About Mina Kokosh
Mina Kokosh works as a nail salon, hairdresser and beauty salon under one roof at 1221 Gallowgate in Glasgow. The nail side covers shaping and design, with glitter finishes among the options, while spa pedicures and toes are handled alongside. Hair work runs from cuts to colour, including half-head highlights, and the treatment list extends to eyelashes and waxing. Appointments are recommended and are made in advance online through a booking portal or Treatwell, with a deposit paid at the point of booking so the slot is held for you. Walk-ins may be accepted when there is room, though the diary is the surer route. The doors open daily, which gives some flexibility for fitting an appointment around a working week. A step-free, wheelchair-accessible entrance means visitors with mobility needs can get in without a step at the door.

Customer Review Summary
Nails draw the strongest praise, with repeat clients describing shape and design coming out exactly as pictured and one reviewer reporting purple glitter nails and toes still going strong after more than four weeks. Close behind, a spa pedicure earns credit for a technician who took her time, and a wax service is described as painless, professional and quick. Several call the atmosphere safe, warm and welcoming, and one notes a technician's patience with a nervous daughter. The hair side attracts most of the complaints. One reviewer describes hair being tugged and burnt with straighteners, no attempt to restyle, an overcharge, and a refusal to escalate past the stylist who said she was the manager. Another says half head highlights ran long, came out with very dark roots unlike the photo supplied, and that a request to fix it was declined. Two more report deposits paid online for bookings the salon could not then find, and one describes snappy, unhelpful staff.
