First time with Fran. She was patient and explained things through throughly. Took off my existing biap and put a new coat on with a design. Literally love my nails I've already booked my next appointment. The room was nice and cozy and she made me feel so relaxed and we had such a laugh. I would definitely 100% recommend Fran

Very good experience and from now on I will only be using Fran for doing my nails. Very relaxing atmosphere and nail master is professional. Fran done my nails with extra care. As I was completely new to this nail bar, Fran asked me my preferences always made sure I am happy with how my nails look like and what polish to use etc. Definitely would recommend for ladies to use this nail bar.

Just had acrylic extensions and colour, also colour on toe nails. Fran was lovely and I will definitely be coming back! Nice relaxing environment which isn't a salon top!

First visit to Fran, but will definitely return. I checked out the reviews before booking, and wasn't disappointed. She was warm and welcoming, but also professional and thorough. The salon is spotless, and masks and sanitiser were used. Fran explained my options, and was so helpful. Very happy with my nails, highly recommended!

Went to Fran for the first time last night, and can say I will be returning. She is brilliant! She was so caring and explaining what she was doing for me and was so gentle with everything she did! She was very chatty and made me feel so comfortable from the moment I got there! My nails are gorgeous and I can't wait to go back and have them done again

I have had my nails done twice by fran and have absolutely loved them both times. I've had lists of comments by other people saying how lovely they are too. Fran is lovely and makes you feel very welcome. She takes her time to make sure they are perfect. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to have nails done.
