Nobody hurries you here.
The thing reviewers come back to is the pace. A relaxed salon run by Vanessa and her husband, where your set gets the time it needs and you get to enjoy it.
“You definitely get a nice relaxing experience in the shop unlike some salons who are rushing in lots of people at a time.”
“a more natural feeling acrylics without a thick coating and without the fumes and sardine feel you get elsewhere”
“Every care taken with my nails and by far the best set I have ever had.”
Write my text for me.
The salon asks people to text rather than ring. Pick what you'd like and when, and this writes a clear booking text you can open on your phone, change if you like, and send.

Good to know
Why text rather than ring?
The salon's own Google listing says "please text on mobile", so a text to 07746 253571 is the best way to book. It can be answered between appointments. If you're hoping for a time today, you can ring as well.
Can I send a picture of what I want?
Yes. One regular sent over what she wanted before her second set of acrylics and says the work didn't disappoint. Add the picture to your text.
How much does it cost?
There's no price list online yet, so ask in your text what you'd like and they'll tell you. One reviewer who has tried many salons says it's not the cheapest, but you get quality and care.
Can two of us come together?
Yes. A mum and daughter booked in together for a birthday and said it was easy to book for both of them. Say in your text how many of you there are and what you'd each like.
Will I feel rushed?
Reviewers say the opposite: a relaxed salon that doesn't rush lots of people in at a time, and every care taken over your nails. Tell them if it's your first visit.
Do you give aftercare advice?
Reviewers describe Vanessa as informative about nails and aftercare, so ask how to look after your set before you leave.
Your next set is one text away.
