Came today for the third time, I will never pick another place. Everytime I've had my nails done I have had a different person and every single one has been so lovely, always offers you a drink and as someone with a bit of social anxiety I've found it so peaceful. Highly recommend Ps. Pic is from my first appointment, stunning!

LACA is the best nail salon in Brighton! The nail art and designs are incredible, and the whole vibe and atmosphere of the studio is super creative and inclusive. The owners are super passionate about what they do and in creating a community, which I haven't experienced at a nail salon before. Even if you don't get your nails done, you still have to try their matcha which is one of the best in Brighton!

The coolest nail salon in Brighton! Went for the first time this weekend and Anya did such a beautiful job with my nails, they're a work of art! 💅 Her attention to detail is incredible !

This has been THE ONLY place I trust with my nails for the past 3 years!! The first time I went I had the saddest excuse of nails and Hung spent hours performing what we now call "nail surgery" so I could still go out feeling pretty! I have never felt so welcome in a shop before.

Update: have cat eye French done. It is so shimmery and elegant. Very beautifully and generally done! I have a crack on my nail, and my fingers tend to be injured during the process. But everything was done perfectly and comfortably. Highly recommend this place! Although I am not from here, I will come back again whenever I am in Brighton. Second time here to have my pedicure done.

Anya, Hung, and Meg are the best! Very good at adapting inspo mood boards to a personalized manicure, and are very quick and precise with nail art even on short nails. Extremely reasonably priced- plus there's complimentary lattes!! My manicures last a month without chipping or lifting. I've tried other salons in Brighton and LACA is my favorite 🤗💅✨

I love this place so much! Recently moved to Brighton and this was the first nail salon I tried- I won't be trying any more I've found my home 🫶 the staff are lovely and so keen to do creative nails- and so good at doing nail art! I'd say very reasonably priced for the level of nail are- I've had much much more expensive before. Loved the drink I had and the general vibe of the place too
