Wonderful new nail salon in Oru - Nails by Sofia

[EDmummy101]

Just had a fabulous manicure (complete with herbal tea and biscoff 🙂 ) by SOFIA, based in an upstairs room in Oru.

Honestly polar opposite of most nail salons where you're welcomed in to a bustling shop full of people and chemical smells from nail polish remover etc. 

This little salon is a light and airy room where you can see the sky and look at a vase of daffodils whilst Sofia is giving you a manicure and lovely hand massage!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

That might have been the case if it was a first post, but it isn't, which makes it less likely.

It would be sad if people were put off from posting on here when they have had a good experience at a new local business because they think it will be assumed that they have some connection with the business.

do you know that though Sue - or are you just guessing? And that is rhetoric.

I know it's not a first post, if that's what you mean?

You can see the number of posts a forum member has made by clicking on the letter next to their name.

You can also see when they joined the forum  and you can see what recent posts they have made.

Do you know that the OP was "posting for a friend", or are you just guessing?

Nope she wasn't a friend, it was the first time we had met and she was lovely... highly recommended 🙂

Anyone on here in theory could post for friends or post fake reviews. 

I'm simply trying to be nice and spread the word about someone who does a very good job in a lovely calm space, in contrast to most nail salons where you're in a busy place and no personal touch, no conversation and definitely no herbal tea and biscuits!

Off peak slightly cheaper, depends on what type of manicure.

Mine was classic as I don't like gels (£27 on Treatwell but then they take a percentage so best to book directly).

Sofia has an offer on first time clients who book directly.

I went for a BAIB manicure today with Sofia, really happy with the quality of manicure. Sofia is lovely and great section of herbal teas in a nice space.  
 

highly recommend.

BIAB is supposed to be less damaging to the nails than Shellac. It stands for Builder in a Bottle.
