PAINT Nails London - Oxford Street Reviews Summary

Staff and Service

Pros:

• "The service staff were fantastic!"
• "Elena helped me decide on my nail design and executed it perfectly!"
• "From the moment I entered I was greeted so warmly and all of the staff was so welcoming."
• "Tia my amazing nail technician was so tentative and thorough."
• "The staff were so friendly, the bar ladies were attentive and fun."

Cons:

• "Had a manicure and gel extension done this morning which was okay not the most flattering shape even though I showed an image as guidance. However, the lady who was doing my nails was incredibly rude and made the experience very uncomfortable for me. Very snappy and short."
• "One of the worst experiences ever. First of all, I was waiting to be seen for 20 minutes."
• "The salon is super cute on the inside, so my hopes were quite high. I paid £60 for my gel manicure and, while I love my nails, the experience in general was not great. Nobody offered me anything to drink until 45 minutes into my appointment."

Quality of Nails

Pros:

• "Very pleased with my nails done by Gabi."
• "Toks did my nails for my friends wedding and they are so lush!"
• "Absolutely love my new nails. Asked for mermaid nails and that’s exactly what I got!"
• "Third BIAB appointment with Rhiannon, and I couldn’t be happier!"
• "I had gel nails done with the lovely Toks. She took care to understand exactly what I wanted."

Cons:

• "I got gel here and it lasted less than a week before I started noticing bubbles."
• "My nails were filed unevenly, and the gel application didn’t lay at all."
• "I came in for gel extensions and level 1 nail art (French tips). Only a week after getting these done, the paint was chipping and the nails were lifting."
• "I went here today for BIAB nails. It was my first time getting this done so I didnt know what to expect but had looked around at other salons for prices, went here because it was a last minute Saturday booking. I must say, for £60, I was very disappointed."
• "The space looks cute and they offer a lot of services, but the nail services fell flat. For the price of this place, I expected more."

Ambience and Location

Pros:

• "Visited for the first time. Nice atmosphere."
• "The salon is chic but laid back."
• "The salon has a nice vibe, it’s spacious and unpretentious."
• "Such a lovely nail salon!! Very conveniently located in Soho, gorgeous interior."
• "The whole place has a really nice, lively vibe."

Cons:

• "The salon was very busy which meant my service was running late unfortunately and I wasn’t able to get the full experience."
• "Cool atmosphere and great cocktails! The salon was very busy which meant my service was running late unfortunately."
• "I was waiting to be seen for 20 minutes."
• "My nails underneath are now so brittle and I’m afraid to take the other gels off."
• "The people working there also seemed more interested in the woman sitting next to me, which I guess had uses more money than me."

Price and Value

Pros:

• "The salon also has a lovely atmosphere, definitely worth the money."
• "Been to a few different nail salons in London but this one is the new favourite!"
• "Really fantastic experience at Paint today! The pricing is fair as well."
• "The pricing is fair as well."
• "Brilliant walk-in service. I was seen straight away for acrylic nail removal."

Cons:

• "Bit pricier than other places."
• "I was counting down the minutes until it was done. Will not be coming back, complete waste of money."
• "Absolutely not worth £120! I wasn’t even asked if I wanted my nails shorter or reshaped."
• "For £70, I didn’t expect such a poor outcome but I should have had an inkling from the disorganised experience."
• "The best manicure I've ever had but for £85, I would have expected at least two weeks of decent wear."
