Best Manicures near me in Portobello/Craigmillar, Edinburgh

Tessa was amazing! So methodical and great attention to detail while also consistently checking in about pressure level and my general preferences. This is seriously the best manicure I have ever received and it was the relaxing, warm environment made it all the better. The shape/color of my nails are spot on and exactly what I wanted. Sadly I don’t live in Edinburgh currently, but if I did, I would get my nails done by Tessa exclusively. Thank you for a wonderful experience and good luck with the rest of your training!

Holly was perfect, really neat and classy manicure today. The salon was a bit cold, but Edinburgh weather does not help much :)

Incredible! Magda is very talented and is the best nail technician I have been to in Edinburgh! Her design work is detailed and gorgeous. She is also very friendly and we have great conversation. It is clear she loves her job and is very good at what she does. I would highly recommend this salon and especially Magda she is amazing!!!

Buff is by far the best nail salon in Edinburgh. I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else! I most regularly go to Ana and Holly, who are amazing, but chop and change appointments a lot and have never been disappointed with my nails, whoever does them. I strongly recommend Buff!

Buff is the best nail salon in Edinburgh. I have to chop and change appointments a lot and every nail technician is fantastic. Also gorgeously designed spaces at both branches. Strongly recommend.

Absolutely loved getting my manicure from Abby today! There is not a single person at CBD that I wouldn’t see for any services. Today I went simple with one colour and I haven’t done that in ages but it feels so bright and fresh. Another 10/10 experience

Amy is an absolute master! I’m extremely pleased with the service, and my nails look gorgeous- even though it was just a basic manicure.

First time and what a lovely place. Felt so welcoming when I arrived. I was never one to get my nails done as I was a biter but started to grow them so treated myself to a Gel Manicure and I love them. I will definitely be back. Thankyou so much Emma Tweed.
