Pomelo nail bar 54 Barnes High Street, London SW13 9LF

"The best nail bar in the area. Professional and friendly service from Tom and his fabulous team. I’ve never had a manicure that’s lasted so well and for such a long period of time. Highly recommend."

"I have been going quite regularly for the last year or so and I am very happy with them. Overall and watching them with their other customers too, they are very helpful, always aiming to please their customers.. Nana"

"The boutique itself is very nice and very clean. The staff are mostly very nice too, although it was very clear they were talking about customers openly in front of them. Unfortunately I had a bad experience with my nails. I had grown them out to a really nice length, which had taken a while. I explicitly said to only cut them a little shorter - to which the man cut them completely down (but kept the first ‘example’ nail long..). I said that I was disappointed in the length - and I NEVER usually complain - and he just laughed and asked if I wanted extensions which I found to be quite rude. He went on to cut my skin on two of my fingers to the point of bleeding. I left thinking that my nails actually looked quite neat and was pretty pleased with them (although for the price I would expect to be). Two days later one of my nails chipped; and as I write this it’s been 1 week and 3 of my nails are completely chipped so I will have to get them redone this weekend. I won’t be going back unfortunately."

"My shellac manicure lasted only seven days before extensive chipping and then charged £10 for the remaining shellac to be removed which took ten minutes. Ouch!"

"Worst manicure I've ever had... Very untidy, both the utensils and the manicure finish itself. Left feeling ripped off and very unhappy. I told the guy who did my manicure that it doesn't look very well and the varnish had already started bubbling and all he did was applying another layer of clear varnish on top of the colour and put the dryer on again for 5 minutes- this really did not sort thinga out at all. Will not come back here - 17£ for a simple manicure and 3£ tip down the drain. I could have done a better job myself had I not wanted a treat ...."
