I have visited Shoba twice now at The Beauty Hut in Nayland and each time I had a lovely, friendly and very professional experience. Shoba puts you at ease. She is very conscientious in making sure she does an excellent job in looking after your nails and I was so pleased with my perfect manicure and painted nails. Thank you! Looking forward to my next visit 👍🏻☺️

Shoba does a fab job on my nails, I have BIAB and they last for weeks without any lifting, despite my nails not being in the best condition as a previous nail biter!! Definitely recommend.
