Lovely salon and all the staff are friendly. The other day I had shellac on my hands by Andrea, very pleased! Shellac normally lasts up to 3 weeks for me without chipping so it’s a total lifesaver

Had a spray tan and nails with Laura ready for a wedding this wedding. As always, Laura worked her magic on my nails and they looked amazing. Was a little worried if I'd look silly having a spray tan this time of year but just wanted a bit of colour. Laura chose the exact right colour I was after and looked perfect on the day! Thank you Laura! X
