Best nail place around, exceptional service - can't do enough for you and go above and beyond. Every customer is treatments extremely well and like they're the only person in the shop which shows just how amazing the customer care and service is. Lovely friendly family run business. Always fitted my in, I was often late when I did have an appointment and they worked to fit all those in the shop in so we'll, extremely convenient that you can get your nails done at late notice and nothing at all is too much trouble. Even worked late on Xmas eve one year to ensure I had the Christmas nails that I wanted. Use this nail business - you won't regret it! I moved out of the area so go elsewhere now but these guys are the absolutely best at what they do.

The most amazing nail shop around, both the two nail artists who work there are so talented. I've never been to a nail shop where I have felt so comfortable and had a nail technician really envisage my nails and bring them to life. Time and precision is key at Special Nails and it truly does pay off. If you are looking for somewhere in an accessible location and to be able to chat freely with no judgment, whilst getting a great pair of nails done, you must go to Special Nails💕💕 I cannot recommend enough!x

I've been coming to Special Nails for 10 years now and wouldn't go anywhere else. What makes this place stand out is how much pride they take in their work. I get compliments on my nails every single time! I can always get an appointment even if last minute and I never feel rushed and feel they always go over and above to make sure my nails look perfect! Highly recommend - 10/10! 💅
