I've been coming here for a while and honestly wouldn't go anywhere else! The staff are so lovely and professional, and my nails always look perfect - the shape, colour, and finish are flawless every time. The salon is spotless and has such a relaxing atmosphere. I do wish they still offered a student or NHS (Blue Light) discount, but even without it, the service and quality are always worth it! 💅💕

I have been coming Zen nails for over 5 years now, they are so lovely and helpful. Nothing is ever too much for them and it's always such a pleasure going to get my nails done there. No design is ever to much and they will always cater and advise on the nails you are getting! Never had a bad set from them! The team are great! Amy and Lee are amazing and have built such a great shop. They also do the most relaxing pedicures with great massage chairs! Thank you so much for always making sure my nails look great

Been going for months and they always do such an amazing job! Jasmine did some gorgeous BIAB as my most recent set - pictures are when I first got them done vs 2 weeks after. Can't recommend them enough!!
