Thoroughly recommend! 
"I have been going to Karen for about 6 years and wouldn't go anywhere else. She is very welcoming and I always look forward to my appointments and spending time with her. I have a professional job with little time to pamper myself but she is very flexible and accommodating. My nails always look great for work and lovely out of work too. Thoroughly recommend!"

Outstanding 
"I have been with Karen for 7 years now. I absolutely love the way she does my nails, she does exactly what you ask for. In the 7 years she had never cancelled or let me down. If I have a problem with one of my nails, extremely rarely, she comes back without hesitation. I have my nails done every 3 weeks and they still look in perfect condition. I would thoroughly recommend Fingerbobs for a truly professional service."

Professional Nail Technician with a friendly easy going nature
"So glad I found Karen. With all her years of experience you know you are in good hands. Right from the off, the kettle was on and you felt right at home. 
As I had a posh wedding London I have come away with hands to envy, such a brilliant job, time taken to make sure I got just what I wanted. Nails extended to a suitable length, shaped to my liking and even matched to the dress for the wedding day. Such a wonderful experience and will recommend Karen to all my friends. 
Check her out for a great job."

Lovely nails, lovely lady 
"Karen did a beautiful job of my fingers and toes for my brothers wedding. I had gel polish which has lasted two weeks on my finger nails before chipping, my toes are still going strong. I am absolutely amazed at how good they have been as I really abuse my hands, always washing dishes, cleaning without gloves and getting mucky with two little ones. I have no doubt that if I took more care of them they would have lasted even longer. I will definitely be having them done again and would highly recommend Karen to others. She is an absolutely lovely person who made me feel very comfortable, she was very accommodating to my need and a delight to talk too. The result was stunning nails and a very happy customer."

Beautiful nails and first class service 
"I contacted Karen after I had a manicure with her the last time I travelled to the IOW. The return visit didn't disappoint. I brought a friend too and we were both welcomed warmly. Karen managed to shape and sort out my overgrown cuticles with ease! Both of us are delighted with the perfect quality of the polish on our nails and will be back the next time we visit Cowes. We would highly recommend."

Fabulous lady and fabulous nails! 
"At 44 I was a 'nail' virgin - never even having had a manicure before. So I went in at the deep end with a seasonal glitter bling red. I am fully converted and have booked my next appointment. I will never have nail envy again. Karen is a lovely lady offering a very personable and professional service in her home or yours. Thank you so much!"

Lovely nails 
"I had never had a manicure before and wanted my nails to be nice for a forthcoming wedding. They were always breaking and looked awful. After just one visit to Karen I was proud of my nails and now after 3 visits they continue to look long and glamorous. I had the Gellish system and it really does last! Karen is a lovely lady who makes you feel comfortable from the first meeting."

Great Advice...
"Been having my nails done by Karen for over seven years. Her attention to details is second to none! My nails were in an awful state due to other technicians over buffing my nails. They had become really thin. Karen's valuable experience and advise helped my nails back to good health. She was so concerned about my nails and was determined to get them looking great. I'm back to wearing extensions again. I have had over the years gel and acrylic nails. My nails always look great and still maintain their health".

Highly Recommended!!!! 
"I first got my nails done as a one off treat for my birthday in July, I found Karen's add in the yellow pages. As soon as she answered the phone I realised she was the lady I wanted to book with. As I was a student with little money and had to get the bus, she offered to meet me in Newport whenever convenient for me. I felt welcome and at ease straight a way and she did an amazing job with my acrylics.

A few months later when I was in employment I rang her again to arrange gel tips, she fitted me into her schedule for two days later, at almost half the price of most salons. Once again I was extremely pleased. I now save my money each month to get the gel nail polish she offers. I am now a consistent customer and never consider looking elsewhere. I am so pleased to have found someone so easily to get along with, having a good gossip at each appointment, finding that as well as getting lovely nails each month, I have also found a friend. I would recommend Karen to anyone looking at getting there nails done, as she offers a variety of treatments for any occasion with flexibility to fit anyone's routine, and they always receive endless compliments."

"I thought I would try having my nails done once as I used to do them myself. I'm amazed how they look so good for two weeks. They last over a holiday so I don't need to take varnish with me. It is a friendly, professional service giving nail care advice when necessary and I am now a 'regular'."

Absolutely Love It!
"I tried the Gelish system and I absolutely love it. I have never had my nails so long. My natural nails always break but with this system they stay long and strong. I can't wear extensions so this is a fab system for me. The gel nail varnish stays looking glossy and chip free for over two weeks. Karen does a fabulous job on them. Always making sure I'm completely happy. I would definitely recommend Gelish and Karen".
