Quick info
About Magic Nails
Magic Nails is a nail salon on Stockport Rd in Manchester, working by appointment rather than walk-in seating. The service list includes gel polish and gel nails, along with french tips. Appointments can be booked over the phone, and last-minute slots can sometimes be fit in for clients who need a quicker turnaround. The salon opens Monday to Saturday and stays closed on Sundays, giving a fixed weekly rhythm for anyone planning ahead. Calling ahead remains the more reliable way to secure a time, though the option for same-day requests sets it apart from salons that require booking well in advance.

“Great customer service, funny staff, gorgeous nails and very reasonable price. Will be definitely coming back. Also thank you for fitting me in last minute before my holiday ✨”
- Ahnum Babar
“Absolutely disgusting customer service, owner has no respect how to speak to customers. Come in to get nails taken off, her attitude was horrible ‘no time today to do it you can go elsewhere but got no time to do it today’. Slamming her pen. Not welcoming at all. Definitely don’t recommend customers coming to her. I would have given her no stars but unfortunately can’t.”

Customer Review Summary
Gel manicures are the consistent draw, with reviewers repeatedly praising how long the polish holds, some reporting six to seven weeks without a chip, and others noting nails that survived days of wear before any wear showed. French tips also get singled out for praise, and several diners mention being squeezed in for last minute appointments before events or holidays. The staff are described repeatedly as friendly and patient, taking time to make sure customers are happy with shape and colour before they leave, and prices are called reasonable across multiple reviews. One reviewer names a technician who gave close attention and a steady hand. Against this, one reviewer describes a sharply different encounter, saying the owner refused to remove nail polish that day, spoke dismissively, and slammed a pen down, calling the interaction unwelcoming. Most accounts, though, describe returning monthly for the same technician and treatment, with one reviewer noting their nails were checked and adjusted repeatedly until they were satisfied before leaving.
