Your nail destination in Liverpool
Lily on the brushes, Tom on the laughs.
Nails First is the little salon with the gold letters on St Mary’s Road — five years of full sets, BIAB and spa pedicures, with regulars who still travel back after moving away.
Inside: a colour wall that takes some choosing from, the massage chair our reviews call "a gem", and a small team who fuss over every nail — Lily on the art ("an artist at what she does", as one review puts it), Tom on the welcome.
Walk-ins are always welcome, Monday to Saturday — and if you’d rather plan ahead, booking online takes a couple of minutes. Ask about our NHS discount!

In their words
Why Garston won’t go anywhere else
Rated 4.7★ across 75 Google reviews. Here are a few of them, exactly as written.
As soon as I walked in without a booking I was greeted by a lovely man. A lady was there and ready to help me. Asked me what colours. I felt sooo relaxed. The variety of colours they have is amazing…
Jodie
The best place for nails!!! I won’t go anywhere else. Everyone always asks where I get my nails done. Lilly, Tom and all the employees are lovely and nothing is ever too much trouble for them.
