Love this salon. Great couple - very friendly and such perfectionists. Very reasonable prices and excellent quality of nail work. The shellac lasts for nearly a month. They are also very careful when removing shellac and they do not remove extra nail layers - so my nails remain strong even after several sessions. Highly recommend.

First time using Top Nails and they were amazing! I had a cut on my finger and they were super careful and didn't hurt me, they had great chat and such personable people. Also they were perfectionists and I love that. They are really reasonably priced and it's easy to call ahead and book an appointment to make sure you get in. Thank you both! :)

Used this place a long time ago, then went abroad for a few years and now used recently again after my mum recommended. If you call for appointment or turn up they are always very accommodating. Very quick service and lots of colours designs to choose from gel removal and reapplication £23 very well priced. Note only accepts cash. Thanks for being so helpful.

I've not had a proper service done here but I did go in with a broken acrylic nail yesterday asking for some nail glue (I was a bit desperate) and the manicurist happily glued it back on and buffed/clear polished the nail with no charge. Since she didn't take any payment for the quick fix, I certainly wanted to leave a thankful review. I don't live here but if I did - that would be my salon of choice. Xx

Very friendly staff and very quick process - I didn't have an appointment and they fitted me in and had me out the door in no time. Also very reasonable price for acrylics. Definitely going back.
