Words that describe Nails 4 You: -Clean -Cheap -Fashionable -In Zone 1 -Quality -Convenient -Has two cute dogs I got my acrylics filled, and they did a good job of it. All the varnishes were of high quality (Essie and OPI in the majority). There were three pedicure stations. I walked in at 12pm on Sunday and was seen to straightaway. During my service, several other ladies came in looking for various nail treatments and were either accommodated immediately or told they'd have a 10-15 minute wait. Not bad. I'll definitely be coming here for my infills in the future instead of schlepping it down to Tooting, as the £15 price is the same and I don't even have to pay to get out to Zone 3! read more

This is a quintessential no frills mani/pedi place. - Walk-ins totally fine - Open on Sundays - Cash only - 33 GBP for mani/pedi Normally I'd say 3-3.5 stars for a place like this but I'm rounding up to 4 for their diligent cuticle cleaning and foot scrubbing. Really, the one thing that really make or breaks a pedicure, no matter how basic or fancy, is the foot scrub. Sure, the polish should look nice and some extra massage love could bump you up a star or two, but skimpy scrubbing is the worst. I would paint my own nails at home if that's all I wanted. These ladies do a great job leaving my feet feeling baby soft... at least for the next 2 weeks or so. read more

Nail 4 You - It is surprisingly hard to photograph your own hands - Nail Salons Near Me - London, XGL

See all

I don't frequent nail bars and felt like a fish out of water here but I was very happy with my manicure which everyone commented on and thought was shillac - not bad value for £13 and lasted about 5 days before I chipped the tops of my middle fingers (the rest was still perfect). It was busy with lots of walk ins around lunchtime all accommodated. I saw the other review about cleanliness - I'll agree it's not an operating theatre but it didn't look too bad to me except how gross it was that the manicurist didn't clean off the cuticle clippers at all while he was using them - seeing your skin mount up like that makes you want to vom. While I saw no evidence this was the case at Nail 4 You, it did occur to me (as an immigration lawyer) about halfway through my manicure to wonder about everyone's immigration status. I would be very surprised if something illegal is going on at a place like this in a prominent location in central London, but if you are ever concerned you might be witnessing trafficking somewhere similar, contact a charity that helps protect its victims. read more

This is a good Salon, and open on Sunday, which many in my area are not. I thought the staff were friendly enough and the service was quick and efficient. This will be my new go to on Sunday Salon read more

Nail 4 You - Quite a nice job me thinks - Nail Salons Near Me - London, XGL

This place has moved and is now located on Osborne St, around the corner. The proof of any gel/ shellac manicure, in my opinion, is how long it lasts so I hope to update my review after a few weeks. For now I can say that the service was average, and cold, I barely felt welcome - in fact more of an inconvenience due (I assume) to my late in the day walk-in appointment. The manicure looks fine and the selection of colours is significant. But, if you're looking for any kind of pampering then maybe skip this place as the hand massage was barely more than a brush across my hands and I was in and out in 30 minutes top **nails started chipping within 2 weeks which is about as long as most places will say they should last but I'm used to getting more like 4 weeks out of a mani.** read more

Have been going to this salon for 4 years now for acrylic nails and pedicures. Would highly recommend. I like the attention to detail that Ha, the proprietor, pays. She will always keep me coming back. The rest of the staff is great, too! Can get quite busy on weekends so it's worth making an appointment if you are too tight on time, otherwise, they almost always accept walk-ins. read more

I'm writing this with the top part of my fingertips burnt off my the electrical nail file. The nail technician removed my current acrylic nail but pressed to hard and shaved the top layer of skin off. Apparently it's my fault because I wanted my nails so short. Things got worse as the technician kept falling asleep while attempting to do my nails. Maybe it was the heat, as there were only 2 fans, which hardly helped. I was stuck to my seat and unable to move as my nails were being attacked. Not a fun experience. I wont be returning anytime soon... read more

I took a half day yesterday and did the following: Eyelashes: Lash Lab Yoga: Frame Brow Wax: Hoxton Salon Yeahhhh -- Housewife if Shoreditch up in here. Kidding. Kidding. So what's left? Gotta get these nails did. Ever since the abrupt (and hopefully temporary!) closing of my beloved City Nails on Curtain Road, my nails have been in a bad state. I don't know where to go! What to do! And my nails were looking baaaaaad. Anyone that knows me and my yelping adventures knows I probably have more nail salon reviews than bars. It's true. I need my nails looking sharp -- not feeling sharp. I mentioned my woes to Kym at Lash Lab (brilliant, btw) and she suggested I toddle down to Nails 4 You to get fixed up. Old school recommendation right there, folks! So I did. And I am pleased. It's a typical cheapie nail salon (manicure = 13 quid) with decor to match. No frills, but they get the job done. I was taken immediately and my nails whipped into shape. No muss, no fuss...and the OPI and essie color ranges are average, pretty good. The staff is very sweet, too. Or, they pretend to be. Either way -- it works for me. *very close to Aldgate station *cash only. *2 dogs on site. Cute. *appointments accepted. Its not the poshest pedicure pop -- but it'll do in a pinch and gets the job done for far less than other places. I'll make it a regular rotation until CIty Nails comes back! (please come back, City Nails). read more

Pros: -Quick service -Right by station stop -Various services available Cons: -Unclean We were attended to immediately as soon as we came in for 2 manicures and pedicures. Now, I must preface this by saying that everyone's standards of cleanliness apparently vary and my OCD-fungus-fearing-experienced-in-the-health-regulations-field bootay is going to be EXTRA cautious. 1) The towel she used looked old and was stained. 2) They used latex gloves, good. 3) Tools did NOT come from a pre-sealed sanitized pack but were sitting in the caddy (previous sanitation unknown) 4) Used callous razor on feet without asking. But at least the blade was a fresh one she just opened 5) Pedicure was very minimalist and average products used 6) Be aware, that there are 2 dogs present at all times (friendly, but there) 7) Pedicure tub was NOT cleaned properly or sanitized after my friend and I were done. Following customers were walked right into the same tub! 8) Hand and feet fans were dirty and the girl used a magazine to cover one that she grabbed from the floor for me to put my hands on it. Ladies (and perhaps gentlemen), remember we are paying for a service and we shouldn't settle for mediocrity or much less a potential foot fungus. Therefore, please go somewhere clean, kind, attentive, and ready to give you the hottest mani/pedi ever because they care (and value their reputation) Oh, and the 1 star is for my girl's eyebrows looking fantastic. read more

Nail 4 You - Salon Shot - Nail Salons Near Me - London, XGL

Considered giving it a two star rating as the final result is acceptable but I just can't get over the experience I had. So after picking a colour they just left me standing there for a while without telling me what to do. (shop almost empty). I walked to the firs station asked the young lady if i should sit here, she mumbled a yes or something while talking on the phone. After waiting for about 5-10 minutes she started working on my nails (still talking on the phone). After ending the phone call I was hoping she might focus on my nail but she just started watching a movie on her phone while doing my gel nail extensions. I had 3 of my nails filed with a bit of an angle on the side and she fixed it by shortening them (I wanted them longer). Now only one still has a weird shape. I never knew cuticles could hurt so much even after I left the shop. I was bleeding a little bit from one because she cut it too far and let's not even mention how panful it was when she was pushing them back with her long nails. The amount of old cuticles all over the clipper made me want to leave at some point and so did the stained towel. At least she somehow managed to paint them well except for one or two mistakes, she was still watching the movie after all. So my dear ladies, I will be trying a different place next time and I suggest you do too. :) read more

Easy booking and reasonable prices. I've only had a file and polish here but the Pedicures look great too! Wide variety of colours to choose from. Definitely recommended. read more

I think 75£ for a shellac manicure and pedicure it's outrageous. I think they like to take advantage of the tourists that don't speak much English trying to oversell us. The work they did it's not worth what they charged me. I'm never coming back there. read more

This place is bad and dirty!!! I brought my gf here for her nail done on Friday this week. The place it self is dirty. The chairs are so dirty I went and sat down in the street. That looked cleaner. I am ok with ghetto places . I grew up in East London, but this is just really bad. The service was maybe a 2 star, but the place sucked so much that I needed to review this and I actually wanted to give it negative stars, but I cant read more

I have been coming to Nails 4 U for over a year and have had fantastic pedicures and waxing from all of the girls that work here. They are all so nice and professional and it is a pleasure to come here. The place is very clean and well maintained, highly recommend! read more

Went there on a Sunday. Was very clean and the staff was very sufficient. Pleasant little salon and great prices. Will definitely be going back . Charming small dog too. read more

You can receive professional manicure at a good price here. I`m glad with the service.

Apparently bad experience here with unfriendly staff with patronizing and dismissive attitude. Cut my finger without apology. Never be back for sure! read more

Very unfriendly staff. I live very close but would rather go to a place farther away than back. I went in for a new set of acrylic nails. She cut my finger several times, when I said something about it I got a very rude response. Conclusion: low-quality nails, 25 pounds wasted, painful and unfriendly. Be warned. read more

I would honestly give this place no stars if I could. I had aclyrics done here, I have had them done before but not at this nail salon so I thought I'd give it a try. When you walk in, you are told to pick a colour and sit down, however in this tiny shop there is no place to actually sit and wait and you find yourself lingering around awkwardly. Every customer that came in obviously also felt the same way. I was told to take a seat at a station when three different people started juggling with my nails, therefore lacking concentration to my requirements. One woman doing my nails was on the phone whilst filing my nails.. After my nails were finished, I noticed the fake nail wasn't stuck on my nails making it prone for dirt to get stuck above my real nail and underneath my fake nail. The nails were different lengths and shapes. When I went back after 3 days to sort the problem, I was told it was my fault that I didn't ask for the nail to by stuck on my whole nail. This shocked me. What made it worse is a woman behind me - a customer - started to talk abusively towards me because of my confrontation with the nail technician.. Even though I had stayed calm throughout. Their towels are stained and if your allergic to dogs, this place is not friendly at all. read more

Excellent walk-in service. I turned up, sadly at a bit of a busy time, but I had nothing planned so I waited for 20 minutes to be promptly served. My gel manicure was wonderful and she even advised me on the colour to use. Quick, efficient and cash only! read more

Great salon! I'm from New York am living in London for a few months and have been looking for a good nail salon. They did a fantastic job and were very nice! Prices were decent for London. Ask for Q! read more

Do not waste your time having a Hollywood wax here. Even if last minute. There is rarely a waiting time for a wax , which seems convenient, but is a sign. I had an awful wax last week. The wax had been on when i entered, and was too hot when they used it, as if it had been on all day. They waxed completely wrong, pulling against the direction of hair, which you do to shave and defiantly NOT wax. Now I'm going to have more ingrowing hairs than normal to look forward to as well as hair in a couple of days as oppose weeks, because that's what happens when a wax is performed like so. I really regret going, I'm so disappointed and burnt, literally, I have a scab to prove it. Terrible experience and a total waste of money read more

Rude and overpriced Recently went for a shellac mani-pedi, walked out insulted, injured and 70 quid lighter. To start with the nail technician wanted to make a point about the fact that I'd painted my toenails myself previously - I'd not done a great job as I was in a rush, but not sure what her intention of announcing this to the whole shop was apart from trying to embarrass me - unnecessary! Then, whilst giving me my pedicure she took a massive chunk out of my heel using the peeler thing, and then proceeded to blame it on me saying by saying my heels were too dry. She managed to do the other foot without slicing a chunk of my heel off so not sure why the second foot was a problem. If they were too dry I doubt she would have been able to cut me the way she did. I then had to ask for a plaster myself. Not long after leaving the salon my heel started bleeding profusely. I would have gone back but I was too far up the road to be bothered to return. They still had the nerve to charge me the full 70 pounds for my trouble. If they had have apologized and dealt with the situation better then I wouldn't have minded - mistakes happen, but I won't be going back here again. read more
