I have been going to Nina for over 10 years now for my nails, it’s my safe haven! I have an hour chilling whist Nina perfects my nails, her salon is beautifully clean, modern and comfortable. Everyone needs a ‘Nina’ if they are looking for a high quality, professional and perfect beauty therapist. Nina not only looks after my nails, I have had spray tan, lashes, brow wax, I wouldn’t go anywhere else Nina is the best.

Nina has been doing my nails and other treatments for many years and she is fantastic at all the treatments I have had. She is very professional and will advise on maintenance etc and I am always happy with what she does. She makes the appointment an enjoyable experience with the friendly fun chat and I would highly recommend her.
