Brighton Nails

Nice place, friendly staff & very reasonably priced but the language barrier is a bit of an issue. I wanted some creative nail art and they were very limited on what they could do.
However if you are looking for straight forward manicure or pedicure then this is the place for you.

I was met with a slightly better reception than i usually do in these type of nail salons.
The nails were a let down though, which was a shame as the last time i got them done here, they were great. Very uneven and when i asked for a different colour on top of the first coat i had on, she refused.
Not going back

If I were basing this review solely on the pedicures they would be receiving 5 stars. They have a massage chair you sit in while you’re having your pedi done which is rather delicious… Every time I come for one they are SO thorough. My feet feel reborn! They are not shy to really go for it with (I know this sounds rank) removing all the dead skin and giving them a proper polish! I even received a very enjoyable foot and leg massage. I came away feeling like my feet were so light I could take off. Yumyumyum. They also looked beautiful so they really worked miracles considering they were MY feet!
It hasn’t the best ambiance in there though, it’s very fumey from all the acrylic shizzle and although the workers are very nice, most of them can’t talk English. As awful as this sounds, I can find that quite nice sometimes as I can just relax and not have to make idle chit-​chat!
When I had my nails done here they lasted 4 weeks which is also quite a feat for me as I can be slightly heavy handed and clumsy!
Oh and you don’t have to book appointments you can just walk in, sometimes there’s a little wait, but usually it’s not for long.
Cannot recommend enough for pedi’s.

…After a brief and underwhelming visit to Natural Nails, I next came across the unimaginatively named Brighton Nails. Instantly there was a more inclusive and warming welcome. I don’t think that they expected me to have a treatment, and when they saw my nails they were frankly disgusted. But like true professionals, they went to work. There wasn’t too much chitchat, but I put that down to the concentration on the matter at hand, quite literally. After a few scrimps, scrapes, buffs and polishes, I had an almost respectable set of shiny digits. My housemate had gone all out and got some ridiculously full on pink acrylic numbers. Very friendly service but I don’t think I’ll be going back for another session, only due to my lack of care for cuticles.

Brighton Nails doesn’t look quite like its caught up with the times. The lime green exterior, the yellow writing, the image of a hand clutching a rose… its all so Eighties! Whats even more incredibly Eighties is the image of a woman with bleach blond bouffant hair in the window! I am usually sort of a fan of this outdated tacky stuff, but this is just too much.
Brighton Nails (such imagination!) is only slightly less outdated on the inside. It doesn’t really matter as it doesn’t affect the service they offer– they are the friendliest ladies and they know how to do a good manicure. What is lost in atmosphere and attractive décor is certainly made-​up for in reasonable prices! All the usual treats are on offer: manicures, pedicures, silks and acrylic extensions. Like the other nail salons in the area, they offer an extensive array of air brush nail designs– not my cup of tea, but if it’s yours Brighton Nails looks like as good a place as any!
Although this place looks less than appealing from the outside, you’ll get much better value for money than at one of the poncy beauty salons in town.
