Decided on a French manicure and brow tint today from Roisin and wasn't disappointed. Is there nothing she can't do...Roisin has always made me feel welcome. Salon was immaculate and a lovely friendly atmosphere surrounded it. Next visit a massage.

I’ve always loved getting my nails done here but today was even better than normal, Inez has such attention to detail. It’s as though she’s doing her own nails. If she isn’t happy with something she does it again so it’s perfect. After moving up north it’s great to have finally found a place I enjoy spending my money and feel like they care about the results. Thank you all!

The whole experience was wonderful, from booking to leaving. Very professional.
My treatment was lovely, felt very thorough, relaxing and luxurious products. A very good balance of feeling relaxed but also that it was effective.
I would highly recommend.
4 stars instead of 5 for value since price had gone up since I had planned to come in, but this is totally understandable.
(Aplologies I can't remember my therapists name but she was fab)
