About Nails in London
Nails in London at The Light Centre go beyond polish, with Russian and electric file manicures, luxury and medical pedicures, callus removal and toenail reconstruction all on the menu.
If you love neat, long lasting results, a Russian manicure gives very precise cuticle work, and an electric file manicure shapes and prepares nails with fine detail. IBX is a nail strengthening treatment, ideal if your nails feel weak or peel easily. For feet, you can choose a classic or luxury pedicure, or a medical or podiatric style pedicure that focuses on foot health. Callus removal tackles hard skin, toenail reconstruction rebuilds damaged nails for a tidy look, and a paraffin wax treatment softens hands and feet. The Light Centre is allergy aware, wheelchair accessible and child friendly, and walk ins are welcome.
Nail clients come from across the capital, many fitting a manicure into a lunch hour or a Saturday. Opening hours and booking details are below.
