Angel Nail & Tanning Salon

On the recommendation of a friend, popped in here with a friend for an OPI gel manicure. I rarely get my nails done, but I was totally impressed with the friendliness of the staff, how quickly and carefully they worked, and the results.
I think it was Rob who did my nails, and he was incredibly friendly, making conversation with me throughout my manicure, giving me tips about places to live and visit (I’m a new girl!), and generally making me feel less-​awkward… We all know how strange it is to sit face to face with someone for half an hour and not talk, but I was more comfortable than I’ve ever been in a nail salon!
I know that gel filling takes a long time, but I felt like the staff at Angel Nail were working constantly to keep the process going for each client. Part of this is probably because it’s becoming well known that they do great work and they get quite busy, but still, they were precise and careful working with my nails, as well as in greeting and scheduling clients.
Finally, my nails look great! What more do you need to know than that?

I’m saving all you lassies that love a pampering as much as I do the trouble of frantically searching around for a nail shop near Islington. Like I did. Before a co-​worker came to my rescue and mentioned that Angel Nail was quite good… off I went!
Girls, let’s Unilocal the best beauty places… it’s a win/​win for all. Prettier, happier ladies… prettier, happier world.
I’ve translated my manicure/​pedicure obsession to Europe. There are many things I can give up, but this is not one of them and luckily Angel Nail exists for those of us still on quite a budget. 28 GBP (cash only!) or a manicure/​pedicure combo that reaches my exacting standards? SOLD.
I only had to wait a very short time. I had a nice conversation with the owner as he did my manicure. He charged my iPhone for me. All plusses!
The only improvements? Perhaps a spiffier color selection (though its certainly fine, and not the worst I’ve seen) and a bit of spiffing up, but all in all… I really liked the spot, the staff and the color job. My nails look infinitely better and my feet much smoother and well-​buffed and shined.
