Customer Review Summary
Reviews split sharply, and the most repeated concern is the quality of the nail work itself. Several describe acrylic and gel sets coming out thick, lumpy, or chunky, gel lifting within about a week, and biab chipping easily. Toes filed too short and cuts around the nail beds also come up. Price is the next complaint: several say the cost changes each visit despite the list on the wall, and one says it came out higher than quoted. Long-time customers say quality slipped as new staff were trained, and that visits now run longer. A few report rude responses to complaints. One reviewer describes seeing a customer shouted at and locked in, and another says tools did not appear to be sanitised. Others are positive, praising quick appointments, nails that last a long time, detailed nail art, and friendly staff who listened and gave honest feedback on what would work. One reviewer who returned to have thick, chunky nails fixed describes leaving with jagged nails and bleeding cuticles.

“Been going a while, but recently my nails are starting to chip easily (the biab, not the gel). The gel lifts after a week. One of the men working there started cutting his own cuticles on the next nail desk, didn’t see any of the tools go into sanitation- this was after slurping his food eating with his mouth open. It used to be really quick in and out and now you’re lucky to be out within an hour and a half but they’re to busy stop starting to talk to each other. Prices are different each time, despite getting the same thing and a price list being up. Shame, as Phan is lovely and likes to make effort! And it was a 10/10 salon.”

“PLEASE AVOID I had nails done here and they have destroyed me am in so much pain cannot use my fingers looks like they have damaged my nails they have drilled my nails down to nothing and then get very angry if you tell them, am going to see about legal action the owner and the big built guy talk about you in there own language and try to belittle you it’s so bad be very careful if you go to this place as I said I. Abbot use my fingers thats the danaged they have done.”

“Dreadful. First and last time. Toes were very messy and filed so short they looked ridiculous. Told them I was unhappy with the quality of the application and they said the issue was the polish and that I should have mentioned this earlier before I moved seats to have my nails done. Most expensive salon I’ve ever used- £57.00- more expensive than city centre place I usually use. Cash only which I hadn’t noted so was asked to leave something behind whilst I ran the cash point. Hugely dissatisfied.”

“Never going back. I've been coming here for over 10 years recently there have been a lot of new faces being trained and the service, value and quality have gone down hill. Everytime you go the price changes regardless of the prices on the wall! Nails lifting after 6 days and cuts around the nail beds! I have recommended this place to friends and family many of times and they have all said the same thing.”
