I came here for the first time today and had such a nice experience. I had BIAB infills from a lovely lady. She was very friendly and smiley. There were so many colours to choose from which is something I had not experienced in the other 2 places I frequent in Buckinghamshire. I am also a wheelchair user and she was nothing but accommodating and if anything going completely above and beyond. She asked whether I would like to transfer into the chairs they have which I was thankful for as most places just assume I'll stay sat in my wheelchair so feel like I'm not given the option and definitely undermines a disabled person. She asked whether I needed help and had her arms out willing to assist me if I was struggling to move across and did the same as I was leaving - I was also helped by another one of their clients which was very kind. She opened the door for me as I left and asked if I'd be okay or if I needed to wait for someone to come meet me. I just had such a positive experience! It was also a Saturday which as you can imagine is a busy day, but I did not feel they were rushing to get anyone's nails done just to get onto the next person in which I think is hard to find in a nail bar, they were efficient with managing their time but didn't rush the final touches and they were honest with the next clients coming in with how long the wait time was which I also think is not done well in other places and a big turn away for me in other places. They are also very reasonably priced, which was definitely a draw in for me given that I haven't been to any other bars in Oxford / Headington before. All in all, a really nice experience, I will definitely be returning when I can and recommending Tina's to others. Thank you so much guys!

firstly belled them up and went for a walk-in, layout of the space calm and comfortable. the service tho? wham, i love it; especially the lady who did my gel removal as well as powder gel application on my actual nail bed (she's my new favourite!). she shaped them exactly the way i've pictured in mi head and perfection; halfway through the process i got too excited d: no one has understood the nail bed assignment as professionally as they did, and i've been getting my nails done for years now. allow them to give you time in their day and you will not be disappointed. #chrome_baddies.

I have been coming regular to Tina's Nails since September and couldn't be happier with some of the designs they have done for me! I have often come in with photo inspiration and explained colour changes and they have been brilliant in putting my ideas onto my nails! This has also impressed me greatly because my nails are quite small and my hands are flimsy and difficult to work with but they have taken great care during all of my appointments. They are very efficient and the prices are good, a long set tends to last me 3-4 weeks personally. So long as you expect to be in and out the door with minimal chat, the team at Tina's are brilliant and I would recommend 💗

I have never had more beautiful nails. PERIODT. Not only have they given me the perfect shape nail shape they've done it so the acrylics are thin but durable (unlike other places where the acrylics are very thick and heavy). This all happened while i walked in without an appointment, and 20 minutes from closing. I felt accommodated and not rushed even though they stayed open 20 minutes past closing. could not recommend more x

Better place in headington for a Pedicure while seated in a massage chair. Staffs are really nice but talking different language each other. They use clean equipments and sterilise after use, change gloves when they are with new clients. Not highly professional but skilful. I'll go back again.
