After looking for sooooo long for a good nail place I finally found the best!! My first experience was to get a set of acrylics done with gel and it surpassed my expectations! She did exactly what I wanted even down to the colour and they lasted it for so long! My second experience, I just decided to get a luxury pedicure with gel and I was not expecting what I got, and I mean it was luxury! They let you pick from different types of scrubs and creams. They put fresh oranges into the water and use hot stones to massage your legs along with a hot towel too! I couldn't believe how amazing it was and I can't wait to go back again! I will not be going to any other nail shop and this is now my go to!! ♥️♥️

Highly recommend. One week in and my nails still look beautiful. I have never worn Acrylics before but I love them, I needed polished nails for filming at work and honestly I'm really happy with my experience here, the lady I saw was really helpful. I'll be back for sure. The only thing I would say is they don't take card (which I find weird but maybe a UK thing) so make sure to take cash money with you or it will be a bit of a headache.

I've been going to Ella for just under a year. I confess I can be quite picky but Ella and Chelsea are amazing, patient and so friendly. I can tell Ella goes above and beyond to make sure my nails are perfect. Down to the right nail tips, thickness of the nails, shape and any colours or patterns I may want. I've noticed she even remembers certain details that make me really happy. She takes the time to go over ideas with me if I'm thinking of trying something new. I'm always offered a drink, coffee or a coke. It's rare to get such great customer service and I just want to thank them for always going above and beyond. It's noticed and appreciated. Thank you for the wonderful nails 💖

Absolutely love this place! I came in for a pedicure, and it was hands down the best I've ever had. The atmosphere is so calming, and the staff is professional and friendly. They really take their time to ensure every detail is perfect. My feet feel so smooth, and the nail polish is flawless. I'll definitely be coming back regularly. If you want a relaxing and luxurious nail experience, this is the spot!

I don't usually write reviews but I definitely think this salon is one of the best in this area! This is my fourth time here and have been super happy with my nails every time. I always get compliments on my nails as well!
