Nail Stories never disappoints! I usually go to the Shoreditch branch but today they only had availability at the Hackney Road location and I'm happy with the results as always! Phil was my nail tech and he was so sweet and took the time to find the right color for my design and did everything so meticulously ! Thank you for the great care and service ♥️

I tried this salon It's very nice cosy and looks clean. The person doing my nails did really great job. was surprised with it. WILL RECOMMEND THIS SALON. because the person did amazing job. i didn't need to walk down road to pick on nail polish or acrylic or have to file at home. to my standard where i can spend up to 100 £ on design nails this is great place. Wil come again. On top so polite .😊

I'm honestly so so so happy that my friend recommended Nail Stories to me because they're the best! Very friendly and professional teams in both Hackney Road and Shoreditch locations. They're amazing with crazy nail art as well!! I always leave the salon with a smile and I can't stop taking photos of my nails haha, they also last for a long time for me (my last manicure lasted for 1.5 months!). Can't recommend this place enough x
