Best Nail Salons near me in Prettygate, Colchester

Alina is the best nail technician by far in Colchester. I recommend her by all means and I don't go to anyone else. The shaping of the nails is perfect every time, her gel technique is amazing and her guidance is super professional. The service is also great in the salon- coffee and tea are offered, no chemical smell (like in other nail salons) and kind staff.

A jewel in the heart of Prettygate, staff are professional, friendly and kind. My nails look better than they have done for ages- what a morale boost! And there's aircon... highly recommended.

After having acrylic extensions my nails needed some serious TLC, Becca worked her magic with builder gel and my natural nail is stronger than ever! I wanted the prefect natural nude colour for work and it was no trouble for Becca she nailed it! The loveliest lady always a real treat visiting for a manicure and always looking forward to my next appointment.

3 weeks since my last appointment with Becca and honestly my nails still looked as amazing as they did 3 weeks ago. Since having BIAB the natural nail growth is insane, healthy and so strong which is unheard of for me. I'm constantly getting compliments on my nails as Becca smashes the brief every time! I must give a special shout out to Luke this evening for providing the refreshments cause boy he knows how to make a good cup of tea and even treated us to a bit of cake too! Will definitely be returning based on the quality of the tea alone 👏🏻

Normally a classic nude girl and always too nervous to try a colour or even nail art. But after seeing Beccas work on Instagram I got the itch for holiday nails. My go to holiday cocktail is a margarita so it was only right to go all out and create something to reflect that. Becca came through and created the best holiday nails I've ever had which attracted so much attention! 🍸

I love coming to Katie for my nails. She’s chatty and makes you comfortable. She is able to accommodate all my nail ideas and does an amazing job. My nails last at least three weeks if not longer. I’m normally bored of them before they look shabby

loveddd my nails, so happy i tried this place. better than when i asked for. very kind service and they make sure you happy with everything. cute shop too. definitely the best in colchester

Defo my new go to place in Colchester x ! They don’t throw a fit when you want to change something - always happy to make sure you’re happy

Service is top in colchester, salon is beautiful and really lovely staff

Maria is the only person I’ve ever trusted with my hair. She’s incredibly experienced with all hair types including curly and Afro hair and consistently delivers the best balayage results. Whether you’re looking for something subtle or bold she can achieve it. She’s the best hairdresser in Colchester!

Absolutely love Zoe - been going to her for a few years now and still always leave feeling like a new person! I genuinely really look forward to our appointments as not only is she incredibly skilled and knowledgable with an excellent eye for detail but also lovely company ☺️ her new salon is beautiful, peaceful and immaculate too, and is easy to get to by bus from Colchester town centre. Highly recommend!

I was looking for a hairdressers, as I have only recently moved to Colchester. I walked in on the off chance and I cannot say how pleased I did. Mary styled my hair exactly as I requested, and a few days later I went back for a perm not curly but for the body. I was extremely happy with the results, I will definitely recommend and will be going back.

This is a lovely place that I found whilst I was trying to find my forever place. I had the luxury manicure and it was fantastic. Had a paraffin wax, cuticle work and massage done. My hands look so much better. The place is clean and well kept. You get to have your own nail file with your name written on it. Elizabeth is very professional and knows what she’s doing. She looked at my nails and explained what she was going to do. Besides, she advised me on one of my nails which has a line on it that makes it split. I booked my next appointment already and can’t wait to go back.

Been having my nails done with Amy for a few years now and would never go anywhere else. She makes me feel comfortable and my nails are always looking on point. The best nail tech in the world xxx

I’ve been to Sunday Nail Club a few times now to get my nails done and I have had an absolutely amazing experience each time! I cannot recommend it enough, she is so kind and professional, she makes sure I am happy with my nails every step of the process and is so accommodating with regards to the nail designs I like and helps design the perfect set! Undeniably a 10 out of 10!

Started my builder gel journey today to grow my natural nails!! Always been a frenchie acrylic girl but had my first nail art on natural nails today and I’m obsessed! Thankyou so much xxx

Very nice place to sit and have a relaxing manicure. Felt procedure was very professional Came away with very glossy neat nails

Honestly one of the best experiences I have had with a nail tech!!! Amazing service, really friendly and felt so comfortable! Talked me through the whole process and made sure I was happy every step of the way!! Will 100% be booking in again. Very happy with the service and absolutely love my nails 💞💞💞

Great service, I wouldn’t go anywhere else, well I couldn’t even if I wanted to, as we work together so that probably wouldn’t go down well. But jokes aside Amy is the best nail tech, my nails have never not lasted only when I nibble them off and she tells me off. 10/10 i recommend all my clients and friends to her

Liz takes great care of my nails everytime I'm there. She removes my BIAB without causing any damages to my natural nails. This is a big plus for me as I've had bad experiences from previous nail salons where they hack into my nails with the machine. What keeps me coming back is not just the beautiful nails I walk away with, but the friendly chats and uplifting energy the place has. Just had my BIAB removed and having couple of IBX treatments before going back to BIAB. These ladies get booked up fast though, so book well in advance. Looking forward to my next appointment/catch up with Liz!!!

Another set completed by Caitlin. I cannot believe how healthy my nails look since we started my natural nail journey in June. 😊
