    I absolutely love this place!! 🤩 Very friendly atmosphere, professional staff and quality work! 👌what else could you wish for !? 💞 I couldn't go for an infill when I usually would, due to being on holiday and my nails lasted for nearly 5(!!) weeks with no issues even though they were long. There are other nail salons in the area and they're ok but this place is a different level. If you want the best service, you should pick them. 🔥 Highly recommended ! 😍

    The best place ever! Such lovely people that are perfectionists but also so quick! Got the best nail art and cat eye today but have also been for nail extensions and gels before, incredible value for money and super helpful

    Entering in this beauty salon is a truly unique experience: amazingly refurbished, always clean and neat, it's a fantastic place to spend some time taking care of yourself. More importantly, the members of staff are extremely competent and professional, and always do their best to understand and deliver exactly what you desire! It's nice to spend some time there and have lovely chats with the super friendly people who work there. I've been here already 4 times, and I had my builder gel manicure done multiple times, with high quality products, and it lasted for an entire month. The staff members always advise the best solution, in terms of quality, aesthetics and price combinations. They do amazingly well, from the simple one colour nails to the most beautiful and complex nail arts. The last time I had the pleasure to get a pedicure treatment which was simply heaven, with a massaging armchair, amazing scents and the best care ever. Last, but not least, this is the cleanest salon I've seen in a while around, you can be reassured that they always sterilise the tools they use, so that your experience will be pampering but also safe. Thank you! It's a true pleasure to visit you every time!

    Hands down the best set of nails I have ever had. I am 40 so that's a lot of nail appointments. Really high quality - I can't stop looking at them. Very impressed

    I absolutely recommend this salon. They are so friendly and gave me the best conversations lol. I had been to other nail shop but they just didn't care, never chat with me. Thank you The Nail Story team, you did the best pedicure and the best set of design nails I have ever seen. Thank you for your warm welcoming atmosphere too x 🥰
