I had my first appointment with James for a manicure and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience. I’ve been searching for a really good nail specialist for a long time, and I was often left disappointed with the quality of work elsewhere. This time was completely different. From the moment I arrived, he was very friendly and welcoming, which immediately put me at ease. What really stood out to me was his attention to detail. He took his time to make sure everything was done perfectly, and it really shows in the final result. My nails look amazing, and the quality is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I also really enjoyed the atmosphere. I’m not usually a very social person, but we ended up having a lovely conversation for the entire hour and a half about all sorts of topics, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I’m so happy I finally found someone I can trust with my nails. I will definitely be coming back and would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a high-quality manicure!

I’ve been going to James for over a year now, and not once have I left the salon feeling anything less than delighted 💖 My nails always look stunning and impeccably cared for, a true reflection of the time, attention, and skill he puts into his work ✨️ As someone who can be quite quiet at first, I was a little worried the atmosphere might feel awkward, but it’s completely the opposite. Whether I’m in the mood to chat, sing along to tunes, or simply enjoy some quiet time, James creates a comfortable and welcoming environment every time. Honestly, 10/10 I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nail In The Coffin, and I’ll definitely be a returning client for the long run 😊😊

I have been visiting for 4 sets now and am never disappointed! I will send pictures of inspiration and the attention to detail is always amazing. James is a great conversationalist and is always understanding of what I want to have done.

Honestly, one of the nicest and calming people to have ever done my nails. I was put at ease straight away, no awkwardness and had a lot of fun getting to know James. And his work is stunning! Really puts a lot of effort and detail into his work. 10/10 would recommend him to anyone :3

It took me so long to find someone like James and I am so happy I finally did. Been going for 6 months now and each time I’m so happy with the work he does and the vibes and banter is immaculate!
