Sarah was brilliant today. I explained that one of my nails had been badly bruised’, due to trauma 12 weeks ago. As a result I am losing my old nail & a new nail is regrowing.
I am going on holiday & wanted shellac but had thought I wouldn’t be able to have Shellac on the damaged nail. Sarah was very good & reassured me that I could have Shellac on all of my nails. Sarah evened off my offending nail to prepare it for Shellac.
Thank you Sarah, I really appreciated your reassurance & guidance. ?

Appointment verified by SaloniQ Software

For the price of £92 the meni and pedi was really unsatisfactory
The manicure was a soak in the cold water where no scrub was given nor the cuticles were removed only a five minute massage was given with the application of the nailpaint
Same with the pedicure it was just a soak and scrub
Same with the toenails no cuticle were removed and the dead skin was also not removed.
Very bad experience
