Always apprehensive about going somewhere new but Gira was so warm and welcoming from the get go, she literally prepped and pampered every inch of my nails and they came out sooooo good!!!! Just what I asked for!! had a lovely morning with her at the salon and left with jaw ache from all the laughing she made me do! Can’t wait to start a biab journey after Xmas and will certainly be bringing my daughter for her nails to be done ☺️ thanks you ❤️

I had my nails done for the first time, and it was a wonderful experience. The place is calm and quiet, and Gira was incredibly warm and welcoming from the start. She made me feel completely comfortable and took great care, paying close attention to detail, which made me feel relaxed. I’ll definitely be coming back for my next appointment!

Just had my first ever mani and pedi today. Gira was so kind and made me feel so comfortable. She talked me through each step and took her time during the process. She paid so much attention to detail and I’m so so happy with the way my nails turned out!! Can’t recommend her enough!

After finding it so difficult to find a nail tech that accommodates for halal-nails im so glad i came across purely-nails. Gira was so friendly and welcoming and my nails came out lush. Cant wait to continue my nail journey with purely-nails. So glad i don’t need to travel out of Cardiff and also free parking so definitely can’t complain!

Absolutely loved my experience at purely nails! G was incredibly friendly and made me feel so comfortable. She paid attention to every little detail, and I’ve never seen my nails look this good—seriously flawless. You can tell she truly cares about her work. I’ve been getting nonstop compliments! Highly recommend—best nails and experience I’ve ever had.

Gira was absolutely amazing, she was so welcoming and kind, was such a lovely person inside and out. As soon as i arrived she instantly offered me a beverage which made the experience 10x better. I went for the luxury halal manicure and Gira did it so perfectly and professionally. She made sure she was happy with my nails and throughout the appointment she kept asking if i was ok, if it was painful and if i was happy with my nails. To top it all off the hand scrub and massage was the best, i highly recommend this. I would 100% be going back to get my nails redone and recommend her to all my family and friends.

I had a halal gel manicure today and I am really impressed with the results and quality of service. Gira was super kind and made me feel at home from the moment I walked in. Her place is super cute and the vibes are 10/10. Super happy to have found a halal manicure option and will definitely be booking her again.

Recently started getting my nails done to help with growth as my job left them very brittle and weak. Gira has been so amazing throughout, she was so welcoming and friendly when I first came in and shes very accommodating to help you leave with nails that you love. The studio is so cosy, professional and clean and her prep work beforehand is amazing. You can see how well my nails have been getting on from session one. So happy that my nails are growing again and I love coming to Gira to relax and have my nails looking so pretty 🩷 I would definitely reccommend her to anyone who asks for a nail technician in Cardiff. Thank you so much Gira!

Wow. Had my nails done for the first time, last minute for a special occasion. Was so nervous going in but Gira was wonderful - so welcoming and warm. She made sure to explain everything she was doing and kept checking I was okay. Genuinely the best experience and would not hesitate to recommend. Within ten minutes I was already planning my next visit! The most lovely morning and felt like a catch up with a friend. Can’t stop staring at my nails now, they’re so pretty.

Had my first booking today and will be returning and recommending this business. I am so happy with my manicure. I’m grateful for the advice given which will help me strengthen my nails and keep them looking as lovely as they do now. I prefer the personal touches rather than big flashy salons and I got this in abundance. Such a warm welcome, a relaxing atmosphere, nothing was rushed such a pleasurable experience Thanks again and will be back soon

Have had several lovely BIAB manicures at this salon in Cardiff. Gira is very chatty and friendly and open to talk about anything/ have relaxing fish on the tv or whatever series you’re watching at the time. Open to trying any designs, and even putting up with my inability to make decisions and guiding me. Look forward to it every time x
Cheryl Anderson
Best nail salon in Cardiff!! I met Gira a few months back for gel x extensions because I wanted to grow my natural nails. After having some terrible experiences at other nail places Gira was gentle with me and I had such a relaxing experience. Purely nails is now my go to nail salon. I’ve now moved onto biab as my real nails are now my desired length and they are the healthiest I’ve ever seen them! Not to mention I’ve NEVER experienced any lifting or chipping due to her amazing prep work and aftercare advice! Couldn’t recommend this salon enough.🩷
Daniella Thomas
everyone needs a treatment from Gira! firstly, she is just the loveliest lady! so professional but also felt like I was seeing a friend. the salon was so lovely and cosy and homely and I loved the fact it was 1-1 so you could really relax. I had a luxury pedicure with gel polish and it was exactly that, pure luxury! my feet have never felt so good! there were so many little touches that just made it such a lovely experience e.g. offered drinks and the massage chair. it was such a lovely experience and I'm just sad I can't afford to see to Gira every week 🤣 xx
Heather Lindsay
Have been having my nails done for almost a year now at this lovely nail salon in Cardiff. Excellent service, so friendly and unhurried also very private and free parking right outside. I call my visits therapy sessions and look forward to them so much. My own nails have gone from being a neglected mess to beautiful long, strong nails through excellent manicure and prep and great after care advice. I've had extensions,.builder gel, gel manicured usually with some amazing nail art. I always come away feeling refreshed and pampered withu little works of art to look at for weeks. Highly recommend and the pedicures are to die for too.

I was looking for a nail salon in Cardiff and I came across Purely Nails. Gira is such an amazing nail tech as well as a totally lovely lady. I got a fibre glass gel manicure which I'd never heard of before, but has worked wonders on my short, brittle nails. She's so precise and really cares about her clients' nails. Her salon is totally relaxing and she has so many colour choices!

Let’s be real — nails aren’t “just nails”.
They’re confidence. They’re femininity. They’re a whole mood.
I built Purely Nails because I was tired of rushed appointments, silence that feels awkward, and leaving the salon with nails that chip before your weekend plans even start.
Here, it’s different.
I take my time. I care about health and aesthetics.
I don’t do conveyor-belt beauty — I do tailored, detailed, personal nail care in a private studio with zero stress and zero judgement.
Whether you're growing your natural nails, loving short classy manicures, or want nails that get compliments everywhere you go — I’ve got you.
Expect:
✨ One-to-one appointments
✨ High-quality products only
✨ Nails that actually last
✨ Conversation, laughs, peace — whatever vibe you need that day
✨ A space you look forward to coming back to
✨ A pamper session with a drink to help you relax a little more
I’m here for the men and women who like things done properly.
Who value good energy, good brows, a good outfit — and even better nails.
Come relax, get pampered, and leave feeling like her/him.
You deserve nails that match your energy.

Paraffin wax is a deeply nourishing heat treatment for the hands or feet. After your manicure or pedicure, I apply warm, silky paraffin wax, then wrap your hands in cling film and place them into heated mitts to fully lock in the warmth.
The gentle heat opens the pores and allows intense hydration to penetrate deeply into the skin. It helps soften dry or cracked areas, improve circulation and even ease stiffness in the joints.
It’s not just an add-on — it’s a proper indulgent treatment. You’ll leave with hands that feel incredibly soft, smooth and completely pampered.
