About A&A Nails
Walk-ins are welcome at A&A Nails, a nail salon on College Green in central Bristol, and appointments can also be booked ahead. The service list runs from acrylic full sets and extensions to gel and builder gel sets, with takeoff of a previous set handled in the same visit. Pedicures can be added alongside a manicure, so a single appointment covers both hands and feet. Payment is cash only, which is worth planning for before you arrive, and a student discount is available. Colour and design choices are confirmed with you as the work goes on. The salon opens daily.

“Had a lovely time at A&A nails. Great quality service and lovely staff. Very talented!”
- Leila Gray
“Really happy with the quality of my gels! Staff were so patient with me as I took a while to choose a colour, they also checked in throughout to make sure it was what I wanted. Incredibly quick & very reasonably priced”
- Izabella Richards
“I asked for an almond shaped, full set of light pink, acrylic nails the shape was really off with many fingers left with wonky nails and the varnish was put on too thick leaving my nails looking chunky and even more uneven. I wouldn’t recommend this place. Definitely not worth the money.”
- Jenna Lipman
“This is my fifth time back here and my favorite place to get my nails done. Walk ins welcome but you can also book ahead. Great place to get wonderful work done by the amazing team, and for an amazing price while on a student budget. Will certainly be back again.”
- Vnussy
“I think it’s safe to say that this is the best nail salon in Bristol. The energy is always welcoming and the staff are very friendly. The lady that did my nails was very attentive to each small detail and made sure I was happy with the end result. The nails I received were beautiful and o think they speak for themselves”

Customer Review Summary
Acrylics are the recurring draw, with several describing full sets and acrylic extension manicures they were happy with, one noting extensions that felt strong and clean with a design they liked. Close behind are gels, where reviewers mention staff staying patient through a slow colour choice and checking in during the appointment, and pedicures, which a few pair with a manicure in a single visit. Walk-ins being taken, quick turnaround, and a student discount come up often, and several call this their regular place in the city. The complaints are specific: one reviewer asked for extra care with the electric file during a builder gel takeoff and describes nail beds left over-filed, cratered and sensitive, while another says an almond-shaped light pink set came out wonky across several fingers with varnish applied too thickly. Positive accounts more often close on the same detail, a technician working through each small detail until the customer said they were happy with the result.
