The Nail Lounge Southsea

I would recommend going somewhere else if you expect your nails to last for a while , I went in for a full set of arcrylics and they managed to fit me in which I was pleased about however the staff made little conversation. One of the tips was stuck on crooked and the arcrylic was very thin and bumpy. I was happy to know that they had a very similar colour to what I wanted but the nail polish was very thin and had air bubbles in it. That is not the worst of my experience either, after 6 days of me having my nails 2 came off and after about 1 week and 4 days 5 of my nails have come off bearing in mind arcrylics are supposed to stay on for 2-3 weeks. I’m not too sure if it is the way they were applied that made them fall off quickly or if it was the fact that my nails grew out very quickly . Overall I thought my nails looked nice but they didn’t last.

Had a pedicure for the first time here, nothing fancy; didn't want shellac or anything. They did a fantastic job, my feet soaked in a bubbly thing for over 39 minutes, the chair massaged my back.Really good attention to detail on nails,cuticle , hard skin, exfoliation etaI was very impressed for £25 and my feet feel fab

A warning, please avoid! This place is simply terrible. Last Friday I went for a ‘luxury’ manicure instead I got damaged skin and nails. I realised that the tools are not disinfected. The ‘nail technician’ put the cuticle cutter back in the drawer, smudged with my blood, without being cleaned. I challenged her asking whether they disinfect their tools and pretended not to understand English, however as soon as another lady came in, she was fully conversant. The manicure in this place was a joke. I ended up with bleeding fingers and a shellac that peeled away 2 hours later. I lost my money and hoping not to get any infections. Please see pic of damaged cuticles.

I popped in by chance to try a manicure for the first time. They fitted me in and my first manicure and chelac experience was beautiful. I went away so impressed, the customer service was brilliant and the polish remained chip free for over 3 weeks. I will be coming back. The manicurist was so friendly and thorough.

Thought I would support a local business after lock down, despite the mixed reviews.Really was not happy with my nails after I left, it was the most painful manicure I have ever had. My cuticles were cut dangerously short to the point where two of my fingers wouldn’t stop bleeding. My natural nails were scratched with the buffer, completely ruining the texture.The actual manicure was pretty sloppy and I wish I had listened to the reviews now. Praying my fingers don’t get infected at this point.Got offered a £5 discount, I still had to pay £10 for what I think should have been free of charge due to the damage. :(So so disappointing and painful. Won’t be coming here again unfortunately.

I have just had the best pedicure I have had in 27 years, since I used to them myself on London. Lisa is so thorough. I am so pleased -

I was quite unhappy after my visit to The Nail Lounge on Saturday. My technician was very heavy handed while giving me acrylics, and on several occasions made the edges of my nails bleed (this has never happened when I’ve been to other salons!) after pulling my hand away as it hurt, she pulled them back, smiled, and carried on..Something I also found a bit worrying was after using cuticle clippers and drawing blood, they weren’t sanitised at all - just placed back into the holder!!I wouldn’t go back there again, and would warn others about getting treatments here

Staff were friendly but a very poor level of nails provided. Gel nails look very messy and none of the nails are same shape, or length. Pedicure was not nice, cold water, painful and really messy nails. It was also £15 more expensive than my usual place. And really disappointing. I won’t return.

Needed a last min pedicure therefore chose this place as it was close. Staff were extremely nice and friendly, however there was a language barrier. I asked for pedicure with french nails everything was great apart from the french accent, my big toes are uneven in length and in the french detail. The work seemed very rushed and not careful (they were getting busy, however i came on time and i wasn’t served till 30 mins later)
