One thing we liked about Beauty and Bubbles’ nail services is that they offer a wide variety. Whether it’s a simple polish or acrylic extensions, you’ll find what you’re looking for here. They can even add a glitter or chrome finish or remove any nail polish!

A lot of their previous clients have also said that the finished work looks beautiful. No matter what brand they chose, they felt confident showing off their tips—a good sign for us!

We also appreciate their convenient schedule, as they’re open every day. It also helps that their staff are a warm and friendly bunch, which can help you feel relaxed if you decide to try them out.

Do take note, though, their work is beautiful but tends to chip off. Previous customers have talked about how while the nail finish looks gorgeous, there’s no guarantee that it’ll last long. 

We’re also a bit iffy about their health and safety standards, with instances of skin getting scratched or rubbed off while getting treatment. Overall, they’re a good service with lots to offer, but with minor issues to take into consideration.

Very impressed

“My girlfriend and I have been very impressed with our monthly treatments particularly done by Jahnayah, Shannon, Tia and Ndege who do a fabulous job as always. I would like to also say thank you to the rest of the team for being so kind and friendly and making us feel very welcome coming into the salon including Bells the receptionist. :)”

Relaxing and great salon

“I really enjoyed getting my shellac toes and biab hands, on two separate appointments. The girls were lovely, really welcoming (Lilly and Jahnayah) and my biab been on my hands 3 weeks and still looks great. [I’ve] booked my infill :). It is a really relaxing salon.”

If you’re looking for a nail salon that’s open everyday, then Nails by Yulia Hamilton might be a good choice. They also offer various services, from polishing and trimming nails to removing and reapplying polish. 

Additionally, they can do both simple and detailed treatments. You can request simple nail art or a full hand treatment for extra pampering. From what we’ve seen, no matter which treatment they got, customers were happy with the outcome.

Nails by Yulia Hamilton also has good hygiene standards, keeping the salon tidy while handling their clients’ nails meticulously.

That said, we think they could do with a better and longer-lasting nail polish. Previous customers have bemoaned a beautiful nail job getting ruined a day after they visit the salon.

We’re also iffy about the staff’s tendency to miscommunicate with customers, particularly regarding payment or cancellations, so we they could improve on that aspect for an overall fantastic experience.

Will definitely be back

“Alexandra was amazing! Best cuticle work I’ve ever had! She was lovely to speak with and ensured I was comfortable the whole time! I LOVE how my nails turned out! Will definitely be back when I’m next in Manchester!!”

Fabulously clean

“Alexandra was amazing- I was a little nervous for my cuticles to be trimmed but she was a magician and my nails look fabulous. Very professional and all equipment meticulously clean.”

Queen Nails and Beauty can be a good choice for those who want a nail salon that’s open everyday and has lots of options to choose from. They offer nail infills, pedicures, manicures, and they can even do acrylic extensions. 

As for the kinds of polish they have available, they have both gel and biab polish that you can choose from. You can even get your nails buffed, trimmed, or even smoothed out! 

The quality of their work is commendable. The nail jobs don’t chip easily and can last long, and it helps that the technicians keep a clean salon and are serious on hygiene.

It was just a letdown to see that their nail jobs could look aesthetically better. And despite that, their services are on the pricier end. 

It also looked like the technicians lacked experience with nail care and treatments. While they were a friendly bunch, they seemed unsure of what they were doing, which sometimes results in a disappointing outcome from an otherwise decent job.

Wonderful shop and friendly staff

“Absolutely wonderful shop Friendly clean had such [a] lovely experience being a salon owner my self I cannot rate this salon more Julie is a fantastic lovely lady and should be extremely proud of her shop and business she has made for her self. Her staff are a complete asset to her and are funny friendly and lovely to have had the pleasure to have met you all !! Next time I’m back in Manchester I’ll be back to see you all again”

One thing we appreciate in any nail salon that we’re looking for is good hygiene, coupled with a good look for the nails after the job’s done. Lilly Nail and Beauty manages to achieve both of those.

Stepping into their salon for a nail dip, we were impressed by their neat facilities. We especially appreciated it when we saw that this extends to their work too—they keep nails looking fresh without hurting their clients!

As for the nail treatments, the end result looks rather beautiful without being garish. Be it a dipping gel or a biab, nails were left looking pretty and neat afterwards!

Sadly, their services are rather limited, as they only do extensions, polish, and pedicures. You’re out of luck if you’re looking to get something other than those services. 

Aside from that, they also tend to use cheaper products for their nail services. So the nail job can chip fairly easily-–a letdown for an otherwise decent salon.

Elegant nails 

“Every time  I come here I am never disappointed. From birthday nail designs to elegant nails – even when I need a “red reset” lol. Demi and Katie are amazing nail techs. I also get my brows done with immaculate precision here. They make you feel welcome and aim to make sure you love your set – what ever you decide to try. I really enjoy coming here! Love my Frenchies today🥰🥰🥰”

Thorough and friendly technician

“Patty did a bikini wax and dip nails for me. She was very friendly and funny. It was my first wax and she made me feel comfortable. She was very thorough with my nail care and they look lovely.”

ACE Nails on Piccadilly House caught our attention because of their budget-friendly price. When we checked them out, we were glad to see that the cheaper rates don’t translate to a lack of quality and beauty in their work. 

Another plus is that they have numerous services available, from infills and simple removals to even a full nail repair. 

Lots of previous customers had been more than satisfied with the nail art that they sported after a visit to ACE Nails. And, from what we also gathered from our surveys, their nail jobs are long-lasting too.

We’re just iffy about their hygiene practices, since we didn’t see them properly sanitise their tools. We hope it was a one-time thing that we only chanced upon, though.

We also wish that the staff would be more welcoming and more responsive to inquiries.  If not for those two issues, they’d be a good choice for a nail salon. 

Definitely going back

“Very sound owners and beautiful nails!! Will definitely go back 🫶🏼🥰”

Great work

“So so great. I came to them after I had my nails done at another place and I was pretty unhappy with them. They booked me in for as soon as they could and were kind enough to book it so it wouldn’t be super expensive for me. They did great work and I am sooo happy with my nails, will definitely come back. They are both lovely!”
