Nails On The Exe

17-18 The Strand,, Exmouth, Devon, EX8 1AF

About us

We’re proud to be Exmouth’s most in-demand nail salon, known for our fully booked schedule, expert care, and loyal client base. This summer, we’ve doubled our staff hours—but only for the school holidays—so there’s more room than ever to welcome both our amazing regulars and fresh new faces.

At Nails on the Exe, we specialise in BIAB (Builder in a Bottle) manicures — the perfect way to strengthen, grow, and enhance your natural nails safely and beautifully. We do not offer extensions or acrylic full sets, focusing instead on natural nail health and long-lasting results.

Our salon is exclusive, professional, and committed to quality. We only use UK-certified products and tools that are specifically designed for safe natural nail use.

I was very pleased with the pedicure that Sasha gave me. She is very thorough and gentle and my feet felt so much better afterwards.
Sasha applied the gel to my toes in a very professional manner and I was very pleased with the result.
Overall a very pleasant experience.

I’ve been here 6 times and the last two visits have been disappointing. The last time, I was only offered certain colours and the other colour books were not shared with me. I asked if I could see them and the answer was “no, it’s only these colours I’m afraid”. I’m unsure why this was. The main complaint though was that she cut me three times with the drill. I actually flinched and said ouch and she said that that had never happened before?! She got far too close to my nail bed with the file machine. There was no apology. Today one of my fingers feels sore. Also, the top coat was rushed and I can see that she didn’t cover the whole nail. The time before, I wasn’t consulted on the nail shape and was just given square nails. This was done by another technician. I won’t visit again. It’s a shame as there used to be a fantastic technician, I think she’s left now

Response from Nails On The Exe

Hi anonymous,

I’m so sorry to hear this — that’s absolutely not the experience I’d ever want for you or anyone who visits us. Please accept my sincerest apologies.

I always want every client (and our team) to feel their very best, so it really saddens me to know you left feeling disappointed. Having our first 3-star review in three years is every salon owner’s worst nightmare, and I’d truly love the chance to look into this properly and make things right. I would like to offer a complimentary treatment also and hopefully show you that we truly wish to give you our very best care.

Any feedback that’s negative, I always hope to resolve privately — it’s so important to me to have the opportunity to put things right. Feedback, even when it’s hard to hear, is also an amazing way to keep ourselves accountable and make sure we’re always improving and avoiding client dissatisfaction. A Review like this can make such a difference to a small business.

The gel colour books. - i’m really sorry this wasn’t properly explained last time. We only have one main colour book for regular gel polish selections. The other books you may have seen are our nail art design books, which we only show to clients who have booked nail art appointments. This is simply because some of the designs require additional training or time, and we wouldn’t want to cause confusion or disappointment by showing options that aren’t available for your booking.

I completely understand how that might have been unclear at the time, and I really appreciate you raising it so we could explain.

I’m really sorry to hear you were nicked during your appointment — I know that can be uncomfortable. Even with the greatest care, nicks can sometimes happen from time to time, but we always do our very best to avoid them and make sure you’re looked after if they do occur.

Sasha is still in her first year of working in her very first salon, and we’re incredibly proud of how far she’s come. She’s actually at the very top of our review leaderboard — a reflection of how many clients love their experience with her. 💙 Every bit of feedback helps her continue to grow, and we truly appreciate you sharing yours.

If you wouldn’t mind reaching out to me directly at [email protected], I’d be so grateful for the chance to discuss this further and ensure you feel completely satisfied with the outcome.

Warm regards,
Lois💙

I was quickly and professionally welcomed and put at ease, Sasha was a very professional but caring putting me at ease. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and after treatment walked out on what felt like new feet, thank you again Sasha see you again in November.

Ive been seeing Grace for my nails for the past 10 months and have always been very happy with her friendly professional service. Sadly she is leaving and my appointment was moved to Sacha. Sacha had done my holiday nails in the summer and I had been really impressed with her service too, so I was happy to be rebooked with her.
She is friendly and did a great job of my nails yesterday. She let me try a few colours, before making a decision which colour I wanted to go for. Im really pleased with the service & my nails. I would recommend her.
