About Studio 64
Studio 64 is a nail salon at 25 in Manchester, staffed by a team that includes a male nail technician alongside the female technicians, giving clients a wider choice of who does their nails. The service list runs to BIAB with a gel colour on top, a set many clients renew every few weeks, plus french tips in shapes including almond. Nail art can be painted over french tips, with the design quoted separately from the base set. A range of acrylic and gel colours is kept in, and pedicures come with a choice of scents. Walk-ins are taken alongside booked appointments, so arriving without a slot is an option, though a wait before being seated is possible at busier times. The salon opens daily. Refreshments such as chocolates are handed out on arrival.

“Amazing service from Nina. She was very polite and made me feel comfortable while doing my nails . Will definitely come back to get my nails done here ❤️”

“I came to get almond frenchies and despite the long wait, the service was excellent. I’m very pleased with my nails and was even offered chocolates. The ladies were very polite and NiNa did my nails beautifully! They offer 10% discount for students and nhs workers as well so that was the cherry on top.”

“I’ve visited this salon numerous times and every experience has been absolutely amazing! The staff are always so friendly, and everyone I’ve referred has had an equally fantastic experience. Nina’s service and attention to detail are top-quality - she’s an incredible nail artist and such a lovely, friendly person. The refreshments on arrival are also a really nice personal touch. Highly recommend!”

“I have been going here since they opened which I believe to be 2 years. I never had my nails done before going to this salon and decided to make it a regular treatment. I get BIAB with a gel colour over. Not once in 2 years have they said I needed a soak off every couple of sets. This can lead to mould under my nails. The last 3 sets have not lasted longer than 2 weeks so I went into the salon today to get a new set and to ask why. The answer was that I needed a soak off and that this would be extra. If this was just it, it would have been fine. The application is terrible and always has been. The girl next to me asked why I return and that was a very good question. My BIAB was peeling off after a week and my natural nail underneath was breaking yet none of the staff could figure out why this was. I left the salon before having my procedure and decided to message the owner on instagram. She had always been very forthcoming and welcoming in the limited interactions I have had with her so decided this would be my best route. Side note - a lady in the last couple of months came into the salon while I was waiting and complained about the same thing, I told her to message on instagram as the owner seemed lovely. I had sent pictures and told them the application is the reason for my issues and they decided to say they will feed back to ‘the gel bottle’ as their product may be faulty? She then accused me of being rude (which I wasn’t) then blocked me. Happy to share pictures of the conversations if people need more information. Reading the reviews today I saw that it said they always tidy up the cuticles, I can count on one hand how many times they have done this in 2 years!!!!”

“A special thank you to Wendy who mainly does my nails, I get my nails done every 3 weeks. The lovely ladies and the gentleman have made my biab experience very lovely. I also got my 4 year old nieces nails done last week, she absolutely loved her experience, everyone was so brilliant with her. Thank you to the 64 team xx”

Customer Review Summary
BIAB sits at the center of what regulars come back for, with several describing years of repeat visits and one crediting the team with making the experience a lovely one. Close behind are French tips, praised for shaping on almond frenchies and for precise work, and reviewers also single out the range of acrylic and gel colours and the scents offered for pedicures. The complaints are detailed and carry weight. One reviewer describes waiting outside past opening with no explanation, being seated after later arrivals, and paying for nail art over French tips that came out see through and patchy, with mistakes smudged or dotted over rather than fixed and no reduction offered; they suggest looking elsewhere for anything beyond simple French tips. Another reports BIAB peeling within a week, natural nails breaking, being told only later that a soak off was needed, and being blocked after raising it. Others mention chocolates and refreshments handed out on arrival.
