After months of boredom-induced nail biting and chipped polish from unsuccessful manicures at home, we’ve never been more ready to have our glamorous nails back…
I’m sure many of us tried some DIY beauty solutions during lockdown, coming to the painful conclusion that our eye-catching acrylics and creative nail art designs just can’t be recreated at home.
Thankfully, Manchester’s salons have reopened and are welcoming us with open arms to get glammed up with a new set of nails this spring.
Whether you want a fresh pub garden manicure or desperately need your nails neatening up, look no further than these must-visit nail salons in central Manchester.
