    Best nails in SE London! I love going to Kel I'm always so happy with my nails and they never chip even 4 weeks later. Great Biab, smooth and even but quick application.

    Perfect. I visited Nails by Kel for the first time on Sunday. Extremely happy. Kel was very welcoming, we had some great chats. Kel really took her time, great precision and attention to detail. I absolutely love my nails. Never walked out of a nail salon feeling so pleased, the shape is flawless. Cannot recommend enough, and so reasonably priced for the quality of work - incredible selection of colours and designs too. Kel is so organised, you can make appointments too that are kept to, highly recommended. See you soon Kel 😊

    I've been getting my nails done with Kel since May 2024 and she's absolutely fantastic. She's super speedy and has done some gorgeous nails for me, plus her prices are unbeatable. I get BIAB and my nails have never been this long or this nice in my life. IMPORTANT: She is CASH ONLY but there is a cash point next door.

    Kel is incredible, she always does an amazing job! She's efficient and precise, and I'm always so pleased with my nails. Her BIAB is excellent, really evenly applied.

    Thank you for the most perfect wedding nails. I hadn't ever had extensions before so was a little nervous but they were so beautiful.

    Happy hands and a happy mind! I'm always pleased with the results when I come to Kel for nails. Kel is so lovely and skillful! The price is so reasonable as well. Recommended to book an appointment in advance, as Kel's service is in so much demand in the area. Thanks for brightening my day!

    Kel is the best manicurist I've been to! She is amazing at doing very natural nails with a great shape. She is also really precise at painting nails. Very reasonable price too. I'd strongly recommend!

    I love my nails! I got a manicure and pedicure. The massage chair while I was having my pedicure done was lovely and relaxing. Kel was so attentive with my cuticles and didn't rush. Will definitely be coming back!

    I had been recommended Nails By Kel by two friends and I'm so glad I went. Kel is super attentive about shape and style - doesn't do a half arsed job because she cares (you can really tell). I went for the cat eye look - something I wouldn't usually go for and the results are gorgeous!! Thank you Kel I'll be booking in with you again (and again!) ✨💅🏻

    Got my nails done here with my sister around a week ago and just went back to take my mum to get a pedicure today! Everyone there is so friendly and the atmosphere in there is so great! We were all so happy with our nails! Will definitely be returning soon!
