I am using both Glamorous Nails and Beauty@999, both great.


Beauty@999 is very good value for money and they do excellent job.

Glamorous Nails is definitely more established business and it can be more social experience, especially on Saturdays.

I am a fan of Lyttle Minx, used to go to their salon over in Gypsy Hill before they opened their Lordship Lane branch.


Their deluxe pedicures are the best - they really work to get all the hard skin off your feet as well as doing the usual nail work. Manicures are also good.

Why not call them and explain what happened, am sure they will fix it.

Go for Glamorous. I'm so surprised at the praise for 999 - I've been three times and always had problems - poor cuticle removal, varnish on the skin, chipping varnish the next day. For the extra few pounds, Glamorous offer a perfect service - attention to detail, never varnish on the skin, etc.

I used to love 999 beauty but was very disappointed by my most recent visit. I went for a manicure and pedicure the week before last and felt like the standards of hygiene there are fairly lacking. The staff are very pleasant and the manicure and pedicure I received looked nice at the end but there were two things that really bothered me about my visit. Firstly, during my pedicure, when the lady was buffing my toenails she buffed too hard and grazed the skin, causing my toe to bleed. The buffer was not new (it had clearly been used before) and instead of taking any action to disinfect the cut she just carried on as if nothing had happened, and used a brush to paint cuticle oil over the area which is obviously not disinfected between clients. This lack of hygiene could easily cause customers to pick up infections. Then, when I had the manicure, the (different this time) manicurist had a terrible cold. Obviously it's not his fault he has a cold but I didn't enjoy receiving a manicure from someone who was constantly coughing/sneezing/sniffing as I didn't want to catch it.


I really used to love this place and have never written a bad review online before but I do feel strongly that the hygiene standards at 999 beauty need to be improved. Although my manicure/pedicure looked nice at the end for these reasons I won't be returning there and wouldn't recommend it to others.

    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter. 
    • So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
    • I would hope that is extremely unlikely. If people accidentally vote for someone, that's their own fault, isn't it?
