Getting my nails done by Mel is absolutely amazing experience. She's so friendly and welcoming, her nails lasted forever especially with my work which is pretty hand on job and her nails go through it all and still looks amazing. Would definitely recommend her 100% ❤️

Another lovely visit to Mel with my daughter. Mel is such a nice person who really gives the care & attention making having your nails done an absolutely pampering. We were delighted with our gel manicures & also went back to Mel for removal. Hope to keep going there in future, thoroughly recommend ☺️

I really love having my nails done with Mel. She is always welcoming, and makes sure I feel comfortable. I sometimes need inspiration, and Mel always has some suggestions, as well as trying any designs I have in mind! Mel has great knowledge as well, and explains the process throughout, answering any questions I have. She also provides a lovely hand massage afterwards.

Mel has done my nails beautifully! I have already booked my next appointment, she didn't make me feel rushed at all like other places do and her attention to deal is incredible! I've never had a set of gels that are so perfect! Her salon is so lovely and so is she!
