Getting your hair or nails done before Christmas? We’ve read the Google ratings for hairdressers, nail bars and beauty salons in and around Stratford-upon-Avon to see who customers rate most highly. The lists below are sorted by those scores, and the salons had no say in them. Nobody paid to be here, and we haven’t tried the treatments ourselves, so think of this as a place to start.

The highest-rated nail salons in Stratford-upon-Avon

|---|---|---|
| KM Nails & Spa | 5.0 (95) | Ely Street |
| The Nail Studio | 5.0 (15) | Rear of Ely Street |

| Taylor Made Nails | 4.7 (26) | Stratford Garden Centre, Campden Road |
The Nail Studio says it was established in 2004. It has fewer Google reviews than most here, so its 5.0 rests on a smaller sample than KM Nails & Spa’s.
Two of the town’s best-reviewed nail technicians work by appointment and collect their reviews on the booking site Fresha rather than Google:
- Pixiejab Nails, Bishopton: 5.0 from 403 reviews. Gel polish with a BIAB base is £42 and a soak-off is £15.
- Catherine Hovta, Clopton: 5.0 from 235 reviews. A regular pedicure is £40 and gel extensions start from £60.

We’ve left out clinics that mainly offer injectables. For those, ask who carries out the treatment and what qualifications and insurance they hold.

Getting booked in before Christmas
- Know your dates. Christmas Day is a Friday this year, so the last Saturday before it is 19 December. Ask early if you want that day or Christmas Eve, or a slot before a Christmas party.
- Allow for a skin test if you’re having colour. Both Hevans and Nashwhite ask for one at least 48 hours before a colour appointment if you’re new or haven’t had colour with them recently.
- Watch the Christmas market weekends. Six streets close from 6pm on Friday until 11.59pm on Sunday, on 27 to 29 November and 4 to 6 December, including Sheep Street, High Street and Henley Street. If your salon is on one of them, ask how best to get there and leave extra time. Wood Street, Union Street and Rother Street aren’t in the orders.
- Plan your parking. Our parking guide has every car park and price.
- Stuck for a present? Nashwhite sells digital and physical gift cards, and Hevans sells them through its booking site. Other salons may well do the same, so ask. There’s more for the season in our Christmas in Stratford guide.
How much do ratings tell you?
A rating is a useful guide, but not the whole story. A 5.0 from 15 people tells you less than a 4.8 from 200, because one unhappy customer moves a small score much more. Scores on booking sites such as Fresha and Treatwell also aren’t directly comparable with Google, so we’ve kept them separate. Before you book, read a few recent reviews from people having the same treatment as you, and look at the salon’s own photos of its work.
Ratings change all the time, and a new salon or a recent change of staff may not show yet. If we’ve missed a salon that qualifies, or you run one and something’s wrong, tell us. You can also send details and photos through our update your listing form. It’s free, and it doesn’t change your place in the lists.
