This is my second visit to this salon after being recommended by my boss. I fancied a design I’d seen online for gel nails this time and Serena did them perfectly. I Wish I could upload a photo!

Serena has done my nails twice now and she has always taken time and care and I’ve been really chuffed each time I’ve come. I would highly recommend Transitions to everyone. Reasonable prices and really high quality work xx
