“’ Valentine’s nails’ have taken off hugely in 2022, bigger than any other year I’ve seen,” says Alice who has a salon in Eastbourne.
“Red and pink are definitely the colours of choice at the moment, and most of my customers have seen something they like on social media and want me to recreate the look or design something similar.
“As simple manicures look great, people want to walk around with a piece of art on their hands – and nail design has become a real talking point.”
Not just customers with Valentine’s Day plans who are after more intricate designs. Many are indulging in a self-care treat or want a design to celebrate with friends for Galentine’s Day on the 13th.

The Booksy app is free to download and use. Customers can search by service type or location and even find same-day appointments. Users receive appointment reminder notifications and can cancel or amend their booking without contacting the salon directly.
