Quick info
About Jade & Ella Nail Spa
Hand-painted nail art anchors the work at Jade & Ella Nail Spa, a nail salon on Derby Road in Nottingham, where designs are freehanded rather than applied from transfers, and a photo brought in by the customer can be copied onto the nail. Alongside the art, the team covers acrylics, gel infills and French manicures. Customers choose their own colours, shapes and styles, including designs that sit outside the salon's own menu. Walk-ins are taken and are asked to take a seat until a technician is free, and appointments can also be booked, though a wait is common on busy days such as Saturday afternoons. Payment is cash only, so plan for that before arriving. The entrance is step-free, which helps visitors with mobility needs get in without assistance. Several technicians work across the floor, and the salon keeps a website where its designs can be viewed. It opens Monday to Saturday and closes on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the hand-done nail art, from freehanded designs copied from a photo to hand-painted holiday nails and Disney nails made from scratch. Close behind are acrylics and a gel infill French manicure that looked natural, along with staff described as friendly, understanding and good at listening to exactly what style, shape and colour a customer wants. One reviewer credits the team with being understanding about their autism. Several say they would never go anywhere else, and one calls the prices affordable. The recurring complaint is the wait. One reviewer sat for over an hour on a busy Saturday afternoon despite an appointment suggestion, another reports over an hour and a half and wishes the expected wait were stated before sitting down, and a first-time booked customer also waited an hour. That same reviewer says their nails needed redoing after a week. Another was seen about fifteen minutes after the appointment time, and a reviewer who calls the waits long still finds them worth it. One reviewer suggests booking an appointment to avoid the long wait.

- Lindsay Walton
“Always a super long wait. Latest was over 1.5 hours. I think they should mention the expected wait time before asking you to sit down. Like the nails. But not how long the whole process takes.”
