Absolutely love this nail salon! My nails come out perfect every single time, and the staff couldn't be lovelier-always warm, welcoming, and attentive. For London, the prices are incredibly reasonable, especially given the quality of the work. I genuinely wouldn't go anywhere else! 🎀💅🏼🩷

This is my new go-to nail salon near work. The salon has such a calm atmosphere and is a lovely place to go with a friend. The attention to detail is outstanding. Haley has done my nails twice now and she's done an amazing job both times, I come away so happy with the result. I've got some simple nail art so far but can't wait to try some other designs with Haley. Not only that but everyone is so friendly and Haley is wonderful. Thank you so much and look forward to seeing you again soon!

This is my second time in this Nail salon. Very professional and both time nails are perfect. It was longlasting which I felt like is good for a person like me that not get the nail done too often. Service is good, environment is nice, not too crowded.

I tried to book this nail salon today but there were no free appointments during the time I wanted, so I tried a different salon. The other salon was a huge disappointment when I checked the website again, luckily I got an appointment at the Nailist, and I'm so lucky that I did! This experience was completely the opposite of the previous salon. In this salon I got very personal attention, the nail technician paid careful attention to my nail history and tailored my treatment to meet my needs and correct previous problems. The appointment started on time and the technician was very efficient, and by the end I had beautiful nails. They corrected the previous problem which had left my nails thick and clunky and mixed various applications. Throughout the appointment they were extremely pleasant and engaging without talking your ear off. This is one of the best manicures and best appointments I have had in a long time, and I highly recommend this little salon with very personalized and highly professional service. The prices are also extremely reasonable and the variety of offerings in terms of color and design is comprehensive. Everything was perfect, don't waste your time somewhere else. Also ignore any negative reviews, they're absolute nonsense!

Had another great experience at the Nailist today! I booked for infills & nail art design and I'm incredibly impressed with the results. Hayley, who usually does my nails, has done an excellent job as always and takes great care in her work. Everyone there is always so warm and welcoming, I've been coming here for 5+ months and will continue to do so. Thank you again Hayley for my beautiful holiday nails 🔥🖤

I've been going here every month for a year and it's the best salon I've ever been to. Amy and the team are incredible and attentive, always asking if I'm happy with them. The results are flawless every time.

My absolute favourite nail salon - I wouldn't go anywhere else. Always immaculate, super attentive, and consistently beautiful nails. Big shout-out to Amy, who is brilliant. The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly, and welcoming, and I often come with my 12-year-old daughter - they're always wonderful with her. A genuinely lovely place to spend time, and I always leave with perfect nails. Highly recommend!

First time here, living a 2 min walk away Got acrylics with gel polish, happy with result. They cleaned up my nails really well too - so if you're only wanting a manicure, they're very good! Only note is that there doesn't seem to be any heating inside, I was quite cold Will be back, just need to dress up warmer! Love my nails

Couldn't recommend this salon more. The quality of the nails is genuinely the best I've had, and my BIAB always lasts perfectly! The results are consistently flawless. On top of that, their loyalty programme is such a great touch and makes coming back even more rewarding. Highly recommend!!
