Reviews of So Fab London

M. S.

I absolutely cannot recommend So Fab London enough! I LOVE this destination for all my needs. You are offered a complimentary tea/coffee as you come in and settle down, and you are never feeling rushed at all. (A little bird told me that around Christmas, Prosecco is the norm!) The door is always locked, and people must ring the doorbell and be invited in to gain access. As someone that is super cautious, I'm always feeling comfortable and at ease. I love this little touch to the business, honestly. On top of that, the atmosphere is chic and super cozy! I personally have always had my appointments with Eleni, and every single time, she LITERALLY nails it! She's extremely down to earth, has so much experience and knows exactly what she's talking about. She is more than happy to talk through all the steps and the hows/whys for curious minds. Any requests I've ever had, she has been able to meet them fully. She triple checks the nail art to make sure I'm happy with it before securing the design. I could go on all day about how wonderful this spot is - but you should go and see for yourself. I won't go anywhere else for my Bio Sculpture. Don't be afraid to do something different or crazy - the So Fab team will OWN it!

K. M.

The team of ladies at So Fab know their stuff, are talented and creative and have good chat too! If you’ve never had Bio Sculpture before, it’s a must for healthy nails. I never had my nails professionally done before, they are brittle and don’t grow. But with the tailored manicure of Bio Sculpture they are stronger than ever and actually grow. No damage on the nail beds either even after over a year of manicures.

S. S.

I absolutely loved So Fab London! I wish this was in my home town because I would definitely be a regular! Eleni was so responsive when we were messaging prior to the appointment, and she was even more pleasant in person. She did an amazing job doing Bio Sculpture on my nails and also educated me about the product. I highly recommend to anyone!

S. C.

Very professional and gentle, I had the best time there while she did my nails. If you are looking for where to do your nails that's the place for you . Also the lady respond very fast to my questions before I arrive to my appointment. Easy to get here there is a public transportation nearby.

V. K.

Absolutely, without doubt, the best salon I've ever been to. So welcoming, professional and clean. My Bio Sculpture nails are always perfect and last for aaaaages. Waxing is swift with dignity in tact! I cannot recommend this place enough

G. M.

I stumbled upon So Fab almost by accident, and me and my nails have never looked back! I really wanted to try Biogel to help improve my nail health and luckily So Fab was one of the only salons in London to offer this. I get so many comments on my nails now and I direct everyone to the ladies at So Fab! Not only are my nails the healthiest and longest they have ever been, but I now genuinely look forward to getting them done and the experience at So Fab. Their attention to detail and care for your nails is unparalleled to anywhere else I've been.

K. M.

I've been coming to SO FAB for more than 3 years and I can't even explain how happy I am to have found such an incredible Salon. I had never experienced that level of service and professionalism anywhere else in the past even though I've lived in different countries. Eleni & Sagita are truly amazing, talented, always very thorough, responsive, delicate, detailed-oriented and flexible. I probably experienced most of the treatments they offer in 3 years (Manucure, Pedicure, Bio Sculpture, Facial, LVL, Waxing etc...) and I've never been disappointed, it was always perfect. Thanks to the lovely ladies, my skin and my nails have been keeping very healthy. When you come for your appointment, you feel like home with a cozy feeling, and a warm welcoming. You never feel rushed, and you really feel you're being taken care of. It became my go-to place to have some time for me to relax and take care of myself. Bonus: Eleni has been here for such a long time in the area that she knows it inside-out and she will give you great tips in the area about places to go. Also, she is super responsive over text messaging and will make it work to offer you some flexibility with your diary. Don't hesitate more, it should definitely become your go-to place as well, you'll love it :)

N. L.

We had the most wonderful experience at SoFab in Islington, Eleni is an excellent beautician, super professional, kind, gentle and tasteful. The clinic is very clean, light and bright and the treatment chairs were very comfortable. We had a Pedicure and Bio Sculpture Manicure, and Eleni and her colleague did an amazing job beautiful aesthetic and pleasant. We are tourists, been twice already and will definitely return on our next visit to London.

p.

If you're tired with the service and quality of work offered by your local run of the mill high street nail salon I highly recommend you make an appointment with this fabulous salon, simply because it's SO FAB! Run don't walk - book today!

S. J. W.

Excellent salon with very knowledgeable staff who really know nail care - first time using bio scuplture and my nails already feel stronger and healthier!

C. R.

I am beyond happy with my first experience at So Fab! I booked last minute and they so kindly squeeze me. They were extremely friendly and welcoming and their customer service was probably one of the best I've experienced whilst getting my nails done. To top it all of they use Bio sculpture which is extremely hard to find a salon in London that uses this product. It's vegan, Cruelty free, better for your nails and lasts soooo much longer! I literally can not fault it and I will definitely be returning! Thank you so much xxxx

M. T.

So Fab are wonderful! Having only visited the salon twice for bio sculpture, I have been beyond impressed with not only the quality of my nails but also the amazing service So Fab provide. On both occasions I have been warmly welcomed into the salon, and nicely relaxed into my treatment - there is never any rush, and throughout you are made to feel like their priority (Thanks Eleni!!!!). I can't wait to revisit and also try out their other treatments. Couldn't imagine going anywhere else, 100% would recommend to all!!!

Y. A.

I discovered the salon by pure chance, was browsing the treatment I needed in the area ans came across So Fab. I thought the reviews must be fake, it’s impossible to get 5 stars from everyone. Luckily I trusted myself and anyway decided to come there. Thank you so much Elini for the treatment! I will definitely come back. The salon is a small family business, and the quality is impeccable. Clean, pleasant, professional, and passionate about what she is doing. Was absolutely pleasure so I decided to leave a review as well. Highly recommended!

S. S.

It can be daunting finding a new salon but the So Fab team are so friendly, flexible & absolute pros! By far the best Brazilian I've ever had (technique, products & results are just 👌🏻) and I'm a big fan of the BioSculpture nails too; they last at least three weeks & my nail beds feel great :) I honestly look forward to getting my treatments done here & won't go anywhere else - Thank you ladies for being So Fab!

M. P.

I’ve used So Fab for many years now and wouldn’t go anywhere else. I am always made to feel ‘at home’ when having treatments done. Products used are all high quality adding that little bit of luxury, and the Salon is always immaculate. Owners and staff are professional and friendly. I’ve had most treatments that So Fab has to offer and can honestly say, their waxing is second to none. Facials, massage, manicures and pedicures are all wonderful too!

H. D.

I have been coming to So Fabulous for over 8 years now & they are, well.... So Fabulous. All the treatments are great (shellac, bio sculpture, waxing, facials, massage etc) & the staff are lovely. Always patient while I try & decide which of the many colours to have!!!! I always look forward to my appointment as its like catching up with friends. Keep up the good work guys.

E. B.

I am a new client as I have only found the SoFab salon recently, but the brilliant customer service and amazing treatments offered by their professional team means I will definitely be returning. Elenni is fantastic and makes a huge effort with every single customer, getting to know them all and finding out what works for them individually. The level of customer service she provides is second to none and the amazing care she takes over each and every treatment is brilliant. I’ve been searching for a great bio sculpture salon in London for a while and now that I’ve found So Fab I will definitely be going back regularly, even though it means travelling from the other side of London! I have never had so many compliments about my nails - a fantastic salon and brilliant service.

K. M.

I got in touch with So Fab having been let down by another salon the week before my wedding, and was so impressed by the care and quality of service I received. So Fab bent over backwards to fit in my treatments - they even got in a new bio sculpture nail colour for me- they were kind and calm, fun and committed to providing for me the day before my wedding. And the treatments were all excellent. I would definitely recommend them and will certainly be using them for any treatments going forward.

C. R.

I’ve been going to So Fab for 8 years and I love it. After years of acrylics and biting my nails they were in a terrible condition! After just a few visits to the salon my nails became much healthier and stronger and 8 years on I have never had anotheir set of acrylic. As well as manicures and pedicures, I’ve had facials, massages and regular waxing which are all 10/10. Eleni and the team are friendly, polite and professional. Fab by name Fab by nature!

C. F.

So Fab more than lives up to its name. Eleni and the team are the best. I wouldn’t get my waxing or nails done anywhere else. I cannot recommend them enough. When I moved out of the area I tried other places but in no time at all I was back in So Fab. When you find a great place, why go anywhere else, even if it means a commute. I consider So Fab more than a brilliant team, they are my family. Thank you all.

S. G.

2021 UPDATE - So Fab is still absolutely Fabulous!!! Would HIGHLY recommend to any beauty newbies or seasoned professionals! You won’t be disappointed in the service offered. Let’s support our small businesses during this troublesome time. Once lockdowns lift, don’t be a scary HAIRY Mary!! 😂 So Fab is Oh So Fabulous! Was recommended by a colleague a couple of years ago and haven't been anywhere else for my pampering since. I was a nervous wreck after booking my first intimate wax, but when the dreaded day arrived, it couldn't have been further from what I anticipated! Had my first wax with gorgeous Eleni who is the definition of a professional. Within minutes my fears vanished as she discussed with me what she was going to do, what products she'd be using and encouraged any questions I may have. Being a disposable razor disciple, there were many! When it got down to the painful part, it was no where near as bad as I thought. Eleni used different oils to soothe the skin and we chatted throughout the entire process, before I knew it I was done! My 2nd intimate wax was with lovely Yasmin who matched Eleni in professionalism and skill in every way so I need not worry who to book an appointment with. I've also had acrylic nails for 14 years straight, but recently had them taken off and let So Fab loose on them! Best decision ever! They have given my nails the TLC needed and not only do they look gorgeous but are really healthy now too. Thanks Eleni, Yasmin and the So Fab team for the wonderful pampering experience you provide! I'll never go anywhere else! Xx

F.

I have been going to So Fab for a few years now and have always been really pleased with the waxing and nails. The biosculpture is fantastic and lasts for a month! I recently had a facial which was incredible - my skin was glowing afterwards, and the treatment is really relaxing. The service is super friendly and always professional. I won't go anywhere else now!

D. L.

I've been coming to So Fab for 5 years, I travel in from Croydon, they are that good! Eleni and the team are always so welcoming and friendly and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my waxing. The service is outstanding and my Bio Sculpture nails always look perfect and last for weeks. So Fab is FABULOUS and I couldn't recommend it more.

B.

I’ve been coming to So Fab for a few years now and I’m never stopping. I don’t even live close by but would rather travel here than go ANYWHERE else. From my very first wax, they were SO patient with me (can you imagine how stressed I was), up until today, the customer service is impeccable. Every treatment is done to perfection with the highest quality products. They make me feel so comfortable and at ease. Honestly, if you’re looking for a treatment, look no further and book now! You will not be disappointed!

c. p.

This salon lives up to its name. Eleni and Sabrina are a fantastic team. I was introduced to Bio Sculpture nails at So Fab by Eleni last year and have not looked back. Your nails last longer and look better than other varnishes I've tried. Eleni is so friendly, always makes you feel at home, and her application and specifications as to how you like your nails is perfect. I could never go anywhere else! Now I need to try their facials!! Thanks Eleni and Sabrina!

R. D.

Best Salon in London! So Fab is literally that... SO FAB! Everyone is amazing and you truly feel pampered and well looked after every time you leave. No job is too big or small. Bio sculpture is my new fave and it is so fun trying new combos and colours. Eleni is amazing! Please visit you wont regret it :)

P. R.

I have been going to So Fab for well over a decade now and they never miss a beat! Products they use, quality of service, back massage while you wait and of course the carefully selected therapists who are trained to perfection by the lovely Eleni - everything about them ticks all the boxes for me. Go there once and the So Fab team will have you coming back for more.

C. a. S.

I have been coming to the salon for nearly 10 years now, and cannot speak highly enough of Eleni, Garry and the So Fab team. They offer impeccable, professional and efficient service, using only products of the highest quality. The customer is always their priority, and they take the time to welcome everyone, put you at ease and talk you through your requirements. The salon environment is the perfect combination of comfort, style and cleanliness. An oasis in the middle of London!

S. N.

No matter, if you are looking for a great place for a long-lasting and healthy manicure or pedicure (“normal” or shellac), a waxing or massage, So Fabulous is simply fabulous! I went to So Fabulous the first time in summer 2013 and I have come back since. The team is super friendly, extremely knowledgeable, working professional and very hygienic plus it is an absolutely joy to relax in their surroundings. Now, I moved to the Netherlands and I can’t express how much I miss going there. I wish they would have a spa in the Netherlands, especially since I haven’t found one that is So Fabulous as they are! Thank you for everything and I will surely schedule an appointment next time I am in London. Keep it up, you guys rock!

D. M.

Before finding So Fab I had given up on getting my nails done at salons - my nails always chipped. But So Fab introduced me to Bio Sculpture and my manicure lasted without chipping for nearly 3 weeks. Lovely and friendly salon and always good for a chat. I'll be booking in again soon.

A. H.

Absolutely exceptional service in a gorgeous salon. Way beyond any experience I've had in London: I left with perfect nails and lots of advice on how to keep my manicure looking pristine for as long as possible. BioSculpture is highly recommended for healthy nails, and I'll be returning to get mine done again with So Fab's extraordinary care, expertise and attention.

D. W.

I have been coming to so fab to be waxed for over two years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else (I had to have A Brazilian in Brazil when I was on holiday and even the Brazilians themselves don’t offer a service like so fab!) they are SO quick but also thorough. The salon itself is clean, and the staff are so professional and lovely i actually look forward to my wax appointments!

R. P.

I have been a client of this salon for around 7 or 8 years now (felt it’s about time I finally wrote a review!) and always leave feeling fabulous. Whether I’m having my nails done or getting waxed the service is incomparable. Wonderful team, friendly, professional and highly skilled. You won’t be disappointed!

M. M.

No 1 salon in London. AMAZING. The name says it all. Fabulous salon, fabulous owners and therapists, fabulous service. I have been So Fabulous client for over 4 years and always enjoy relaxing atmosphere and professional and hygienic service at reasonable prices and with great offers. Having had some bad experiences in the past in other salons, I will never look for anywhere else to have my pedicure, manicure, tinting and waxing done. Thank you So Fabulous Team. You rock.

L. M.

I've been going to So Fab for almost 9 years now! I've moved houses several times but keep going there not only because the treatments are great (I've tried almost everything but go more often for my Bio Sculpture manicure or waxing), but also because Eleni and the team are wonderful people. I couldn't recommend it more!

E. H.

I've been going to So Fab ever since I moved to the neighbourhood 5 years ago. Not only has Eleni and her wonderful team provided the most professional, caring service, but they've also made me feel welcome in King's Cross. I go knowing that not only will I get an excellent treatment, but I'll also get some tips of the best new spots to try in the neighbourhood, etc. Eleni and the team are warm and gracious. They know when to chat, and when not to. I would go as far as to say I look forward to waxing!

L. M.

I have been going to So Fab every fortnight since 2010 for Bio Sculpture manicures and pedicures. They are always perfect. But that's just part of the experience - every time I'm made to feel welcome by the friendly team, who are professional to the core and lovely people. Congratulations on 10 years of So Fab!

I. M.

So Fab is my new home. They are so flexible with me and do their best to accommodate my requests. I love their service, they really look after you. My manicures are perfect and last up to four weeks! (Using bio sculpture)

L. C.

The most welcoming, warm and professional team you'll come across in London. Have been an avid fan for over five years now and wouldn't go anywhere else for my Bio Sculpture. Have also had So Fab facials, massages, pedicures and eyelash extensions and loved the experience and results of each treatment. Difficult to put into words how much I enjoy my visits!

S. P.

So Fab London are beyond fabulous! Customers are treated with the upmost respect and dignity, and all staff members are beyond professional. Eleni, Yasmine and Garry do an amazing job of all the treatments on offer and I can’t fault them! I travel a long way to see them as I trust them and their products are wonderdul! This salon is a gem near Kings Cross and I can not recommend them highly enough! Thank your So Fab for being just that.... FAB!

S. W.

The salon is always immaculate and staff are lovely. The products used are high quality- I have a bio sculpture manicure and I am always pleased with the treatment. I highly recommend the salon- this has been the best bio sculpture manicure I’ve had in London.

Z. M.

I have been going to So Fab for many years and, like majority of their clients, would not think of entrusting my nails to anyone else. Rain or shine, I am always greeted with a smile and a mean cuppa! These guys are friendly, professional and always have their clients' interests at heart. Why would I go anywhere else?

S. A.

Love SoFabulous! I’ve been coming here since it opened and I don’t have a single complaint! The staff are friendly, professional and pleasant. Their waxes are great! As well as their bio sculpture & facials. They use great skincare and wax brands.

E. P.

I had my first visit just over 6 months ago and I just keep coming back for more. This is by far the best waxing I have ever had and I've been going to different places for 20 years! The attention to detail means that you never wake up the next day with annoying strays and I seem to be able to go longer and longer between waxes as a result. Well worth the money. Once you've tried it you'll agree.

R. M.

I’ve been going to So Fab for my waxing and treatments for about 9 years now! Eleni is quite literally a miracle worker! She not only provides the highest quality treatments she’s also incredibly discreet, professional and always goes the extra mile to meet my needs/requirements/timings etc! Today she had me holiday ready within 3 hours! Waxed, LVLd, AND mani’d and Luxe pedi’d. I left feeling totally relaxed, pampered and completely preened for my holiday. Thank you Eleni!

h. f.

My favourite ever beauty salon. Great friendly service everytime. I never trust anyone else quite as much with my nails and eyebrows. Very excited about having some pre-wedding pampering in a couple of weeks. Whilst I’m getting married in South Wales I couldn’t imagine anyone else helping me get ready for my big day.

H. T.

After several bad experiences or just generally painful waxes, the service at So Fab is a revelation!!! As pain free as waxes can be (they use a different kind of wax that doesn’t attach to the skin, only the hair). Eleni is an amazing professional and makes the experience comfortable and quick (massive bonus point!). Can’t recommend enough

M. L.

Absolutely Brilliant. Beyond happy. Only had a nail fix that in 3 days was fully healed. The service should be made an example of how to treat customers. Extremely happy customer. UPDATE: After exceptional service received previously although small decided to risk & try the LVL Lashes with tint. Female SIGITA done for me & once again WOW....insanely good!!! Even stated to owner that whatever she’s doing to carry on as all staff are absolutely amazing. Cannot speak highly enough & will admit that am not easily pleased at all but they have restored my faith in workers having respect not just in the job but in themselves professionally hence service so well. Thank You doesn’t seem enough but will definitely return & advertise whenever I can.

J.

Immaculately clean, very professional, great salon. Very happy with my manicure. Will be coming back. Highly recommended.

P.

As I moved to the UK a couple of years ago, I was looking for a similar experience as back home, and was a bit scared to get those services done in a foreign country. However, at SoFab, I was more than happy with the results and the overall experience. The staff are really nice and welcoming, they are also very professional and the place is nice and relaxing!

A. B.

I cannot wait for the salon to open again. I am new to Bio-Sculpt nails and have become a huge fan. I ordered the removal kit online and it worked wonderfully. They even posted a a how to video on instagram. Perfect for beginners. And they shared a photo of my nails. I am a star!

R. S.

Fabulous service, nothing but honest and helpful and very informative. The staff ensure you are aware of what is best for you, and i have felt nothing but helped when using their services. The environment is always clean and the products are of a high standard. I highly recommend giving this salon a try.

E. G.

Just had a very nice waxing experience at So Fab. Super efficient, very thoughtful service, clean and pleasant environment to be treated in. It even felt less painful than treatments at other places - perhaps because it was ripped off so confidently and smoothly. Sensible prices too. Lives right up to its name. Thank you!

C. S.

I've been going to SoFab for waxing for over a year and can't recommend it enough! It is always clean, and so friendly and welcoming. Great treatments and a great service.
