My 92 year old aunt had a fabulous experience at The Cove, Hitchin; she was treated with courtesy and kindness from start to finish. Her manicured nails look wonderful and she's going to a social event this evening, knowing that her hands look super. Thank you to Zoe and her team.

My pedicure was absolutely fantastic. Wonderful attention to detail, I felt so pampered and my feet looked absolutely wonderful afterwards! 10 out of 10 for pedicure. The only thing was it was a super grey day, I’d rushed out of the house leaving my husband with the baby and after an exhausting night/day I was craving a cup of tea - and when they offered a drink I jumped at the chance of having one but left slightly disappointed when they said they had no milk 🙃 so water it was

While the staff were welcoming and friendly the services myself and my daughter chose were quite awful. I was gifted a voucher from my 7yo to use for us both for my birthday. It was only simple, a pedicure for myself & nails and toes painted with polish for my daughter. The pedicure was very basic just hot water a little foot rub with minimal salts and only one foot was filed. Now I appreciate I had damage to a couple of my toes and to be honest I was happy to leave with just a clear layer of varnish on them but was talked into having a colour polish. I explained I was very fussy with my toes and I like them to to look a particular way when painted and I knew it was unachievable with the damage to them but she just kept telling me they “look fine”. I just let her do the polish and honestly it was the most awful polish iv ever had. Regardless of the damage to my toes the polish lines were all wonky not even up to the edge of the sides of my toes, the nail tech was shaking and the polish just looked clumpy as way too much was applied. This also took about an hour just for myself - my daughter was bored by this point I assumed if a double app was booked then another member of staff would have done my daughters especially as the salon was completely empty with not another customer coming in the whole time we were there. My daughter had her nails and toes painted, no top coat applied and no drying service for either of us was offered which was odd. We were both left to leave with fresh painted polish not dry at all. Polish has unfortunately been removed as you can imagine a 7yo trying to keep her nails dry is never going to work. Usually anywhere we go there is a nail dryer for this. The polish on my toes was removed as soon as I returned home also as it just looked terrible. I just wouldn’t return or recommend when something this simple couldn’t be done to a standard. I honestly paint my own nails better than what we both left with. I was also asked inappropriate questions like “so are you having any more children” and “does her dad want any more children” I was taken back by these questions to be honest they are VERY personal things to ask someone without knowing anyone’s circumstances and it felt very uncomfortable. Like I say the staff were pleasant but the overall experience and time taken for what we wanted was just not great.
