I had a really lovely experience today getting my toenails done by the young girl with the blue money pieces in her hair. She was incredibly thorough, and even though my toenails were a bit of a mess, they turned out exactly how I wanted. She checked in with me about the pink colour and the shape of the French, really listened to what I wanted, and shaped my toenails perfectly. She took so much care and paid great attention to detail. A massive thank you, I really am so happy with them!

Quick experience with quality results! The staff were super friendly and informative, and the price was extremely fair. My nails were super damaged when I went in, and I've come out with a beautiful manicure/extensions. I highly recommend!

This is a little gem in Leigh, lovely friendly staff, excellent manicure, they remember your colour and style...and a value for money, relaxing pedicure. Nice vibe and not made to feel you're on a conveyor belt... so a personal touch. You won't find anywhere better in Leigh, or Westcliff, believe me.

Had gel nails and a pedicure done here yesterday for holiday and I am absolutely delighted with the results. Wonderful salon where all the staff were so friendly and a HUGE choice of polish colours (wether in be normal of gel) to choose from. It was busy when I was in and everyone was chatting away, very relaxed. A lovely welcoming social experience. Would definitely recommend for all your nail care needs.

Always friendly and welcoming here. The girls are lovely, chatty and the atmosphere is great. They all do a brilliant set of nails so you can be confident of a good job whoever does your nails. It's really easy to get an appointment, really convenient to pay as Cherry takes cards and opening hours will suit everyone. Honestly, you can't go wrong here.
