Was meaning to write a review for a while but kept forgetting. Worse experience I have ever had with nail salons. They cut me with a machine on several place and when I pointed that out the response was "it's not bleeding so how is this a cut?" later my cuticles bruised and were really sensitive to touch. I walked out half way through the appointment as I couldn't stand the rude attitude and the incompetent staff. read more

Had my eyebrows done here after a recommendation from a fellow Yelper. I wanted a tint and threading and they could fit me in right then and there so convenience was a big bonus! And all in for £14 so woop! As other people have pointed out, it's not the height of luxury. It's large, has many ladies working and has a really good range of treatments available. The girl threading my brows was super gentle and took her time to het the shape she wanted. It was the least painful threading I've ever had in my life, but probably the slowest - comparing 5 minutes to about 7 minutes though, so no big deal. The colour is nice, she went for a brown to match the darker bits of my hair and it's striking to me but not all that noticeable to anyone else - maybe my mother if she was about? The only criticism I have is that the lady threaded and then tinted. This is a big no-no with my skin as it's quite sensitive so I've been sporting a lovely under-brow spot all week. There's a £10 minimum on cards and threading alone is £6 so bring cash. read more

A couple of friends recommended this place to me, it's close to my house and I often walk past on my way to work. I firstly did what anyone would do, I sent my mum! She had her nails done before a wedding and came back with praises. So this Saturday, I headed with a friend for a massage and shellac nails. So, downside is, it's not particularly glam, suave or sophisticated. This bothers me not one whit! I thoroughly enjoyed the massage (which was done in a curtained area downstairs with my friend in a cubicle next door - not sure how I'd feel about a stranger in the room!) and would definitely have again. Nails were lovely and well done too - in a minimal time which was good as we ended up being in a bit of a rush! The thing that really clinches it, is the price! It's incredibly reasonable for the excellent services you receive! Go slightly further into town and you can pay double. So, I say go for it and head along if you can. read more

Went today to get a pedicure and shellac my nails. Efficient staff, not the fanciest salon but large venue that offers a huge range of treatments. Will def go back and look to try other treatments. Great choice of colours for the nails. Now do HD brows which are very popular at the moment. read more

Go in, get your treatment, leave! That's basically the way of things and exactly the way I like it! All staff are very pleasant and prices are very reasonable and overall good experience, I would recommend 2UBeauty to anyone looking for threading, facials, nails, massage, waxing, eyelashes, manicures, pedicures, spray tans and more! read more

I have been coming here for the last 7-8 years with my 2 daughters and it's the best beautician I have been to. I stay half an hour drive away yet am willing to travel here every time I need a facial, shellac or threading. I would recommend this to anyone and not just for the services which they offer but the staff are wonderful and fully experienced. Keep up the good work girls !!! read more

Used a Groupon voucher for a manicure and pedicure (my first ever). I went in, was told to sit in the seat, surrounded by trays of equipment, weird electrical things and dirty boxes. Was left there for 10 minutes or so with no info on what was happening. Eventually someone came up to me told me to take my shoes off and put my feet up, I had to ask her to change the grubby towel she wanted me to put my feet on. Then someone else turned up and took my hands and started cutting and filing them, no comments or communication at all on what was happening. The way I was sat caused my legs to start aching very quickly and the angle I had to sit at to enable the man to do my nails was so uncomfortable. Every time I tried to move to get comfy I was told to sit still. I have crushed vertebrae and arthritis in my hips and knees, so it was more than just an discomfort to have to sit through. One of my thumb nails wasn't quite taking the shellac properly and was warping, the man who was doing my nails tried to reapply twice (still hadn't had even a hi from either) then huffed, said something to the woman working on my toes and walked away. He came back and carried on over the warped varnish. I've never had a manicure before but I can tell that this is not a good one. I have broken skin around my nails and my cuticles are still very much there. My pedicure is uneven and I'm having to take multiple pain killers throughout the day because of how I had to sit. Happy holiday to me. read more

I had a gel manicure at 2 U Beauty 10 days ago and it still looks great - still super glossy and looks as good as it did when it was applied. Eva did my nails and she did a great job - she took her time and was very thorough and precise. She took her time making sure my cuticles were perfect and my nails were properly shaped before starting with the gel. The salon is distinctly no-frills, and it's quite quiet. The staff are polite and friendly, but possibly due to a slight language barrier and the fact that all the manicurists wear paper masks; not terribly chatty. There is a big TV on the wall overhead showing music videos - a lot of Taylor Swift when I was in :) I have to say the nail dryers were a bit grubby - you could definitely see where many previous customers had been resting the palms of their hands. The table I was sitting at was a bit wobbly, too. All in all, I am planning on going back. It's very good value and they did a great job. If you're looking for a luxury experience and lengthy chat with the staff, it's not for you. If you want a straight forward, good quality manicure I'd recommend it. I'm planning on going back for an infill and a pedicure soon. read more

Went yesterday, first had my eyebrows threaded, amazing. And so worth the money. Then I had the ordeal of having my nails done. My usual salon was fully booked so I thought I would give this place a try. I was presented with Eva, possibly the most rude beauty therapist I have ever encountered. My nails have a gel overlay with Shellac colour on top, and they have done for 2 years. Eva argued with my every request. I requested that she remove the shellac, infill me gel and then reapply shellac in a new colour, surely not an unusual request?! Eva refused to infill my gel, leaving me now with gel half way up my nails with shellac painted over the top, she didn't even alter the length, and after my initial argument with her i did not feel comfortable asking any more of her. I requested that she put gel over one of my nails, as the previous had broken off. She rolled her eyes. Need I say more?! With the language barrier and that attitude I will certainly not be back to have my nails done. Eyebrows yes, but nails NEVER. read more

Absolutely shocking, I came here 3 wks ago getting my nails done to go on holiday, i got shellac done, had to go bk the next day to get 2 nails repaired as 2 had chipped, as i arrived on holiday the nex day the other hand 4 had chipped and one had actually fell off. i went bk after my holiday to get them repaired and was told i had to pay for it even tho it was a bad job in the first place. this was not the first time that had happened as i have been to the salon couple of times before and i always had to go bk to get my nails repaired again.. while i was there another lady came in to complain about her shellac falling off the next day. it wasnt until later that i found out some of the girls here are not actually qualified therapists but only trained by the manager. only a couple of them are actually qualified therapist. never going bk to this place again, no wonder their prices are cheap as they are not even qualified!! i'd rather pay money to those who knows what they are actually doing!! read more

I have just had an extremely bad experience at this beauticians. I went for a Brazilian wax. I was left waiting for 20 minutes after my appointment. I was the. Taken to a room where she didn't close the door or change the towel on the bed from the previous customer. She then waxed around my underwear with semi cold wax. It was agony. Meanwhile the doors open. She finished after 5 minutes and opened the door even further as she had her next client waiting and left me there in my underwear. Absolutely shocking. Such an upsetting experience. Would absolutely NOT recommend. read more

Went there for the first time for a mani and pedi, and I was so disappointed. Firstly, the staff are very chatty, but only with each other, but not in English! I had the bio sculpture gel for my mani. The girl did each coat so thin that even after she did a third coat (at my request), the colour was still not as dark as they were suppose to be, and was also much thinner than the half dozen times I've had them done elsewhere. On to the pedi. I asked for regular polish. I asked for this when I booked, and said it again when asked in the appointment. Without my knowledge, I was shown and selected the shellac polishes. I actually don't like the shellac on my nails. In the end, I have poorly done fingers (we'll see how long they last), a type of polish that I don't like and didn't ask for on my toes and had to pay more than I was quoted when I booked. Worst experience I've ever had. read more

I would give 0 stars if i could. I went in for manicure pedicure and eyebrow. The girls did not know how to smile, had no manners at all and had children running around and screaming, not what a salon should be like. The shellac was applied uneven and looked like there was a weeks growth! After a very boring coversation i discover out that the 'therapist' is NOT EVEN A QUALIFIED BEAUTY THERAPIST!! The girls are only trainned by the owner or the salon who i spotted had what looked like a certificate but it was all in chinese. I quickly made any excuse as i didnt not want to stay for the rest of my treatments! My shellac chipped and came off within a few days which is not surprising at all. The place is cheap but i would not even pay for what they asked for, i would strongly advise everyone to avoid for your own health and safety. Pay a little extra and see someone who is professional and actually has a qualification!!! read more

Honestly one of the worst places I have ever been! Went to get gel overlays done on my nails, had booked this in advance yet when i got there they had no idea what they were doing..after about half an hour tying to explain what I wanted they finally done my nails. They were pretty. Average when finished..a bit uneven but going by the way the place looks etc I expected it not to be too expensive. Turns out it cost £40. Basically their pricing online was different to in the shop.. £40 was waaay over priced for what was done how I was treated etc. So then withing roughly 6 hours one nail had fallen off and another chipped. I went back the next day to find that aparenly no one in the shop can actually do the gel overlays apart from the woman who originally done mines..and just my luck she was busy all day. Was offered to go back on the Monday buy unfortunately I have to work till 6pm everyday and then was going on holiday so that wasn't possible. So I went away with pretty horrible nails. And just to top it all off, by a week into the holiday every nail had fallen off. Joke of a ' beauty' salon. No customer service. Rubbish skills. Overpriced. Would not recommend! read more
