The surprising reasons these nail salons get amazing reviews

Published on 16 October 2018 - Last updated on 19 December 2025 by Beth Ryan

When it comes to nail bars, there are a few spots to choose from. And since manicures are one of our most-booked treatments, we know there are heaps of customers looking for ‘em too. So, how to stand out from the rest? We scoured reviews, did some research, and asked the glossy-fingertipped-lot at the Treatwell office to determine which salons are doing that extra something to keep clients sweet. Here are four salons doing a mighty fine job of going above and beyond the shape and polish.

By Rachel Spedding

  • 1 Mortar & Milk

    Tailor-made skincare is the main highlight at Mortar & Milk (excluding the dog, obviously). Combining cosmeceuticals with high street brands, the expert team are changing the way skincare is ‘prescribed’ to ensure each and every customer leaves feeling content – and with extra glowy skin. As beauty therapists, you’re the ones with the expertise – show it off!

  • 2 Coco & Rachel

    People love manicures. We mean it. Gel manis are consistently in our most-booked treatment list. So how can you make the much-loved manicure even better? Coco & Rachel are a prime example. They’ve added an in-house bar, serving high-quality coffee to their customers, to chill (or embrace the caffeine buzz) while enjoying a treatment. Fresh mani and fresh coffee – no greater combo. ​

  • 3 SouthBeach

    One of our most-booked spots for 2018, SouthBeach salon are a popular pick for high-end beauty treatments (from Dermalogica facials, to full body waxing). They’re supervised play area is no doubt part of the appeal, meaning customers can bring the kids along to every appointment. Their enclosed garden at the rear of the salon makes for a ‘zen’ getaway too, incase unwinding with a coffee and new magazine is more appealing. ​

  • 4 Coco Nail Bar

    If there’s a sure fire way to keep your customers sweet, it’s this: prosecco. Coco Nail Bar have got the right idea; the chic salon on Portobello Road (winners of Scratch & Professional Beauty's Award for UK's Nail Salon of the Year 2018), have a built-in bar. Really. Serving top quality manicures, and an easy-going vibe, it’s easy to see why they’re so loved on (and at) Treatwell.
