topdog   10 #1 Posted May 4, 2011 I would like some recommendations for a good place to have a manicure, most threads seem to be about nail extensions whereas I would like to sort out my fairly neglected natural nails out! I had a few very bad experiences with salons in the past (badly filed nails; awful paint jobs that a small child could have done better... you name it!) so would be very wary of parting with my cash without having some good feedback to be sure they wouldn't mess things up. I'd really just like a good pampering for my nails, some advice on shaping them (important!) and a (neat!) coat of polish - hopefully not too much to ask for:) Doesn't have to be silly cheap as I feel like a treat before some serious money saving I'll have to do in the next few months:)  Good areas for me would be centre, S10, S11, S8..  Many thanks!

weenireeni   10 #5 Posted May 9, 2011 i've been to Mint at Meadowhall and they were fab. I had a manicure there for my wedding and the polish lasted 3 weeks with hardly a chip - and that included safari adventure on honeymoon! not the cheapest out there, but they take their time and my nails felt stronger  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

My nails were unevenly filed, it felt like they weren't interested if you didn't want false nails. For the money I spent I could have done a much better job myself (had to re-do it afterwards and I'm no expert!)  I too would like to know of somewhere to go to have my own nails done - a traditional manicure not all this new nail art/extentions/gell etc stuff.

Maybe if you can remember/know the nail technician's name who did yours you could PM the OP? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
*Hipster* Â Â 10 #9 Posted May 10, 2011 Anyone free to do my nails before Saturday please?? Just a manicure and polish on my natural nails (and a tidying up of my hideous cuticles and bitten skin!!) Â Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
