Whether you are booking in for fresh builder gel, intricate custom nail art, or just a pre-weekend pamper, finding a nail technician you can trust with your hands is no small task.
We asked Yorkshire Evening Post readers on Facebook to nominate the single best nail salon in Leeds. Hundreds of comments poured in from across the city, championing independent technicians in Wortley, Pudsey, Crossgates, East Leeds, and the city centre.
While a few cheeky commenters suggested B&Q hardware or nominated "4-inch or 6-inch nails", the vast majority delivered glowing reviews for their go-to local artists.
Here are the most highly recommended nail salons and independent technicians in Leeds, as voted for by YEP readers.
