Sadly this was the worst shellac manicure I've ever had - some nails were lumpy and thick, some didn't cover the whole nail bed, and it started to chip after 3 days (mine usually last for 3 weeks). The technician was really lovely so I do feel bad but I would never go back here for nails ever.
I went in just a few hours before. They really took the time to help me with my hair, choose a style, consider options, and the cut itself was a great success. It wasn't quick, but I wasn't in a hurry, either. I definitely recommend them if you like me want some good advice and aren't just looking for a quick trim.
The salon is so central, literally just across the road from Waterloo. The nail technician is so lovely and chatty. My nails were in a bit of a state but she really sorted them out and I will definetely be returning to have a take off and re-do when these grow out!
