About Wonderful Nail Bar
Wonderful Nail Bar works on a walk-in basis as a nail salon on Wilmslow Rd in Manchester, so anyone passing can call in without an appointment and be seen without booking ahead. The service list covers gel manicures, full sets of acrylics and pedicures, with a spa pedicure among the options. Payment is cash only, which is worth knowing before you arrive, and student discounts apply on nail services, bringing down the cost for anyone studying nearby. The salon runs Monday to Saturday and closes on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Full sets of acrylics draw the most repeat praise, with several describing them as exactly what was asked for, fast, and long lasting, one first timer calling it a seamless experience and another crediting the salon with transforming badly bitten nails. Close behind come the student discounts, singled out repeatedly as generous, and a gel manicure one reviewer found quick, careful and thorough compared with other local salons; a spa pedicure gets a mention as relaxing and thorough. Several note walking in without booking. The atmosphere divides opinion, with more than one describing little chatter and a place that is not the friendliest, though some prefer the quiet. Two accounts are sharply negative: one describes crooked nails, a refusal to fix them and being spoken to loudly before the whole set was removed, and another describes the wrong colour being applied, being told she was making a fuss, and being asked for full price after one coat, adding a concern that the interior and tools looked unclean.

“Can’t recommend highly enough. My nails were a mess, bitten halfway down the bed and in terrible condition. Now they look beautiful! Better than I could have hoped for, and she did a full set so fast! I’ll be a regular now. Obsessed. Wonderful is exactly that.”
- Dr Tahira Ellahi

“exactly what i wanted! really nice constantly asked if i was happy w/ them. pretty quick and cheap! (£38 for full set acrylics)”
- Tessa Gaukroger
“Probably the worst experience I’ve ever had at a nail salon. I asked for a certain colour but they started to paint another colour on my nails, when I pointed out that it was completely different to what I’d chosen they relentlessly told me I was wrong and that I was making a fuss over nothing. I felt so uncomfortable that I left. Then they tried to charge me full price when they had barely put one coat on! It’s also dirty inside and the tools don’t look like they’ve been sterilised in a while. Avoid.”
- CharBella
“Great nails, speedy service, walk in no issue. £28 for full set of coloured acrylics (actually coloured acrylic not gel or polish).”
