Yesterday I visited and had Destiny do my colour and it turned out perfect! It's normally Becca and it's also perfect when she does it! But I'd like to review Kailey, she does everything to such a high standard with an attention to detail thats really impressive! I really appreciate that as I'm quite detail oriented when it comes to hair etc! Anyway, I appreciate it and always enjoy my time here. They're fabulous with blondes and don't ever do anything that will lead to issues for you, which is calming!

Second time I had my nails done here and I couldn’t be happier. Both Maddie and Paige have been so professional and the manicure has lasted a long time. Also very nice salon and relaxed atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back.

Manicure FAQs
There are a number of different kinds of manicures available including basic (nail polish), gel, Shellac, acrylic, dip powder, French, reverse French, American, Russian, paraffin, and hot stone
Yes, absolutely. In fact, it’s common, particularly for those using regular nail polish or gel. If you’d like to give it a try, there are various different kits and pieces of equipment available to buy, but we always recommend having a manicure done by a professional to ensure you get the results you want.
It depends on the type of manicure you get. You should allow around 30 minutes for a basic manicure that uses standard nail polish; shellac and gel nail manicures take up to 45 minutes; and acrylic nail manicures take around 90 minutes.
It greatly depends on the type of manicure you go for. Some nail technicians suggest having a manicure once a week, however Shellac, dip powder, acrylic, and gel manicures can last a lot longer. You can leave 2-3 weeks before getting your gel or Shellac manicures filled or redone; wait 3-6 weeks between dip powder manicures; and leave 6-8 weeks before having your acrylic nail manicure redone. If in doubt, ask your technician.
Yes. Some types of manicures do carry risks. Cuticles could be infected if they are cut, and you could suffer with dry, weak, or brittle nails if your polish isn’t correctly removed. Ask your nail technician to talk you through the risks before you book your appointment.
The cost of manicures varies depending on the type you go for; however in Forth, you are likely to pay around £25 for a manicure.
If you like soft hands and beautiful nails, you’ll love getting a manicure. Regular manicures can be very relaxing; they help prevent fungal nail infections and leave your nails looking polished and pristine.
