  Alison done my wedding nails she understood what I wanted perfectly. I usually struggle to keep nails on as I find them uncomfortable when I go to high street nails salons , the technique she used made my nails felt amazing and so light . She was friendly welcoming and made me feel super comfortable 💖✨

  Thank you Alison for fitting me in to your busy schedule. My toenails were well overdue for attention and that is what you gave them ++ in addition to a lovely fresh colour, so many to choose from and a great chat. A relaxing hour or so in your well equipped home salon. Thanks so much, Sandra visiting from Australia.

  Alison has completely transformed my nails from bitten, weak and ugly, to healthy, strong and pretty!! Her beautiful salon is 1 on 1 which makes it relaxing and calming as there is no hustle and bustle of other people. Alison is so friendly, outgoing, and extremely talented, I would honestly recommend her to everyone and anyone!

  Really lovely! Alison is welcoming and easy to talk to. She did a really great job on my nails- I haven't had them done in a while so they needed a bit of extra help! Would really recommend.

  Alison is brilliant! She's so welcoming and takes such care doing your nails. The products she uses are really great quality. I've been going to her every 3-4 weeks and my gels will last perfectly between appointments with no chips or peeling at the sides, as experienced from other salons. She honestly is the best!

About Painted Pretties

Painted Pretties is a home nail salon based in Cambridge, holding a strong customer rating. Operating as a one-to-one appointment setting, it offers a quieter, more personal experience than a high-street salon environment. Customers consistently highlight the calm, unhurried atmosphere and the care taken during each appointment. Attention to detail is a theme that recurs across reviews, with clients noting that their nails are treated as an individual project rather than a routine task. The salon is noted for its wide selection of colours and use of high-quality products. Several customers mention that gel applications hold well between appointments without chipping or lifting at the edges — something a number had found problematic elsewhere. The one-to-one format is specifically appreciated by those who find busier salon environments uncomfortable. Customers with concerns such as weak or bitten nails also mention the salon as a place where those issues have been addressed thoughtfully. The salon offers nail treatments including gel applications and pedicures, with a broad colour range available. It is open Tuesday to Saturday from 9am to 7pm, Friday until 6pm, and Monday from 9am to 7pm. It is closed on Sundays. As a home salon, booking in advance is advisable.
