NAF Salon

The good: So first things first, the finished result of my nails (toe nails) were lovely. I opted for very classy glittery pink gel nails, and I loved the finished look. And another nice note, the girl (Amber I think) was super chatty and made me feel pretty welcome. Also the salon appeared to be all nice and squeaky clean which is a bonus.
The bad: I was panicking that I was going to be late and I couldn’t find it, but in the end I was about ⁴⁄₅ minutes late, tops. The receptionist said that was fine as Amber was running a few minutes late herself. She took my coat and offered me a drink and showed me where to wait. There was Netflix and I could choose what to put on so that was a nice touch! However even after I had sat down which took it to a bit later now, I was taken 45 minutes after this, which meant about 50 minutes after my appointment time. FIFTY MINUTES. I hate being nasty but that’s a bit ridiculous in my opinion, regardless of being offered a drink or Netflix to watch. To be honest I didn’t really have an extra almost hour to sit and watch tv and was so close to leaving, but I wanted the pink glittery toes. Anyway, I digress.
I also said I couldn’t see an option for gels and a pedicure online so could I have that if she had time, if not just a quick scrub/​tidy up. She said no because you can’t have a pedicure with gels due to the water and something about bacteria. This isn’t true but hey, I wasn’t that fussed about the pedicure part anyway.
This is just personal preference, but I’ve noticed everyone saying how much they like the décor. It’s possibly the coolest looking salon I’ve ever been in, but I don’t know. In my opinion it didn’t really suit a salon and I felt more like I was sitting somewhere waiting to be served a drink. It just felt TOO cool. That sounds silly and picky, but I like a salon to be… simple and pretty and professional looking with candles and soft music, not cool with neon signs and techno music. (probably wasn’t even techno?!!) Anyway.
The décor and lateness aside the finished result was nice and the prices were brilliant — £20 for glitter gel toes is really good. And looking at other reviews I think if this is your kind of place then go for it. I think it just wasn’t for me. But for the price, who knows I may venture back for some Christmas nails. I’ll just be aware now that it’s not for a relaxing mani/​pedi!

I absolutely love this place, and get my nails done here as often as possible.
You are instantly made to feel at home from the second you walk through the door.
The décor is an Instagram fans dream.
I would thoroughly recommend this place, and have done to everyone who will listen to me

I adore having my nails done, just that little bit of pampering is enough to make me smile for the whole day. So when I booked a little trip home, I just had to check out the coolest new nail bar in town. Actually, calling it a nail bar is under selling it. It’s a super cool salon where you can get your nails, make up or henna on.
If like me you’re an Instagram nail art obsessive then you’ll know all about DIY nails decals and their founder Tammy — this is the lovely lady who has opened Naf! The décor is super cool and the girls are so welcoming and friendly — more like hanging out with friends rather than a nail appointment. Tammy managed to expertly repair my broken nail (sob!) and give me some beautiful glittery nails. Tammy even managed to enlighten me to the cheap megatrain offers — legend!
Go here for professional super cute nails, girly hangs and brilliant chat.

This might be the most instagram friendly place in Glasgow, yes really. It’s incredible. Tammy Koslowski is the owner of both NAF Salon and DIY Nails. As in the nail decals that have just been featured in Vogue.
NAF Salon opened up last week and after seeing it all over instagram from all the Glasgow Bloggers, I decided to try it out. The salon is super easy to find, up two flights of stairs in Central Chambers. You walk in to find 4 nail bars, a hair bar, two pedicure chairs, and a huge lounging area complete with netflix and magazines. The décor is great, personal favourite was the emoji decals on the windows.
I came in wanting a file and polish for a reasonable 10quid, but got persuaded to have gel nails, since they offer free soak offs. Tammy was super friendly and chatty throughout doing my nails, and her attention to detail on the treatment was second to none. I went for hot pink with white glitter over. I love them. 20quid for the gel nails, in the city centre is pretty reasonable. The polish brand used was gelish, but the wall was lined with all colours of normal polish. They also offer acyrlic nails and so much glitter.
If you need some girly TLC, this is the place to go!
