I had my wedding nails done by Sam at Obsessive Nails and I honestly couldn't be happier! From the moment I arrived, she made me feel so welcome and comfortable. Sam is truly a perfectionist ,she took the time to explain every step, making sure every single detail was just right, from the perfect base colour to the stunning foil glitter side sweeps. Her prep work was incredible meticulous cuticle care, gentle sanding, treatments to keep my nails healthy nothing was rushed. This wasn't a quick in-and-out appointment; it was several hours of careful, thoughtful work to get them absolutely perfect. Her salon is beautiful, spotless, and so well equipped I've never seen so many colours and glitters in my life! You can tell Sam genuinely loves what she does and takes immense pride in her craft. Obsessive Nails is the perfect name for her business she truly is obsessed with nails in the best possible way. I left feeling so happy and confident, and my nails looked stunning for my big day. If you want nails done to the highest standard by someone friendly, kind, and passionate, I couldn't recommend Sam more highly.xx

✨5 ⭐️ - Absolute Perfection Every Time!✨ I honestly can't recommend Sam enough! Every visit is such a treat - not only is she incredibly skilled and creative, but she also has the warmest, most welcoming energy that makes the whole experience feel like self-care on every level. I have been seeing Sam for a number of years and each time I always leave feeling like a goddess. My nails have never looked better! She's professional, hygienic, and genuinely cares about the health of your natural nails too. It's rare to find someone who combines talent, heart, and consistency like this - I feel so lucky to know her! If you're looking for someone who will not only do your nails but transform them into tiny works of art while making you feel special at the same time - this is your sign. 💅✨

The name of Sam's business 'does what it says on the tin' - she is extremely knowledgeable not just about the products she uses, but the whole anatomy of nails and how they grow and how to look after them. When I first went to Sam, my nails were in a dreadful state, the condition due partly from age and medication. With IBX treatment and subsequent careful monitoring of products, I now have beautiful natural nails that are a real credit to Sam's craft - nail technician rather than just a manicurist. She does beautiful pedicures too.

Never having had my nails done before, Sam went out of her way to fit me in for my son's wedding! What an experience! Wow! They were just beautiful! I just wish she was local to me! I have no hesitation in recommending her - FABULOUS!

Going to Sam to have my nails done is like going to see one of your girls for a good catch up. She's super welcoming, happy to talk about what she does and why she does it, and does it blooming well! Sam has loads of different options to suit anyone's needs with a wicked colour range and salon to go with it!!

We were in Lymington for a family wedding and were so fortunate to find Sam for our nails. GREAT FIND! She did a wonderful job and her in-home studio was professional, comfortable, and clean. Sam took the time to listen to our needs. She clearly cares about the long-term health of her client's nails and feet, which is reflected in her attention to detail and the quality of her products (I've also never seen so many colors, glitters and foils!). Sam is building out a bigger salon and it sounds like it will be fantastic when it is done. Thanks for the beautiful nails, Sam!

What a find!!! Sam has been looking after my nails for several years .. now my hands and feet always look extremely well cared for and feel so silky and healthy.... can't believe I spent quite so many working years pre-Sam with such variable salon results!!!! ........ Now I have an amazing professional who really understands nails.......So obviously when Sam moved from Salisbury to Lymington, I just had to follow! Her technical knowledge and attention to detail is phenomenal. She has a super range of products to condition and nurture skin and nails, plus a rainbow of delicious colours and finishes. Sam has encouraged me from my safe comfort zone to try new colours. A bright scrupulously clean salon, welcoming tea or coffee on arrival plus background birdsong in the garden, its always a truly pleasurable experience! Thank you Sam!!!

Sam is a revelation! I have never had such lovely nails! I came for the first time to have my nails shaped and tidied up but after such a fabulous experience I now come every month to have them cared for and beautifully painted. I always get lovely comments on my nails and really enjoy spending some time for myself. I absolutely would recommend Sam to anyone.

My first visit this afternoon, I was somewhat anti gel nails and wasn't too sure what to expect due to previous experience elsewhere - my goodness this experience is so different with Sam, I wanted a manicure for my holiday - but it's so much more than a manicure - it's an education on nail health and some - my nails are moisturised and treated as well as beautifully painted - the whole experience was such a relaxing time and what a choice of colour and different manicures. What can I say - look no further - Sam is a professional- good at what she does, you are in good hands!!! 31.7.25 - so I have been seeing Sam now for a while, I would not go anywhere else, but today for the first time I've had a Footlogix pedicure. I've always been kind of ashamed of my toes - but I can honestly say after Sam's meticulous care, I'm now so proud! My toes are pretty, my soles feel as if I have had acupuncture- I am now converted - go treat yourself and your feet because you will never have had anything like it!

I was looking for someone close to help me with the terrible state of my nails. I use them short, but they were damaged by another salon in town. I found Sam, who graciously offered me an appointment with such short notice. She is delightful and knowledgeable, and her salon is beautiful and welcoming. My before and after are an entirely different story! She advised me on how to look after my nails and cuticles, so they could recover. I look forward to my next appointment! Update 10/01/2023 - After my initial appointment with Sam, I already had 2 more appointments. I am still over the moon by the quality of the manicure. My nails look healthier than ever, and the varnish used last more than 3 weeks in a perfect state, considering that I swim and water can be very damaging. In every appointment, I chose a different colour (the range of colours Sam offers is amazing), and I have no complaint whatsoever!
