As one of the few men that visit this charming salon, I thought it was time to leave a review. I have been seeing Helen at The Little Nail Room for now 10 (!!) years. Having moved to London in Aug 2015, I moved in right round the corner to her salon, I walked in a few weeks after I touched down in London and needed a manicure as had a job interview and just wanted a nice mens mani - I ended up getting a Pedicure too because I absolutely hate cutting my own toenails and the vibe from H was on point. She did an incredible job. She was warm, funny, friendly and I could practice my Mandarin with her too (I moved here from Hong Kong but my Mandarin is shite!) So - now 10 years on (once a month for the last 10 years is 120 visits) - I can say with full authority and agency that HELEN AND HER TEAM ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!! Aside from making my toes and fingers less gross and more attractive for other men to look at...she has helped me with several foot issues that have cropped up - calis / ingrown toenails / corns - general boy-grossness. I never had to see any specialists because Helen new how to deal with all of the perils of having active feet. She is a pro - I send all my guy and girl besties to her, and they keep going back. Feel free to contact me if you need more info. My advice: RUN - dont walk to Helen's nail room. Love you Helen. Thanks for everything

This was my first trip to the UK, and after two weeks of traveling, I was in dire need of getting my nails done. The nail artist who did my nails was very kind, precise, and attentive. The next time I'm in London and need a manicure, I'll definitely come back.

My friend Chaand recommended The Little Nail Room and, I will never go anywhere but now. Helen is the absolute best. She's funny, talented, and somehow makes a gel manicure last longer than the milk in my fridge. The other girl who works there is amazing too - super skilled, and so accommodating. Between the laughs, the good vibes, and the nails that refuse to chip, I couldn't recommend this place more. Nail dates here are basically therapy, but with prettier hands at the end. Thank you Helen!!!!

Amazing!!!! I had a serious nail emergency and it was a proper challenge to get sorted! I saw really positive reviews of this salon and I was staying at a hotel nearby for work. I literally dropped on and got so so lucky!!! They had a gap and did a totally miraculous job with my shambolic BIAB nails! I wish I had a "before" photo but trust me what the amazing lady did to my nails was incredible! I had a dinner and a number of major work engagements to attend this next few days ahead this made such a difference!

I did my nails with my friend and we had our nails done by Helen. She was very warm, welcoming and even stayed a whole hour after the nail salon closed just to finish our nails, since she was working on both me and my friend at once. It was a miracle that she finished so quickly and she cared about our pain tolerance and always asked if we feel pain. Most of the nail salons I used to go to would cut my cuticles quite roughly but she was very caring and gentle. I would definitely recommend The Little Nail Room. The nails are of good quality and the prices are decent as well. I would recommend!
