Absolutely disgusted. I usually go to Natural Nails and walk out feeling amazing. Unfortunately they were closed on the day I needed nails so I had to go to Brighton Nails.
The customer service was awful, I was spoken to in a rude way the whole time I was there by the man doing my nails. I was made to have 2 of my nails gel as “it will hold my hews on longer.” (This isn’t true as natural nails don’t do this and my acrylics and art/gems last 3-4 weeks.) so that upped the prise without me having any choice. I payed £40...
When I left I saw the nail varnish had creases up whilst drying so they looked awfully painted. The next morning I woke up to my nail varnish peeled off and some of my gems had fallen off. They were so weak that one snapped causing my nail underneath to snap too. When I went back they didn’t give me any choice of a refund. They just ripped the rest of the nail off. (Didn’t soak it off) and stuck a nail back on top off my bad nail. Hurt me the whole time and is still throbbing. Won’t get my money back and I’m fuming. Read Less

Ussally love coming in here to get a full set and I'd say I'm a fairly regular customer. However when I went in today I was shouted at and not listened to and cussed about. I have never ever been so disappointed with the service and frankly am appalled by the them I asked for my perfect length however then he cut them far to short. The colour of the polish is uneven and slightly chunky. I'm not sure why today was different to other days but I do certainly know I will not be returning. The who is the manger I'm assuming is creepy ie gives u weird look and last year touched my friends leg he is also read and incompetent of doing a good job. He did almond short nails when I asked for pointy he then shouted at me when I tried to ask him to slightly file them in his college had to calm him down. The other people in there are however lovely and polite but it is always a hit or miss in there. I can say that they've lost a customer. They are rude and unprofessional and do not listen. If you're looking to get your nails done save your money and go to natural nails. Read Less

Used Brighton Nails for about 4 rounds of infills as they seem accessible and quick
On last visit the woman next to me had the worst nail fungus I had EVER seen and said when asked she had got it from Brighton Nails - I would have walked out there and then only I was just finishing up.
She said she had been refused down the road and had come back as Brighton Nails was the only place they would STILL do her nails.
I watched no special care was taken to ensure the utensils were cleaned before of after !
I have now got the nail fungal for the first time and it's a bad case !
This place needs domes standards installed or shutting down.
I have now discovered so many people that have fungal from this place it's disgraceful !!!!
NO I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT unless you want months of disgusting nail fungus which is very hard to get rid of and looks really gross! Read Less

I realise I'm probably not the average customer at brighton nails, in so far as I only come here as alternative to going to a podiatrist for a keratin related foot condition. Boy oh boy are they thorough. You will leave here with immaculate looking feet covered in a mix of aloe vera and coconut melon Avojuice. There is definitely a language barrier. Even as a regular, I sometimes struggle. I can now get by, especially having always gone to vietnamese nail salons (on the east coast of the usa, in India, and here in the UK), but it's particularly tough here. Vietnamese nail salons have a bit of a bad rep as shady places in terms of human rights issues (google at your own convenience...) but I'm rather attached to this place. Plus, like many similar shops you'll be treated to fine massage chairs for the duration of your pedicure. Read Less

When I took the long walk down London Rd on a Saturday afternoon, I stumbled upon this establishment, whilst somewhat cautious when entering the salon that was inevitably stuck in the 1980s I was immediately greeted with an overbearing smell of rice, I glanced around the salon and saw what i was class as 'minimalist' decor, the fish in the tank seemed dismal, however this was not a foreshadowing of the treatment that I was about to receive. I sat down in a surprisingly comfortable chair and the male beautician began working on my nails immediately, he worked with such passion and care that he did not have much time to speak. About 45 minutes later I left the salon with a beautiful set of £25 acrylics, I would highly recommend this business. Read Less

If I were basing this review solely on the pedicures they would be receiving 5 stars. They have a massage chair you sit in while you're having your pedi done which is rather delicious... Every time I come for one they are SO thorough. My feet feel reborn! They are not shy to really go for it with (I know this sounds rank) removing all the dead skin and giving them a proper polish! I even received a very enjoyable foot and leg massage. I came away feeling like my feet were so light I could take off. Yumyumyum. They also looked beautiful so they really worked miracles considering they were MY feet!It hasn't the best ambiance in there though, it's very fumey from all the acrylic shizzle and although the workers are very nice, most of them can't talk English. As awful as this sounds, I can find that quite nice sometimes as I can just relax and not have to make idle chit-chat!When I had my nails done here they lasted 4 weeks which is also quite a feat for me as I can be slightly heavy handed and clumsy!Oh and you don't have to book appointments you can just walk in, sometimes there's a little wait, but usually it's not for long.Cannot recommend enough for pedi's.

Brighton Nails doesn't look quite like its caught up with the times. The lime green exterior, the yellow writing, the image of a hand clutching a rose...its all so Eighties! Whats even more incredibly Eighties is the image of a woman with bleach blond bouffant hair in the window! I am usually sort of a fan of this outdated tacky stuff, but this is just too much.Brighton Nails (such imagination!) is only slightly less outdated on the inside. It doesn't really matter as it doesn't affect the service they offer- they are the friendliest ladies and they know how to do a good manicure. What is lost in atmosphere and attractive decor is certainly made-up for in reasonable prices! All the usual treats are on offer: manicures, pedicures, silks and acrylic extensions. Like the other nail salons in the area, they offer an extensive array of air brush nail designs- not my cup of tea, but if it's yours Brighton Nails looks like as good a place as any!Although this place looks less than appealing from the outside, you'll get much better value for money than at one of the poncy beauty salons in town.
