    I went in today for the first time and to have extensions put on for the first time. Asya did my nails and she was amazing. I showed her my inspiration photo and she fulfilled it. I am absolutely in love with my nails and have already rebooked fort next ones.

    Ruth was incredible! So lovely she chatty. Took time to make sure the placement looked perfect and that it didn't hurt my terrible natural nails! 10/10 would recommend and I can't wait to come back ❤️
