Quick info
About STUDIO 225
Hair colour, nails, lashes, make-up, massage and tanning sit under one roof at STUDIO 225, a beauty salon on Elliott St in Manchester, so clients can combine several treatments in one visit instead of splitting them between places. The nail side covers gel polish, manicures and pedicures, while semi-permanent lash work runs as ongoing infill appointments every few weeks. Colour work begins with a consultation held before the appointment itself. Everything is booked in advance, with each slot held by an individual stylist, therapist or technician, and clients can rebook with the same person time after time. Make-up application is available alongside the treatment list. A step-free, wheelchair-accessible entrance lets visitors with mobility needs get in without stairs. The salon opens Tuesday to Saturday and closes on Mondays and Sundays. The owner works on the floor alongside the team.

Customer Review Summary
Nails anchor most of what reviewers describe here, with several calling their sets perfect visit after visit and one first timer returning specifically for them. Close behind sits hair, where a client who came in for a colour correction credits the stylist with setting realistic expectations at consultation, warning it could take more than one appointment, and getting her wearing her hair down again after weeks of hiding it. Others single out a pedicure with massage, heated booties and gel toes, a massage that left one client wanting to sleep, and a makeup artist who checked throughout whether the look needed changing. The clearest complaint also concerns nails: one reviewer describes polish applied unevenly and nails left uncleaned underneath, a curt reply when a correction was politely requested, and the fix carried out with obvious reluctance. Several reviewers recommend the salon outright, among them a lash client who describes returning every few weeks over several years for semi permanent infills that draw compliments.

“I had an amazing massage today with the lovely Steph. I was stressed and sore when I went in and came out feeling so relaxed I wanted to go to sleep (shame I had to go back to work straight after!). I would highly recommend Steph and will be back again! Thanks again.”

“Just want to say thank you much to Lily❤️ 18 year old makeup artist so professional, great customer service and driven to make sure you very happy with her work. She did an amazing makeup look always making sure to ask if I liked what she d done and if I wanted more or to change things throughout the process. Her communication is on point Thank you Lily I had lots of compliments on my makeup on that evening ❤️”

“I was very disappointed with the Amy service. The work was clearly done with speed in mind rather than quality. The nail polish was applied unevenly, the nails were not cleaned underneath, and when I politely asked for a correction, the response was, “So what should I do with this?” – seriously?! In the end, Amy did correct it, but with great reluctance and visible dissatisfaction. Very unprofessional. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend.”

“I cannot recommend this salon, more so the staff enough. From the very get go I was met with a welcoming and relaxed environment, polite and friendly staff and nothing, and I mean nothing was too much. I had gone to Stacy in particular for a colour correction and needed a lot of help. Stacy during the consultation immediately reassured me and was actually pretty excited about the challenge but what I really appreciated is how Stacy remained realistic and was honest on what she felt she could achieve and that to get where I wanted it would take a couple of appointments. That’s professional, and honest and I really needed that. Stacy has many years of experience and knowledge behind her, pair them with the qualities she has and I knew she would smash it and smash she did. 1 sitting and I can’t believe what she has achieved! I’ve hid my hair, slicked back for weeks and today I wear it down and love it. 100% would I recommend. I feel like me again!”
