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’m broadly in agreement with you, Dogkennelhillbilly. But why the meme? It’s a very unfair representation of Sean Dyche, a man who to my knowledge has never engaged in any culture war bollocks. From his Wikipedia entry: Dyche features in an internet meme criticising modern trends in football, in which the phrase "utter woke nonsense" is attributed to him; he said "I wish I'd copyrighted it. Considering I didn’t actually say it, it does follow me around".
    • Whisky Macs, like Harvey's Bristol Cream and Cinzano Bianco & lemonade, are a taste of Christmas past sadly lost to many. A little Whisky Mac and icing sugar whisked through whipping cream makes a festive accompaniment to stollen or Christmas pudding.
    • Legal matters are notoriously slow.  There is no rule that communication has to be via email, fax or letter. If the issue is that you want to claim damages to the property because of poor practice, you would have to lodge a complaint with the ombudsman, but surely the one to suffer the most is the “gold digger” beneficiary?    If that is not the wrong that needs righting, what is? 
    • We're looking for a second hand / ex display kitchen to install late November / early December. If anyone is renovating / getting a new kitchen in the next month and looking to sell on or get rid of their old units and appliances please do get in touch. Many thanks
