Quick info
About Nail Bar
Nail Bar is a nail salon at 6 The Hollies in Nottingham, taking walk-ins alongside booked appointments. The work covers acrylic sets and infills, with French tips among the styles requested, including a chrome finish. Customers can bring in a picture of the look they want and have it worked from directly, so a design does not need describing in words. The salon can get busy, and arriving without an appointment may mean a wait. A step-free entrance means visitors with mobility needs can get in without a step. The doors open Monday to Saturday, with Sundays closed.

Customer Review Summary
French tips are what reviewers name most, from a chrome finish set described as done exactly to request to bridal and bridesmaid nails one customer calls beautifully crafted. Close behind is the sense that the technicians work carefully with difficult nails, with several long-standing regulars saying they return year after year and won't go elsewhere, and one noting the staff were gentle and kind about her trouble holding her hands still. Smaller touches also come up: a hot towel at the end of an infill, the coffee, and a loyalty card. Waits draw comment, and one visitor who booked ahead suggests an appointment avoided the queue on a busy day, while a regular defends the walk-in policy. The clearest dissent comes from one reviewer who reports over-filed natural nails, acrylic set too close to the cuticle, French tips already chipping the next day, debris trapped under the polish, and flies and unchanged paper towels in the salon.

“My sister and I have been here many times, but every visit still surprises us. I had French tips with a chrome finish, and She did it exactly the way I wanted, very carefully and precisely. I absolutely love this place and highly recommend it.”

“I got my nails done here yesterday and I’m not happy at all. The lady who did my nails has really over-filed my natural nails underneath the acrylic leaving them feeing burning and sore. Applied the acrylic too close to my cuticle making my skin feel tight, burning and sore. Additionally my french tips are already chipping, and have many flaws already to say they were “fresh” yesterday and the lady did not wipe away any mistakes down the sides. I also have fluff and debris under the nail polish where my nail hasn’t been wiped with acetone. Additionally, the nail dryers had dirty creased up looking paper towels in which did not look like had been changed between clients. There were also flies in the salon. I really wanted to love this salon as it’s in a convenient location but I’m not happy at all with the quality of my French tips and my nails to say it costed £35.”

“I’ve been coming to the nail bar for years and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Chris and Kami are just the best people and they all work so hard. Seen a few comments on here about wait times being too long. I was there today and someone who’d booked an appointment just didn't turn up. If they didn’t take walk ins they would have lost income, they’re trying to run a business so sometimes you have to wait 🙄 and the comments about a different language, English isn’t their first language but their English is way better than my Vietnamese! If you want to know what they’re saying, just ask! If you want amazing nails in a friendly environment then the Nail Bar is for you 🤩”

“I love this nail salon! I have tried several nail salons across London, Oxford and Nottingham. This is by far my favourite. I live in Oxford, but I regularly come to Nottingham to get my nails done here with my mum - they’re that good. My nails have always been particularly difficult to do, but they do it so expertly that I can’t imagine going anywhere else. Also, I struggle with staying still or positioning my hands correctly and I’ve had people in other salons be very rude about it in the past, but here they’re very gently and kind.”

“Great experience every single time. So fast and skilled at what they do and every worker is so friendly. Won't go anywhere else for my nails now!”
