I thoroughly enjoyed my relaxing pedicure. Amy and her colleagues were so friendly (this was my first time at Coleshill salon). Amy pampered and massaged my feet then expertly painted my nails and although Coleshill don't have the pedicure sinks like Castle Bromwich salon, the foot spa was lovely. All in all the whole experience was great and I will certainly be back! Thank you!
