NAIL PARADISE

Need your nails doing before a night out or just fancy a treat? Nail Paradise in town is a solid option. Loads of my mates swear by them, and their Google rating is pretty good, 4.7 stars from over 250 reviews, so they must be doing something right. They’re open late most nights too, until 7pm Monday to Friday which is handy.

They do all the usual stuff – acrylics, gels, manicures, the whole shebang. The salon itself is pretty standard, nothing fancy, but it's clean and the staff are always friendly enough. Prices are about average for Southport, maybe a touch higher, but you get what you pay for I reckon. Plus, it's right in the centre so dead easy to get to after a bit of shopping.

I noticed they’ve tagged themselves with "golf" — which is a bit random, but Southport *is* the golf capital, so maybe they get a lot of lady golfers popping in after a round. You can check out their website nailparadise.co.uk, but honestly, their Facebook page is probably more up-to-date.

Give them a ring on 01704 537778 to book, especially if it's a Saturday as they close a bit earlier at 6pm and can get busy.
