Myself and many of my friends have been having their nails done here for years. I can see a lot of reviews saying the staff are rude.. I have never experienced this. I think a lot of people are too sensitive and take things the wrong way. English is not their first language, they are direct and to the point.. they do not mess about, they get your nails done beautifully and in a timely manner. I have never had a problem with my nails, they always squeeze me in.. even when I don't have an appointment and I always leave happy. I highly recommend modern touch.

I've lived in Colchester my whole life. I've tried every nail shop and this place is the best by far- I've never come out unhappy with my nails and they last FOREVER I've never had a nail break! Not to mention the competitive prices and gorgeous options for nail art. Thank you!!!

Ombré nails exactly what I asked for and perfect. Lovely lovely staff! Offered drinks etc and my daughter was even given a lolly. Was a walk in and they fit me in and really gave my nails the attention they deserved and wasn't rushed at all. Price was also fair for ombré nails. Thank you so much will defo be back!

This is my wife's most favourite nail salon in Colchester from the time we came here. She is always satisfied with her new set of nails. Highly recommended!

Staff were extremely friendly; I was offered a drink on arrival, wasn't expected to engage in conversations which I'm thankful for as an introvert and even better the nails WERE STUNNING. I was not disappointed, the set came out just like the inspo pic, I was asked if I was satisfied after every step of the process and the environment was just very pretty and calm. I'll definitely be returning to them

Amazing service. Accommodating and friendly. The quality of the nails is impeccable and Tony's attention to detail is first class. I know I'm in safe hands at Morden Touch Nails and never leave disappointed. Highly recommend.
