returning! My nails were still flawless (photo) after a 2 week holiday of diving, hikes and climbing over rocks. Previous gel manicures wouldn't have lasted more than a few days on my nails. Update with the beautiful nails that Vina painted for me with such precision and care! She's very talented

Have been looking for a nail artist that can do the designs that I want for so long, and I've finally found her! Vina is amazing, incredibly meticulous, shows so much attention to detail and is overall just a top class nail artist - my beautiful nails went a full 6 weeks without breaking, getting chipped or any gems falling off. If you're looking for high quality nails and a lovely relaxing atmosphere, look no further!

What can I say about husband and wife duo Kelly and Peter? Fantastic people and amazing service - every single time. I have tried other nail bars in the past but nothing meets the standard that Kelly and Peter have set; I have moved away from the area but still return because I know exactly what I can get from them at an affordable price - please see pics. I am an obsessive hand washer by nature but my 'Moroccan Spice' gel manicure has last two full weeks (it had just grown out), and so I have just left today with a new iridescent/pink chrome colour that they had! Beautiful! They have so many colours to choose from and you can always ask them what they recommend too. They take time with and care of your hands and feet, so I will do my nails here for as long as they are open, and it's clear from their repeat customer base that I am not the only one, as they have left a lasting impression on the community they've been part of for years.

Wow, Kelly really knows how to create beautiful nails! She fitted in my sister for a walk-in at the same time as my appointment and we are both so happy with the results. I had extensions with glitter tips and my sister had a gel mani. We got exactly what we asked for and Kelly and her husband checked we were happy at every step. We had lovely chats too. Come to Kelly's for your next mani or pedi, you won't be disappointed. A great local business. Thanks Kelly!

It was my first time at the salon and I'm very happy with my nails. Peter was delicate and meticulous, thoroughly cleaned my cuticles and was also very kind. Would definitely recommend!

What can only be described as art for nails and excellent prices and attention to detail in a friendly and relaxing environment. No 1 for nails in Forest Hill and highly recommended.

The employee LI she was very nice. The prices are reasonable for the service provided. I highly recommend it. It is preferable to call before coming, but they do not mind accepting customers without an appointment.
