“I love seeing Olivia at Touchwood! My nails and brows always look amazing when I leave and I have so much confidence in her to do a great job every time. Builder gels are brilliant and last weeks. The salon is so pretty and a lovely place to be, the girls are friendly, professional and reliable. I wouldn’t go anywhere else and would highly recommend Touchwood.”

“Olivia and Kate are amazing! Both care so much about their clients and make sure you leave with the perfect results of your chosen treatment. I’ve never got a bad word to say about them. I love going to Touchwood and absolutely trust them with everyone treatment. I talk to them both like their friends and they remember everything and follow up each time so we can continue our conversations and chat whilst they work. I can tell them everything. They are both down to earth girls who love what they do and you can see that through their work. I’ll always go to Touchwood!! :D”
