Quick info
About Ivy Nails
Ivy Nails is a beauty salon in Manchester, at 14a Oxford Rd, that works entirely on nails. The service list runs from acrylics and gel nails to French tips and custom nail art, with clear acrylic and gel acrylic offered as separate options. A manicure includes a warm water soak, nail shaping and cuticle cutting, and gel nail removal is offered as its own service. Walk-ins are accepted. Card payments carry an extra service charge, a detail worth knowing before paying. The team also works with builder gel, BIAB and shellac, and handles pedicures as well.

Customer Review Summary
Acrylics draw the most praise, with reviewers describing sets that look neat, feel sturdy and finish glossy. Others single out acrylic refills with nail art, a French tip with extension whose shape suited the hand, and a hand-sketched butterfly design. Several call the staff friendly and welcoming, and one says they never felt rushed. Another notes that walk-ins were seated within minutes. Pricing is the recurring complaint. One reviewer was charged more than the listed gel removal price, and another paid extra for clear acrylic over gel acrylic compared with the booking confirmation. A third was told design and length carried a per-nail surcharge. Card payments add a fee that some accepted once it was explained and others objected to. One visit drew a sharply negative review: cuticles were damaged, the design was far from the inspiration photo, the appointment felt rushed, and the nails came off within about a week. Even so, one first-time acrylic client says they would book again.

“Staff are friendly, salon is clean and my nails are fine. But I have short square with french tip that took 50 minutes. And it was £46? On my booking confirmation it said £36. When I asked about this it was explained that because I selected clear acrylic and not gel acrylic that adds £10… (I also paid by card which added £2 the staff did explain this however and I agreed) Don’t want to come across as slandering the business , but seems very unfairly and inconsistently priced.”

“Overall okay service. Got manicure with French tips for £41. In manicure they soak your hand in warm water, shape nails and cut cuticles. Unfortunately my skin got badly cut by cuticle cutter as she went too far, the staff member was very apologetic but it did hurt quite a lot and is bleeding still after the appointment.”

“Lina did a fantastic job with my holiday nails, I came in and asked for a simple French tip with extension and she did well. The shape is perfect and really suits the shape of my hand. No complaints!”
