Have been having my nails done for almost a year now at this lovely nail salon in Cardiff. Excellent service, so friendly and unhurried also very private and free parking right outside. I call my visits therapy sessions and look forward to them so much. My own nails have gone from being a neglected mess to beautiful long, strong nails through excellent manicure and prep and great after care advice. I've had extensions,.builder gel, gel manicured usually with some amazing nail art. I always come away feeling refreshed and pampered withu little works of art to look at for weeks. Highly recommend and the pedicures are to die for too.

Best nail salon in Cardiff!! I met Gira a few months back for gel x extensions because I wanted to grow my natural nails. After having some terrible experiences at other nail places Gira was gentle with me and I had such a relaxing experience. Purely nails is now my go to nail salon. I've now moved onto biab as my real nails are now my desired length and they are the healthiest I've ever seen them! Not to mention I've NEVER experienced any lifting or chipping due to her amazing prep work and aftercare advice! Couldn't recommend this salon enough.🩷

First visit and I will definitely be back! I thought my nails were a mess, G kindly said they were in good nick but needed a bit of TLC. I've came from there amazed and loving my nails again! Had tips and G used builder gel, they are perfect. Can't wait to show them off! Thanks again Paid another visit and had cats eyes this time. G is wonderful, has plenty of time for you and explains everything. Definitely recommend Purely Nails and will definitely only go to Purely Nails. A True Professional

Have had several lovely BIAB manicures at this salon in Cardiff. Gira is very chatty and friendly and open to talk about anything/ have relaxing fish on the tv or whatever series you're watching at the time. Open to trying any designs, and even putting up with my inability to make decisions and guiding me. Look forward to it every time x

I met Gira for the first time when I got my nails done for my sister's wedding, and she was so lovely and welcoming - it honestly felt like I'd known her forever. Her work is so neat and perfect, and I love that she offers a halal option too!! My nails looked gorgeous and everyone was asking who did them! They also lasted ages. I'm really looking forward to being a regular client.

The best nail salon in Cardiff!💗 I'm so glad I tried out the halal gel nails. Amazing intimate location with parking. Gira was so friendly and explained the entire process, the product and how it works. It feels super lightweight and isn't invasive at all. Feels much nicer than halal nail polish. I was sceptical at first, but it looks and feels so natural, and when I prayed today, I didn't feel conscious at all. I have really short nails and they still came out gorgeous. Gira took so much care before applying gel and after - I even got a hand massage! Since I have been getting halal gel manicures and used cuticle oil my nails have grown and are healthier. Will definitely be coming back and it's super affordable :)

everyone needs a treatment from Gira! firstly, she is just the loveliest lady! so professional but also felt like I was seeing a friend. the salon was so lovely and cosy and homely and I loved the fact it was 1-1 so you could really relax. I had a luxury pedicure with gel polish and it was exactly that, pure luxury! my feet have never felt so good! there were so many little touches that just made it such a lovely experience e.g. offered drinks and the massage chair. it was such a lovely experience and I'm just sad I can't afford to see to Gira every week 🤣 xx

Gira was absolutely lovely from start to finish. She was very welcoming and accommodating which made the experience even better. I got halal gel nails and it looks so nice and stays on so well; to even have the option is very inclusive. She offered additional services throughout which I really appreciated. She also did the nails exactly the way I wanted them and accommodated to any changes I wanted (even when I was extra picky) ensuring I was happy with them. I highly recommend her, I can't wait to go back again!

I was looking for a nail salon in Cardiff and I came across Purely Nails. Gira is such an amazing nail tech as well as a totally lovely lady. I got a fibre glass gel manicure which I'd never heard of before, but has worked wonders on my short, brittle nails. She's so precise and really cares about her clients' nails. Her salon is totally relaxing and she has so many colour choices!
