Wendy is very welcoming and her salon is super comfortable and makes your feel very at ease during your treatment. Wendy takes time and care to ensure you get the very best service - maintaining healthy nails is her priority! I was a serial nail biter and now you would never tell - her BIAB and gel services really changed my nail game! Always get so many compliments on my nails and the designs - she gives anything a go! The best nail salon!!

I discovered Tootsie Custom Nails about nine months ago and after my very first visit, I was so impressed that I rebooked on the spot. Wendy ensures the experience is relaxing, offering a drink and friendly conversation. The nail studio is spotless and the nail work is always excellent. Great service, great value for money - highly recommended!

Firstly Wendy is great. Made me feel welcome and at ease in her very lovely salon. I got BIAB, which we are trying out, as I've not had my nails done in years. Wendy was knowledgeable about the products and nail care. I'm also obsessed with the range of colour choices and glitters I could see. No over drilling or damaging processes were used (very light filling and cuticle clean up) and I felt like Wendy really cared about providing a great service whilst guiding me towards things that would suit my nails and help them stay healthy. Would recommend and will be going back!

Have had my nails done by Wendy a few times now and have always loved the sets she's created. She has a massive choice of colours and is happy to be creative when you have inspo pics. Would highly recommend

About Tootsie Custom Nails

Tootsie Custom Nails is a small, independent nail studio based in Ilford, holding a strong customer rating from many customer reviews. The salon operates on an appointment basis and has built a consistent record of satisfied clients since at least mid-2023. Customers repeatedly highlight the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere of the studio, describing it as comfortable and immaculately kept. Reviewers note that a drink is offered on arrival and that conversation flows naturally throughout appointments. Nail health is a clear focus — several clients mention BIAB specifically as a treatment that has strengthened and improved their nails over time, with one noting a significant change after years of nail biting. The wide selection of colours, glitters, and willingness to work from inspiration images also comes up across multiple reviews. The team character that emerges consistently is one of attentiveness, product knowledge, and genuine care for results. Services include gel manicure, BIAB, nail extensions, nail art, nail repair, and standard manicures. The studio is closed on Sundays. Wednesday and Thursday feature split shifts with an evening slot running until 8:30pm, which may suit those unavailable during standard daytime hours. Booking in advance is recommended.
