Fantastic experience: Megan was incredibly professional, talented, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. The attention to detail, precision, and creativity were amazing. Highly recommend.
Thank you Dylan
Fantastic experience: Max is an incredible nail artist! I tend to go a little more low key then a lot of the nails they do but no matter what plan I want Max is great to throw ideas to and discuss to get the most beautiful nails! So far I have had 4 sets of nails the first two (stars and flowers) were right at the start of their nails journey and they were incredible right from the start. My favourite are definitely my ocean themed press on ones which I've worn many times! They come in a lovely plastic box so stay protected between uses. Max is so friendly and inclusive you can chat away to them or just sit quietly and watch a show together. I've already planned out the next two sets that I want!!! Can't wait
Thank you Holly
Fantastic experience: I came in for a consultation with Katie to discuss a tattoo idea. Firstly, the studio is so welcoming and bright, you can tell the staff love working here. I could tell within seconds Katie understood what I wanted and took my idea and made it 10x better! She suggested a placement that worked way better than where I initially said. I felt completely at ease and had that instant rapport with her and cannot wait to start the work!!
Amazing to hear thank you Liv
Fantastic experience: i had my leg tattooed by lindsay over two sessions, and honestly there’s nobody else i would’ve wanted to spend 12 hours with haha ☺️ the atmosphere here is so relaxed and welcoming, and i’m so so happy with how my tattoo turned out!! will be coming back for sure
Thank you Zoe!
Fantastic experience: Had the pleasure of being tattooed many times by Lindsay(think she’s done around 15 of my tattoos now) she’s so friendly and polite and we always have a laugh with great conversation She’s such a talented artist and I will forever be a client whenever other staff have been in the studio they have been super nice and helpful too Wish I could give more than a 5 star review because it honestly deserves it Here below are some photos of the work I’ve had done
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Always have a lovely experience at the studio and with Lindsay!!
Thank you - Lindsay is brilliant
Fantastic experience: Always have the most amazing, I’m always made to feel so welcome and don’t have to worry at any point when I’m there. Plus Lindsay is my favourite person ever so always a joy to see her
Amazing to hear that thank you Lillie
Fantastic experience: Had the best experience getting my leg tattoo here. Lindsay made sure I was comfortable at all times, especially cause I was getting a big piece and everyone was super welcoming in the studio and the vibes were incredible.
Thank you Bea
Fantastic experience: I can’t express enough how much I enjoyed working with LinesByLinds, part of the Shallows Studeo creative community. She was super friendly and made sure my comfort was top priority. My tattoo came out amazing and I look forward to working with her as well as more artists from the studios in the future.
Lindsay is great and her tattoos are
Negative experience: went in for a walk in tattoo as they advertise it everywhere and the woman on the desk was very rude and passive aggressive saying they had no availability for today and the future either. would not recommend
Hi Ty; sorry to hear this. As a walk in studio we often get fully booked; but we always recommend artists offer another appointment on another day, and try to accommodate any request.
Would you mind sending an email with the time and date of your visit so we can help you further? Thanks for the feedback, we always take it seriously
Negative experience: Terrible service with my girlfriend, walk in service advertised everywhere on their instagram but once we walked in were greeted with only rude staff and told no one doing walk in tattoos.
Hi James
We do offer walk in tattoos but availability depends on artist schedules and we always offer alternatives.
I’d like to identify when you visited, can you contact the studio directly if you wish to discuss it?
Many thanks
Shallows
Fantastic experience: Had a brilliant time with Maximal Nails (Max). Go my first set in a while opting for gel-x, and the feel so strong. Max was lovely from pre-appointment answering my most random questions and concerns, to consult where we brought my vision to life together, and then the actual nails where every step was explained to me as it would happen. Throughout the nail design Max would check in at every step, and ask if I liked it so far, offering their expertise on what would happen if we, for example, added another coat of polish. He was patient with me whilst I decided on the length, because I really didnt want to compromise on the shape, but needed them shorter. Then on the more intricate design areas, they would listen to my ideas and then suggested further by finding images to show me different ways my idea could be realised. Thank so much Max, as I said then, I am OBSSESSED with the nails and so is everyone around me
Thank you for reviewing our nail services with Max! We really appreciate the feedback and Max is wonderful. Nails are looking beautiful x
Fantastic experience: I got my nails done by maximal nails at shallows and it was such a lovely experience ! The nails came out better than i had imagined and had the opportunity to give my thoughts throughout the process, I will definitely be back thank you !!
Max is brilliant, we’re so lucky to have them. Thank you for the review and we look forward to seeing you again soon x shallows
Fantastic experience: I’ve been getting my nails done with Max for a few months now and they are great! Always pays so much attention to detail and makes sure the nails are exactly how I want. The best!
Max is wonderful, thank you so much for the review on your nails
Fantastic experience: Visited Shallows for the first time today for a tattoo. Great atmosphere, really chill vibes and just a cool space. Everyone's really welcoming and friendly. Been coming to Meg for tattoos for a while and she's recently moved to Shallows. Can't recommend her enough!! Her tattoos are always gorgeous. Highly recommend her if you're after a pin up girl or women's face tattoo. Came for a Lilith tattoo today, was particularly painful and Meg was so reassuring and encouraging the whole time and I'm so glad I pushed through because it's stunning
We’re so excited to have Meg here, thank you so much for the gorgeous review x
Fantastic experience: Got my nails done by Max (@maximal.nails on insta) last Friday. Still look absolutely gorg and Max was super lovely :))
Thank you very much for the feedback - we appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Julia at Beauty Tales Studio for several years now, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I love coming to Shallows, there’s always something going on, from tattoos to nails and hair. It’s such a vibrant, welcoming place to visit. I usually book in with Julia for classic lashes as they’re my favourite, but over the years I’ve also had hybrids, Russians, lash lifts and brows done by her. Every single time, she absolutely nails it. My lashes always look incredible and she genuinely makes me feel like a new woman after every appointment. Not only is she amazing at what she does, but you also get a little free therapy session while you’re lying there so it’s the best kind of self-care. I honestly can’t recommend her enough. If you want the best lashes in Manchester, this is the place to go.
Thank you for the review. Julia is amazing at lashes, and we’re so glad you love the studio too
Fantastic experience: julia is literally the best person i have met in my life, she is so talented at lashes and brows, a genuinely lovely person, and all round amazing <3 top tier lady in my life x
That’s wonderful feedback - Julia’s lashes are the best
Fantastic experience: Julia (@beauty.tales.studio) is genuinely the best in the lash business, would never go to anyone else!! Every set is personalised to your face, doesn’t matter if I ask for light or heavier lashes, they always look amazing and she puts so much thought into the whole thing. Also such a kind, funny person to spend time with, my fave foreverrr!!
Thank you Megan for the review!
Fantastic experience: This is an amazing studio! I always get my lashes done by Julia who is an absolute artist, and I’ve had some brilliant tattoos done there too. Everyone is super friendly, professional, inclusive and talented
Thank you for the feedback it’s amazing to hear you love your tattoos and lashes!
Fantastic experience: julia is the best lash / brow tech!!!! she takes so much care in her work and you always leave feeling the best version of yourself. chats are also 10/10 xx
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback Francesca
Fantastic experience: I love Shallows, Ive had a few beauty treatments there but I Julia is the goat! I feel like a new woman everytime I leave her lash bed. ❤️
Thank you, Julia is the goat
Fantastic experience: Julia is the best lash tech, her attention to detail is next level and she creates the most stunning sets
Thank you Elen!
Fantastic experience: I wouldn’t trust anyone other than Julia at beautytales to touch my lashes since having them done at shallows! (Ps. They even survived 3 weeks of sun cream and insane heat in the Philippines)
Julia is second to none - thank you
Fantastic experience: Julia is absolutely amazing. Been going to her for over a year now, great service, great lashes and just a great gal xx
Thank you for the feedback on lashes and Julia
Fantastic experience: Monthly visitor to Julia for a while now, I'm never going to go anywhere else for my brows and lashes. Amazing work every single time and lovely company as well
She’s the goat
Fantastic experience: I came to Tegan for a wolf cut and she was absolutely amazing!! I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted but she gave me a really in depth consultation, looking at my hair currently, my reference photos, photos of previous cuts etc and helped me work out what we were going for. I also have wavy hair and have struggled to style it properly, but Tegan cut and styled it to really bring out my waves and recommended products/a routine to suit my hair type! She got so much texture out of my hair and I’ve never seen it so curly. I’m used to hairdressers just blow drying my hair and putting lots of products in that aren’t suited to my hair type and make it feel heavy, and this was the first time I’ve walked out of a salon 100% happy with my hair, with it actually styled to suit me and feeling so silky! Tegan creates such a comfortable atmosphere and is so attentive to your individual needs. I can’t wait to be back again, thank u soooo much <33
Amazing review, thank you so much for stopping by. We’re glad you loved it
Fantastic experience: absolutely obsessed with Shallows and especially Max! They are one of the loveliest people ever and always make me feel super comfortable! As someone who’s only just started getting their nails done, they explain everything and make sure i’m happy always! Could not recommend them enough, already excited for what we create next
Amazing to hear you love your nails and the experience- thank you so much for the review
Fantastic experience: Had the coolest nails done by the amazing & creative @maximal.nails - highly recommend!
Max is amazing - thank you for the review
Fantastic experience: Had my tattoo done by Paige today, she is so kind and respectful and the studio was so clean. All of the staff are so supportive of eachother and their clients and it is so welcoming
Hi! Amazing to hear; that’s what we hope for
Fantastic experience: i came here to get a matching tattoo with my friend and it was a lovely and calm experience they make sure the placement is perfect and it's a very lovely atmosphere i also had my nails done by maximal nails who i found through shallows and i usually dislike going to salons for my nails as it's loud, bright and overstimulating for my autism personally but getting them done at maximal nails was the complete opposite experience. it was relaxing, quiet and a lovely atmosphere and the perfect place to get my nails done as i wasn't incredibly drained after and we could work in silence and also have good conversation. i was comfortable well looked after and the nails are amazing, i'll definitely be back!!
We are morally opposed to the big light as ND people; we absolutely agree! Thanks for the brilliant review on Max Hal’s tech services x
Fantastic experience: Rude hair was amazing as per usual - friendly, funny, kind, sweet, and sexy
Thank you Sam
Fantastic experience: Had my conch and tragus pierced by Georgia. She was incredible! Super friendly, accommodating, and very knowledgeable. I got answers to all my questions and she was overall the best piercer I’ve been to. She was incredibly hygienic and professional. The studio was also lovely and atmospheric. Super pleased, I highly recommend!
She’s amazing, we maintain the highest standards especially where skin piercing is concerned! Thank you for stopping by
Fantastic experience: Alana-Rose was awesome. Got some finger tattoos and I was pretty nervous. Alana Rose was really quick, and it was less painful than I imagined. Love her work and a really nice person.
Alana is fast as lightning and really technically skilled at tattoo! We appreciate you stopping by to review us too
Fantastic experience: Just finished getting 6 tats from Katie and both the results and service were better than I'd expected. Super warm, accommodating and straightforward. Highly recommend! (Tattoo in picture is slightly unclear due to second skin sleeve on top)
Thank you so much - love those tattoos as well, Katie is an OG and we adore x
Fantastic experience: Have been to see Tegan for hair and Max for my nails and they're both absolutely fantastic. Really relaxed vibe at the Shallows and feel really comfortable there. Recommend super highly to everyone I know :)
Thank you so much Mary

Fantastic experience: After years of hairdressers not listening to what i wanted i finally found the amazing althairfairy (Tegan) - now my hair is PERFECT! I’ll never go anywhere else, Tegan is super friendly chatty and welcoming. But if you’re having a quiet day she’ll accommodate if you want to just sit and not chat. Perfect service and perfect hair - very happy :)

Thank you Megan

That’s what we’re here for! Amazing to hear
Fantastic experience: I’ve had several services done at shallows and every single one of them has been a dream, I’ve had hair cuts from Tegan, tattoos from Laura and my brows done by Julia. Everyone that works here is super sweet and lovely and I deffo recommend
Tattoos, hair and brows - it’s the dream
Fantastic experience: Meliza was super lovely and patient with me im not someone who gets their nails done often so kept twitching and smudging them and she still managed to fix all the damage id done and be patient and understanding!
Thank you for the review Paige
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Meliza (Celestial Nails) for gel x since August and I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else! She smashes it every time! I get so many compliments on my nails, her work is just amazing. She is the loveliest person ever too, I look forward to my nail appointments every month. I would 100% recommend her over and over. She is the best of the best
She’s brilliant! Thank you so much for the review
Fantastic experience: Meliza gave me what I asked for and so much more! There was so much attention to detail and making my designs just so special for me. I am delighted with my experience and will be coming back for more!
We look forward to seeing you back
Fantastic experience: Meliza is the most incredible nail artist, she did the most amazing armour-inspired nails for me and I got so many compliments. Would never go to anyone else!
Thanks, Meliza is amazing - appreciate the nail review!
Fantastic experience: Nail tech Meliza did (and always does) an outstandinggggg job. Always come away with nails I love that last ages. Highly recommend!! She’s one talented diva
A total diva - both senses - thanks for reviewing our nail services
Fantastic experience: Meliza at Celestial Nails has transformed my nails from bitten down stumps to absolutely gorgeous, healthy, and always stylish BIAB baddies in under a year. She’s amazing with nail health and care and education, and also with making you feel relaxed. Before her I had never gotten my nails done and was worried about asking for shorter nails on one hand for the girls (IYKYK) but she’s super inclusive. I love her designs and creativity so much that I let her have free rein to try new designs and let her creativity flow free, that’s how much I trust her. I wouldn’t go to anyone else
That is amazing to hear - we love a nail health transformation! Thank you Sally
Fantastic experience: I’ve had my nails done multiple times by Meliza / Celestial Nails and she smashes it everytime! Most recently I came in for NYE nails and i wasn’t completely sure what i wanted aside from french tips. She took me through all the options, showed me different colours, different finishes, different extension lengths, and even gems that could be added. Had a great experience from start to finish that felt completely personal to me, and ended up with even better nails than I went in hoping for. She added a gorgeous sparkly topcoat to make them pop for Christmas and new years! Super friendly, easy to talk to, and great service all round. Would recommend to everyone! And the nails lasted so well!
Thank you so much for the review, we’re glad to hear you love your nails!
Fantastic experience: I wanted to start getting biab again after a year break and I came across Hannah (@by.hannah.nails). I was looking for someone who didn’t use e-files on the natural nail for the first appointment (I’d had some bad experiences in the past) and she said though she usually does, she would be able to do this manually for me, which was really kind. When I arrived she had put a little package together to prepare the nails for the biab without using the electric file which I found very thoughtful. She was careful and considerate the whole appointment, taking her time and making sure it was all perfect. I recently went back for an infill appointment and it was the same experience again. I’ve never had anyone take such care with my nails - she is absolutely fab and does such amazing design work too!! Would recommend to anyone and everyone - thank you!! ☺️
Thank you Ciara
Fantastic experience: Have been tattooed by Laila (l.i.l.tattoo) a few times now, and every time is a joy! I have had machine & hand poke tattoos from them and all have healed beautifully. Incredible artist, lovely human, talented tattooer - can highly recommend!
Thanks so much Samantha that’s great to hear
Fantastic experience: I don't know what kinda witchcraft went down last night, but Beth (Barnetsbybeth) was absolutely incredible. Went in to get some highlights done, and as someone who's been messing with and messing up their hair colour for years, she was super upfront and honest with the potential result I might get, which I was more then happy with. I ended up leaving with honestly the most incredible hair colour I've had! So well done, so much time and care and energy, and she managed to lift my hair to the most beautiful blonde highlights, I couldn't be more happy! Plus, she's an absolute gem and lovely to spend the time with!! Beth - you are absolutely magic and I can't wait to come back to you for future touch ups!!
Thank you for the lovely review - we love beth too!
Fantastic experience: Ive had such a struggle with my hair in the past and hair dressers have never been able to cut it the way I like- I’ve been coming to Tegan for a little while now and she absolutely never fails to disappoint ❤️ couldn’t recommend more
so good to hear, thank you for the review
Fantastic experience: Tegan is absolutely amazing , so creative and talented. Not only is she a bombshell she is a fantastic stylist . Can’t wait for next time
A total babe thank u Grady
Fantastic experience: Tegan gave me the best haircut I've had in years, really listened to what I was after and provided top notch service! Will be going back for my colour and cut this year ready for Download festival! - Leigh
Thanks for coming in and reviewing us!
Fantastic experience: Had an amazing time with Meliza ! I don’t get my nails done often , but she made me feel confident and had a nice chat :)
Thank you for coming in for your nails and for the lovely review
Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend this place enough, everyone is so lovely and so welcoming ✨ I’ve been here for a haircut with Tegan (thealthairfairy), a tattoo from Liala (l.i.l. tattoo) and nails from Meliza (celestial nails) and I can’t wait to come back for more
Thank you so much for the review!
Fantastic experience: Had such a great haircut from Beth, she's a perfectionist with colour! My mum was so jealous of my new hair she got me to book her an appointment with Beth too and she was so happy with the results. Would highly recommend her services
Ahh amazing to hear thank you Kyla!
Fantastic experience: A very professional amazing artist she completely makes me feel fabulous. My nails were on for nearly a month just a really good experience with my girl and I highly recommend you come and get your nails done with her. Plus, she is an entertainer so we have the best chats makes the appointment go faster!!! Love my girl Meliza !!!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Came in to get my hair coloured with Tegan and couldn’t be happier! I asked for white hair and it’s the first time EVER I have walked away from a salon happy with my hair! Thank you so much queen of my life Tegalon
She’s amazing
Fantastic experience: I had no idea what i wanted for my hair when i was feeling impulsive and tegan advised me into a really good choice, amazing hairstylist will probably be going back again xx
Thank you Savannah
Fantastic experience: Can't recommend Shallows enough! I've been going for a while initially for nails but have recently started going for hair via barnetsbybethx - I was initially quite nervous to start going to someone new but the second you walk into to Shallow you feel so welcomed and put at ease by everyone there. Beth herself is so talented (along with the whole team !!) and made the whole experience as smooth as possible (accompanied with some top tier yap x) - cannot recommend her and Shallows enough if I tried !!! 10/10 xo
Thank you so much for this amazing review
Fantastic experience: Teagan was very good! It was my first time getting my hair cut at an actual hair salon and they made my experience a 10/10! They talked me through the steps of my hair cut, listened to all my hair concerns and made me feel less anxious about the whole thing. Walked away with the best haircut I've ever had! Definitely a recommend :D
Fantastic experience: Tegan (theAltfairy) is THE BEST! We travel all the way from Blackpool for her, and have 0 regrets… ever! She nails the style every time, is so easy to talk to, and has the best alt creative style and vibe going. 5* all day ✨
Perfect! That’s great to hear we love Tegan
Fantastic experience: Shallows is amazing as a whole, as soon as you walk in you feel welcomed, there’s so much going on inside the building and vibes it’s too good not to come back again. Lindsay did my rib tattoo and it was amazing, great work and lovely person, we talked the whole appointment like we’d met before. So lovely and will be back soon
I’m so glad it comes across that way - thank you for stopping by
Fantastic experience: Love love getting my hair done with Tegan - I always look a hundred times cooler leaving than when I came in and it just feels like catching up with a mate which makes a long appointment go really quick. Immaculate vibes ✨
Immaculate review thank you
Fantastic experience: Tegan is amazing!! so lovely and always makes my hair look incredible, and makes me feel comfortable as a neurodivergent girlie. would 100% recommend!!
Thank you Georgina
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love it here. So many options to get your hair done or any other beauty treatments. All of the staff are lovely and friendly and the venue is brilliant and very aesthetic. Had my hair done by both Phoebe (rude hair) and Tegan (Alt Hair Fairy) who are both incredible and do different things based on your proce points and needs.
Thank you so much Mars - wish I had a name as cool as urs tho ✨
Fantastic experience: Lovely salon with a very cool vibe. All the staff that I met were friendly and helpful and weren’t phased by my age, even though most of them were decades younger than me.
You only become more iconic with age - thank you for the review Coralie
Fantastic experience: Tegan helped fix my hair and get it in good condition, but also still managed to give me bright red hair which everyone always compliments me on and nobody can believe how long it lasts as it literally doesn’t fade ever! Can’t wait to come back :)
Getting red to stay is something else. So glad you are happy - see you soon
Fantastic experience: My appointment with Tegan was a raging success. I arrived for my appointment a sad little mop of a person, and lo and behold I am now a new woman! Thank you Tegan for your wonderful service. An inspiration wrapped in shiny chaotic packaging xx
Chaotic good is what we aim for - than you Annie
Fantastic experience: Teagan is so sweet and accompanying, and completely understood my vision. I always leave the chair feeling so cute and happy with my hair. She pays attention to even the small details!
Thank you for coming in and for the great review
Fantastic experience: Tegan always does an amazing job on my haircut . Highly recommended
Thank you Lyndsey
Fantastic experience: I recently got my hair cut off one of shallows amazing hair dressers Beth. Beth did an amazing job of advising and explaining a style that complimented my face structure while listening to exactly what I wanted. Considering I have partial dreadlocks Beth did a beautiful job. After only having my hair cut by a mobile hairdresser Beth and her team made me feel welcomed and put my anxiety at ease. Beth is a creative alternative hairstylist, using vintage and modern styles to create personally unique look for every individual she encounters. If you're looking for an alternative hairstyles stylist that has experience in "crazy" hair colours definitely look up Beth's portfolio on Instagram @barnetsbybethx you will not regret. X
Thank you so much - we love Beth too, she’s brilliant
Fantastic experience: Tegan is the best! She has done my hair 2x now and they've both been the best haircuts i've ever had! plus she's so lovely and easy to talk to
Thank you Freya!
Fantastic experience: Had a 2 hour bottomless session with @l.i.l.tattoo (Liala) and the tattoos look incredible!! I’m very new to tattoos and she went through the sizing and position for each one making sure I was happy with all of them. Felt really comfortable the whole session and given aftercare advice and sheet afterwards. Really pleased with them and the whole experience!!
Thank you for coming for our bottomless/walk in tattoos. It’s really important we are efficient and take our time to do the work. Hope to see you again soon! X
Fantastic experience: Hannahs done my nails a few times now (by.hannah.nails on instagram) shes so talented and takes so much pride and care in her work + amazing retention!
We’re really lucky to have Hannah with us! Thank you for stopping to review us too
Fantastic experience: Brilliant service by Paige! Walked in, wet through, fresh off the plane from Germany. After watching my team, Chelsea women, play in the Champions League, my favourite player Lucy Bronze signed my arm. Paige fit me in straight away and tattooed my shoulder with Lucy’s autograph. Very friendly, clean and accommodating. I felt very comfortable and the tattoo has healed perfectly. Thanks Paige, I love it
Amazing thank you Sam
Fantastic experience: Had the best experience getting a tattoo at Shallows with Annie! Such a great environment, choice of flash and customisation. Annie made the experience absolutely amazing. She was very patient with me (because I was an absolute wuss over the pain), was really helpful with design placement and sizing. Not to mention that she is such a lovely artist! Very bubbly and friendly and made the experience so much fun! Will definitely be back soon!
Amazing to hear thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Monica (Artistry by Mon) is amazing! A real perfectionist, taking her time to ensure I was happy evey step of the way, friendly, welcoming and such a relaxing experience. Her work is gorgeous, very happy. The whole studio has a relaxed, welcoming vibe. Every artist has a smile for everyone, always a lovely experience.
Thank you Helena that’s great to hear
Fantastic experience: I hadn't had my nails done for a while due to bad experiences elsewhere. I went to Meliza (celestial nails) first in September 2025 and couldn't imagine going anywhere else! I told her that I wanted to eventually grow my own natural nails to be able to use biab. She started with gel X and after 2 appointments I finally have the long, strong nails I've always wanted! Meliza made me feel so relaxed and had me laughing 5 minutes into the first appointment. Her work ethic and attention to detail matches her infectious personality. I honestly cannot recommend her enough!
She’s a babe, thank you Sacha
Fantastic experience: Meliza is the best nail tech ever, always leave loving my new set more than the last, from someone with little to no nails before starting getting builder gel, they have grown amazingly. Best service also, literally have a new bestie to chit chat with every three weeks 10/10
We love Meliza! Thank you
Fantastic experience: Been here a few times to get my nails done by Meliza and she is an absolute goddess at it, absolutely lovely during the appointments and talked me through the processes and different nail options when i first reached out as i didn’t know what anything was. completely welcomes any unique nail ideas and listens for any changes wanted throughout. the whole studio has an amazing vibe to it and i’ve felt comfortable every time i’ve been in and anyone else i’ve interacted with has also been lovely :)
An absolute goddess, thank you
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to shallows for well over a year now for various tattoos and piercings, ive always felt really welcome by all the staff, they’re super friendly and chatty, im always excited to go in. The reason I started going to shallows was Alana, she’s tattooed me for about 4 years and I’ve probably had over 100 hours of work from her, she is always professional, cleanly and she is an all round incredible artist. If you like traditional tattoos I can’t recommend her enough!!
Thanks so much for the review, Louis and we love Alana too
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place!! Super friendly staff that make you feel at home Big up to Alana! She's done about 4 of my tattoos already and always buzzing to get more from her. Her own style is awesome, and is happy to get out of her own style to try others. In love with my sleeve and can't wait to get it finished! My go-to tattoo artist Big up to Teagan! Always happy and bubbly, and makes people feel comfortable very quickly even when nerves kick in. My go-to hairdresser! 11/10 can't recommend The Shallows enough
Billy thank you - you’re the kind of person that makes us get up in the morning - back at u x
Edit: Joel told me this is weird but I’m doubling down on it
Fantastic experience: I've been getting my nails done my Meliza at @celestialnailsuk at Shallows for a few months now and she is simply radiant in her skill as a nail tech and personality! ♡
Meliza is everything! Thank you so much for the review
Fantastic experience: Had my first tattoo done by paige and the design she did for me was better then I was first imagining of asking for. She made it 10x more pleasant aswell for me as she was a little chatter box. 10 out of 10 would recommend any day and time. I wanted just one tattoo now she's made even start planning more so I shall be returning
We’ve only had Paige here a couple of weeks but she is already a favourite. Thanks so much for stopping by x see you soon!
Fantastic experience: Had some very gorgeous nails done by Meliza at Celestial Nails. Such a beautiful place and good vibes all round xoxo
Meliza is the thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Amazing tattoo studio with many amazing artists. Alana helped me finish a large chest piece that I've been waiting 5 years to get done, even fixing mistakes made by previous artists. I loved the shop atmosphere as it helped to calm my nerves, honestly I can't sing their praises enough. I'd call it the best tattoo shop that you haven't heard of.
Liam that’s amazing to hear thank you so much for the review it means the world to us
Fantastic experience: Thanks to Joel for decorating my massive ears with 4 pericings! Joel was able to help me visualise a plan for how I want my ears to look, I had not had a pericing in over 5 years out of fear, but Joel was really patient, making sure I was comfortable and fully informed during the process. All have healed beautifully and I expect I'll be getting a new one very soon! Thanks again
Lthank you so much beautiful- come again soon
Fantastic experience: I recently went to Paige for my back tattoo and I can honestly say this was the best tattoo experience I’ve ever had. I’ve had a few off Paige in the past and she’s always made me feel calm and comfortable, especially considering I can get anxious in unfamiliar settings with lots of people. She always manages to put a smile on your face and gets a good giggle out of you too, plus she makes sure to check in on you throughout the session. Not many artists I’ve found genuinely listen like Paige does, it’s always as if she goes above and beyond because the design ideas I bring to her come out better than expected every time. She’s someone I can wholly trust with something so permanent, and I always look forward to my next appointments with her. If you’re looking to get some new ink, I’d 10000% recommend Paige, she’s the best artist all around and the loveliest person too! I wouldn’t go to anyone else
Paige is incredible- we agree! Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope to see you soon
