Hi girlies! Ok, so “Julie Nails” just opened on Kings Road. I went in yesterday and they were very polite, and provided a great “American Style” (as it says on the window) mani/pedi. AND here’s the kicker- a mani is £16, a pedi is £25 and for both its £36! Which is the best price I’ve found around town….
Julie Nails (no official website) is located at
289 Kings Road
London SW3 5EW
020 735 22251
Reader Hallie recently commented on my earlier Mani/Pedi post that she goes to the one in Notting Hill, so I did some research on their other locations which are:
48 Kensington Church Street
London W8 4DA
020 7938 4883
and
91-93 Notting Hill Gate
London W11 3JZ
020 7243 4188
And here are some of my favorite polishes for fall…
Now you can go once a week!
Cheers! xx
Nice nail colors, I was just looking for a sassy purple color
If you're specifically looking for purple, Essie's “Damsel in a Dress” is also really fab! Cheers! xx
My friend showed me a place for mani/pedis for 20 quid total. Of course it is a hike, but you can get there via the 328 bus (which goes through Chelsea and Notting Hill). It is called Mina's Nails and they are at 75 Golders Green Road.
Thanks for the suggestion – I'm glad that there is a place by my flat so I don't have to do the hike every time! And please keep up the tips for fall colors and fashion!
Oooo! I am an American living in Balham and we love Julie's Nails. We have one here on Hildreth Street, been going there for ages. It is awesome, just like at home. Cheap and cheerful!

HI!- I'm an AG living in Pimlico, close to sloane square. I too have had the hardest time finding a nail place that does a quick mani/pedi for a reasonable price. I just discovered Julie's Nails this weekend, it was great, mani/pedi in 45 mins, good service….not as clean maybe as some american nail salons….not sure if the sterilized the tools? I just discovered your website, I love it! Thank you 🙂 Nicole
Thanks Nicole! x
Went to Julie's on Kings this weekend. Maybe the new shop hasn't quite gotten settled yet, but I agree with Nicole. A little less clean/spacious as other places. Lack of magazines etc was kind of a bummer too. For the extra few pounds, I'll keep seeing the nice folks at Chelsea Farmers Market Nail Boutique!
Hi AT, hmmm good to know. They must have just had a thorough clean when I went. I'm going to check them out again this week! Cheers, xx!
Girls – I highly recommend bringing your own polish and especially bring your own Seche Vite quick dry – it makes your mani last so much longer. My little trick; when I go back to NYC, I stock up on loads of OPI and Essie at Ricky's, and always bring my own to the salons. happy nails! x
Hey Hallie,
ooooo I mush try this Seche Vite business.
Totally digging your NYC trick. My bff always go to NYC for business and stocks up on polishes and quick dry stuff for all of us!
Thanks for the tips!
Happy nails!
Cheers! xx
has anyone ever found a nail place in London that has big comfy vibrating chairs with built-in jacuzzi footbaths? I'm so tired of paying a fortune for a pedicure when all they do is sit me down in a wooden chair and dunk my feet in a plastic tub! I can do that home! Any pointers, AG? And any idea if they are required by law to santize tools?
Hello Miss Fine. The Nail Boutique on Sydney Street has the type of pedi chairs you are looking for! x
There is also a great place on Lower Richmond Road (Putney – so a little further out) called Las Vegas Nails. They are very similar to Julie's Nails, slightly smaller but they do a great pedi. On a saturday they often have queues out the door, but you can usually get an appointment if you book in advance. Also, another place that has the massage chairs is opposite the Pelican Pub in Fulham, i think it's on Moore Park Road, can't remember the name. They don't look like much but do a great deal on mani/pedi!
Enjoy xx
