After getting a quick manicure from Sacha at the Yelp Links of London event I knew I needed to pay…read moreher a visit again! I love doing my nails myself and grow bored of my manicures quickly so I tend not to pay to get them done, but I'm no nail technician! My nails were in such a bad state shape-wise and I really needed to see a professional to sort the situation out! You can book in with Sacha via email and she works out of the Toni Cook salon. When I visited it was in their old location in Merchant City, but she informed me that they were in the process of moving to a swanky new salon just off Buchanan Street (above The Lab, where they are currently situated). I booked in about 2 weeks before my desired appointment time and I would recommend booking early as she's a busy little bee and appointments go quickly! I opted to go for a gel polish on my own nails rather than false acrylic nails. While I waited my turn in the salon I got a little nail wheel to browse the colours. There's a lot to choose from, lots of nice pastel-y colours and lovely dark vampy colours, as well as some sparkly numbers! I didn't really know what sort of design or look I wanted so Sacha suggested a few looks to me and I ended up going for a V design on some accent nails in alternating colours. I was getting my nails done specifically for my friends wedding and had a picture of my dress with me and Sacha helped me pick out some colours that matched well. Sacha was very professional and chatty during my manicure. She remembered me from the Yelp event which was really nice! I felt very relaxed while I was there and it seemed like my manicure flew in! I've been to some really standoffish nail techs in the past and have been entirely ignored while I've had my nails done, so I appreciate when someone can hold a conversation and still deliver an A+ manicure! I loved my nails when there were done and after 2 weeks they're still looking as good! My manicure came in at £25 which I think is pretty good considering how long it'll last. You can pay with cash or via paypal, card payments are also accepted but require a £1 service fee. Gel polish removal comes in at £4 which is nothing if you don't want to wreck your nails doing it yourself!! I've already booked in for my next manicure! I'd really recommend Sacha if you're looking to get your nails done, she does a banging manicure, she's super nice and her wee dog (who is really well behaved and comes to work with her) is so cute!! :)

Haven't gotten a manicure since I moved to Glasgow methinks so I thought, what better way to treat…read moremy nails than for a special occasion like Christmas? :) I made my booking with Sacha like a month+ in advance because I know she's busy, especially during the festive seasons. Lucky for my efficiency, I got a spot, and told her I wanted gel nails! I remember Queen B getting em and they lasted forever! Perfect, since I'll be away from Glasgow for 3 weeks! Anyway, I easily found the salon via Yelp, headed through the alley and up the stairs. To my pleasant surprise, was greeted by Sacha's wee chihuahua. He cuddled me while I waited for Sacha to be done with the previous client. What a good way to keep me occupied! Haha So, Sacha is a wonderful manicurist. She uses a brand of polish from the UK (I don't remember the name unfortunately. Artist polish? Something like that) and says she insists on only using those because of its high quality. I appreciate her sincerity! And the nail polish is after all, super nice! She's also very welcoming, friendly and open to trying fun artsy things in your nails. "Open to experiments" she says! :) she uses an LED nail dryer thinggy that makes your gel nails set asap and that's like super amazing to me haha no more wrecked nails! Anyway I love my nails! I have candy canes and a wee Christmas pudding on my ring fingers! The salon is spacious. Sacha is amazing and bubbly! Will definitely go back next year for a touch up or some new nail art hehehe Highly recommend!

I should have walked out when the Nail tech cut my cuticles three times during filing. I was bleeding and no antiseptic was offered. Used the same bloody tissue to clean an edge of a nail. All the tools and surfaces are not cleaned between clients - remember I bled so how many other clients have been cut with those same tools Hepatitis B risk!!. The nail tech does not wash his hands between clients. The acrylic application was uneven and misshaped. Had to ask twice for the correct colour to be used. They need to close or do some serious re-training. I do not understand how this "business" remains open for this poor work and service. I had to get the colour completely redone at Juli's next door.

Everyone is so friendly and attentive and the surroundings are suitably classy exuding chill- inducing vibes that make you feel special, which is exactly what you want from a spa. Looking forward to a return visit to enjoy the complete spa experience. There are frequent special offers.

I chose a classic french manicure - and I really can't complai (I'd only been once before with my sister, watching her get her nails done). The girl definitely knew what she was doing, so I was happy, and my nails looked fab at the end of it. The only downfall? Her chat. It varied from annoying chat about holidaying in Magaluf, to none at all/awkward silence. Oh well, you can't get everything in life though, can you?

Having lived in Dubai, I'm slightly picky when it comes to threading, and view it as an ancient Indian art. As a teenager, I was fascinated watching the ladies in the salons doing it, with so much ease! Al-Aishas reminds me of the salons back home, Hindi/Arabic music playing, a huge queue of people waiting to get there brows threaded. The treatment itself took about 10 minutes, which is completely normal. The lady both threaded my eyebrows and plucked the pesky hairs!.\ After the threading you get a tiny eyebrow massage as they work in the aloe-vera gel to cool your eyebrows. The main reason I will be going back here, the threading done was excellent and the price was as it should be. £5 for eyebrows, none of this £10+ seen in other salons. If you don't mind waiting and having a no frills treatment, I could not recommend here more!

Ok I have to update my review from 11 years ago(!) - just for fun…read more I've been having my hair cut by Meg since... 2009 I think? I've been getting my hair cut at Rainbow Room salons since about 2005, though. I moved away in 2016, but Meg is still there and I still stop in whenever I'm in Glasgow because she just knows how to work with my hair better than anyone else. The salon has been remodeled recently and it looks fantastic. It's really modern, super bright, and they've made great use of the space. You still get a great view of George Square, too. The stylists seem to enjoy how functional it all is. Now that they have reopened they've continued to have strict protocols - minimising contact, spacing out appointments, and requiring masks. So much has changed, and so little. They still take the time to sit down and get to know their clients, consult on what they're looking for, and include some little luxury extras like a head massage before they wash your hair. They use good products and tools. My hair always looks and feels great once Meg is done with it. She also takes into account how it will grow out. Honestly, I usually leave thinking it's a bit short, but then 2-4 weeks later it sits exactly how I had hoped. With other hairdressers I often find I have split ends after a few weeks, but my most recent cut still looks great 6 weeks on and I'm still getting compliments on it. If you're looking for a hair salon in Glasgow, look no further.
