Liv is wonderful. I’ve been going once a month for the past two months, and she’s always so gentle and welcoming. Her work is exceptional and very detailed.

I use my hands a lot for work and wash them frequently, and Liv was able to properly prep my nails so they last really well, which makes a huge difference for me. She really understands how to tailor her work to your lifestyle, which I really appreciate ❤️

It was my first time at Common Interests, and Libby was my nail tech. I was genuinely blown away. Her attention to detail is exceptional, she perfects every tiny detail and makes sure everything looks flawless. She really takes her time and truly cares about her work. I can’t wait to book with her again. Thank you so much Libby!!!

To penalise a customer for needing to cancel their appointment because of unforeseen child sickness and circumstances not within my control is insane, bearing in mind I am giving 24 hours notice (yes I did sign and ticked a box but this is the first time I have ever had to do this) - unless you want me to bring my child in and spread foot and mouth disease?

I have been going to the salon for over a year and have never missed my appointments, have encouraged others to also try it out so this is so disappointing and upsetting. To be spoken to the way I just got spoken to over the phone was extremely shocking, to be told VERY LOUDLY that they do not care about keeping me as a customer is insane. It was almost threatening and I'm in disbelief at what just happened.

Customer service needs to improve, there is clearly no 'common interest' in supporting customers who have supported you through the years.

Shanique, as a mother yourself, you know 24 hours is more notice than we ever get when looking after a child. To penalise someone and charge them, be rude to them and completely disregard their customer loyalty should be reviewed.

Owner Response:

Hi Julie

Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. I’m truly sorry to hear about your negative experience with us, especially in a time when you’re dealing with the unexpected sickness of your child. We understand that situations like this are often beyond anyone’s control, and I emphasise with you as a mother.
As a loyal client you may know, all of our staff are self-employed, which means they are responsible for their own schedules and income. Cancellations—whether from new or long-time and regular clients—put them in a difficult position, as they are often unable to fill the slot at short notice. The cancellation fee is meant to help mitigate this impact and ensure that our team is fairly compensated for their time. Our cancellation policy has been in place since May 2023 and has been clearly communicated to all of our clients. This includes being visible on our website, social media platforms, and as you mentioned as part of the final stage of the booking process where clients must acknowledge and agree to the terms to before confirming their bookings.
We understand that life happens, and we always strive to be as accommodating as possible, but the policy has been designed to ensure fairness to all clients and to help our self-employed nail technicians manage their time and income, especially in cases of last-minute cancellations.
I also want to acknowledge that the tone and treatment you experienced over the phone were not appropriate, and I apologise if you felt disrespected or dismissed. This is certainly not the level of customer service we aim to provide. We greatly value your loyalty and understand your frustration, and I will personally look into this matter to ensure better communication and a more supportive approach moving forward.
We truly appreciate the trust you’ve placed in us over the past year, and I hope we can work together to resolve this situation. If you would like to discuss this further please don’t hesitate to contact the studio to reach out directly.
Thank you for your understanding, and again, I apologise for the upset this situation has caused.
Kind regards,
Shenique

Loved my pedicure, it was excellent, and I got beautiful sparkly glittery toes that I’d seen on Instagram. The soundtrack and the chat was also awesome. Lovely place - will come back.

As soon as I got engaged I KNEW I had to book in with Common Interests for my wedding day hands and feet! I had my (quirky!) bridal manicure and pedicure done with Nique last week and was truly blown by her talent, attention-to-detail and kindness during the appointment! The whole process was so thorough (my cuticles have never looked so clean!) and so enjoyable - the salon is an absolute aesthetic VIBE. I needed to change my original appointment time around some other time-sensitive bridal appointments and Nique accommodated the change so smoothly and seamlessly - I am still incredibly grateful how it all worked out.

My mum had the absolute pleasure of having her amazing detailed manicure and pedicure done at the same time by Libby - a gorgeous, optimistic ray of sunshine who is SO talented and whose friendly attitude really left a lasting impression on our whole day.

Keep up the amazing work ladies, we'll be back!!! xx

Lady with pink hair unsociable and unfriendly. I felt extremely uncomfortable throughout my appointment. Worse set of nails I’ve ever had from the shop. Im a regular and never have experienced any type of issue.

All I can say is WOW! I’ve been coming here for 5 months and I honestly wish I found these guys sooner! I’ve always had acrylics and decided to switch to BIAB, and I know what the hype is about now! Amy always smashes any nail inspo I bring and the atmosphere in the salon is just so relaxing and welcoming! The girls are so friendly and make you feel at ease the minute you sit down! <3

I’ve been getting my nails done at Common Interests over the last year and Leah is the loveliest nail tech! The atmosphere in the salon is so fun and welcoming, and Leah’s attention to detail and talent in creating such fun designs leaves me in awe all the time. If you’re looking to start your nail journey I’d highly recommend 🥰✨💅🏻
