Honestly my mom and I booked in the morning in hurry for afternoon appointment and we luckly got it. The staff was very friendly and did exactly what we wanted. We are very satisfied despite the tough and complicated design that had to be done. The staff did extremely great job and the nails look fabulous. I would definitely recommend this nail bar. The male staff member who did my feet French tips really put the efforts in and did it with dedication and precision. The lady who did my hands acrylic nails also nailed it and gave gorgeous finishing and beautiful look even when it was time consuming. My mom was also very delighted with the female member of staff who did her nails and was impressed by the clean finishing and the final look as they looked awesome. She was very friendly and welcoming too.

Best nail salon experience I've ever had! They aren't too thin, and the customer service was great. Only took around an hour for a full set of acrylic french tips which is great for a Saturday before christmas! Xx

I'm really particular about my French tips, but they are always 10/10 every single time. The whole team is so warm and welcoming, and the salon is always spotless. They truly go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and valued. I wouldn't go anywhere else! I've tried every nail shop & this one will be my go too! & also such good value for money considering how much time & care they spend on your nails 10/10

I went for a spa pedicure and manicure, then had shellac polish on my toes and nails. They were very thorough. When I got home I noticed that one nail looked like something had got under it, I popped in the next day and it was instantly fixed. I would highly recommend.

Been twice, always great. Today I did walk in without appointment (Saturday) and they managed to see me within 10 min! First time I was seen straight away. This It was extremely busy. People are complaining that they speak in their own language but it's simply easier for them to communicate as English isn't their first language. It doesn't bother me. They joke with clients so be prepared for their humor and don't take everything seriously 😊 will be back soon! If you are not happy about something just let them know there and then!

had 2 different biab sets recently and I'm so so pleased with the service. I've never been able to grow my natural nails before and so I'm super happy to have finally achieved healthy, longer nails with the builder gel the salon offers. staff are friendly and even kindly repaired one of my nails for free after it broke and chippe after a few days at work. only used this salon twice but would highly reccomend and will definitely continue to return🙂

The place is very clean and easily accessible. I had a Manicure and Pedicure today and I love the fact that they offer Walk ins. They don't accept Card payments, so it's better to have cash. I didn't have cash as I didn't know that prior but they were lenient enough to let me do a Bank transfer which is nice. The guy who did my pedicure was super nice. He took his time and even offered me a drink choice. Ended up having a bottle of water. The manicure was good too. I love how my nails turned out. The guy who did them was super friendly. Only suggestion I could make is to allow enough time while switching the LED from one hand to another or let the Client know its time to switch so that they could be Mentally prepared and don't feel rushed. I asked the guy for more time and he was super nice about it. He did a Great job. I will definitely be back and will recommend the place to others. Thank you!
