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!

Love love love it!…read more After a tragic visit to a nail salon chain in the city centre, I was directed here by a friend. Entering, I found it bright, welcoming and friendly. The place was a-buzz with customers, who all were chatty and lively. When I sheepishly showed my badly done nails to my new nail tech, Fee, (who part owns the shop), she just tutted and said, 'Well, you've come to the right place!' I never felt, for the hour or so I was there, that I had to struggle with conversation. Everything was light and easy, and Fee was gentle and knowledgeable about what she does. In fact, the hour passed so quickly that I didn't even realise it; that's a good sign! And when I left, I felt like I'd made some good friends, rather than that feeling like I'd been through a conveyor belt. It may seem like a jaunt from the city centre, but it's worth it. The prices are great, they'll give you a discount if they can, and you'll find yourself looking forward to your next visit. If you pass up this opportunity, then you're just a fool. You can't get quality beauty like this anywhere else.

I have just left the salon and I am really upset with the service I have recieved…read more I had been to the salon before and really liked it. As we were up from London for Christmas I phoned straight away to book. This time the technician basically ignored me! She talked to everyone else in the salon but me. After a while I was so shocked I took to looking at my mobile, ceiling etc. I do think that even some of the other technicians felt I was really uncomfortable but said nothing. How easy would it have been to utter a - looking forward to Christmas? Done all your shopping? My nails are good but they will be done just as well elsewhere. A horrible experience!

I've been here a few times. granted it was a few years ago,…read morebut i know people whom have been more recently and it doesn't appear to have changed that much. I went here with my best friend to get some waxing done. now the place itself is nice and clean and professiobally run, it was a bit hard to find and i walked past it numerous times before i realised i had to walk upto each door to see if it was on the buzzer system, as its on the top floor and its not exactly greatly visible when your standing and trying to look up. once inside the waiting room is nice and the girl doing the waxing was nice she chatted away which reduces the awkwardness that comes with it. the job itself was doen efficently and quickly and there was not a problem. my problem came at the prices. expensive in comparison to ther places its on the highest end, also i did feel that i wasn't the kind of person they were usually treating, not that it was obvious or anything but just by the standard and prices of the places and some of the treatments they offer it appears to be more of an up market place. safe to say after 3 treatments my money was gone and i went elsewhere for the same thing all be it at a much cheaper price.

Really well trained and friendly staff. There is a really…read morewide range of treatments (check out their website). What I like is the fact they are open 7 days a week with 2 late nights. St. Enoch subway is just next to it. Even though the salon is slap bang in the middle of the city centre it has a really relaxing vibe to it and you are made the feel at ease the minute you walk through the door. Although it is not the cheapest I feel this reflects the quality of the treatments and the expertise of the staff. This place was a ahead of it's time offering Brazilian waxing in the days when a Brazilian was a native of Brasil!

Redeeming my mother's day manicure voucher along with my daughter ( talk about a bowling ball…read morepresent ) we recognised a couple of faces from previous visits to the Silverburn spa. A friendly welcome helped us feel immediately at home and soon our hands were being treated to an exfoliation and moisturising treatment followed by a file and polish all using top quality products. While our nails dried we relaxed and enjoyed an unhurried glass of fizz. 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.

This is my local waxing saloon. I have had my back and eyebrows done here, usually in a fit of…read moreoptimism about a forthcoming date. Although this is a sensitive and painful operation, I have been delighted with the results- my eyebrows were actually shaped after the treatment, and not just reduced- and the therapists have always been sufficiently sympathetic to make me feel comfortable. It can't be easy coping with a man who is torn between his vanity and shame at the same, especially when they are having hot wax poured over their back, but the therapists was kind and managed to keep up the banter. The price was very good as well. I have also used this saloon for massage: it is the cheapest that I have found in Shawlands, but still effective. It errs on the side of being a pampering rather than a medical treatment- it is either relaxing or energising, with no subtle aromatherapy tricks, but again, the masseuse is professional and sensitive.

They wanted £30. Not as if I wanted nail extensions lol. So I tried this place. I couldn't believe when they said £5 here. I thought I was getting a bargain until I seen the state of the job afterwards. A girl was going my nails on Sunday who looked about 13 on work experience from school. I'll let the picture show the job. I asked to get brows done too. Waxed and plucked. I had to ask her to take more off from above my left as they were both different sizes. My advise is. Pay the extra and go to a place with proper professionals. Look at the 2 pictures. Yes, as you will see. The cuticles are cut very messy.

When confronted about this he failed to see he had done a bad job, boy clearly is not a qualified hairdresser. Wouldnt be surprised if he was only in his first year of college! Was also overcharged by £10, sign outside states 'cut and blow dry £15' yet after I had it cut and was ready to pay I was informed it would be £25. The so called manager has a terrible attitude, no customer service skills whatsoever and generally a rude woman. Overall a very bad experience, would not recommend this place to anyone
