I'm not 100% with how it is in the UK, but here generally you want to look for good reviews, but also maybe take a little bit of time online to familiarize yourself with some laws on sanitation and whatnot in your area. Where I live, the reviews for some of those little cheapo shops are good, but if you know anything about how its supposed to be kept clean, its scary.
In general though a good nail tech should:
>have a consultation with you before starting anything, this means asking what you're looking for that day, explain their processes and maybe talk about the product, and make sure you don't have any medical problems or sensitivities that might be affected by the service
>have a clean table ready when you walk in with a cloth or paper over it and clean tools
>make sure you're comfortable with everything every step, asking if the shape/length is what you want and that nothing is hurting you
>tell you what products they're using, including soaps and scrubs

A regular manicure should include any needed trimming or shaping to get your nails even, pushing back and cleaning up your cuticles, possibly a soak and scrub on your hands depending on what type of mani you've picked, polish if desired, and cuticle oil/cream or hand lotion to moisturize your hands.

This would be nice for a goth coord I think. Better than plain black.
