What we do
Manicure
Shape, cuticles, hands and a colour that goes on properly.
Gel polish
Two to three weeks of colour that survives washing up, soaked off gently when it is time.
Builder gel
Strength over your own nail, for people who want length without extensions.
Extensions
Gel or acrylic, applied thin enough to look like your own, in any shape you like.
Infills
Every three weeks or so, so a set can be kept going rather than started again.
Pedicure
Feet looked after properly, including the hard skin nobody enjoys admitting to.
Repairs
One broken nail fixed without redoing the set.
Removal
Yours or somebody else's, soaked off and the nail treated afterwards.
Nail art
From one line to the whole set — French, chrome, cat eye — priced by what it takes.
Hand and foot treatments
Paraffin, scrubs and massage for hands that have had a hard winter.
Before an occasion
A wedding, a holiday or an interview — booked early so there is time.
The short version
Clean between every client
Tools sterilised, files and buffers new or yours, kept in your own box.
Prepared properly
Most of the hour is the preparation. That is why it lasts.
Removal done right
Soaked off, never scraped or picked, so the nail underneath stays whole.
Told the time and the price
Both before we start, so nothing is a surprise at the end.
Work from the studio
Sets done here, with the clients' permission.

The studioAn hour that is actually yours
Nails are a small thing that changes how you feel about your hands all month, so we take the time: cuticles tidied, shape agreed, colour chosen in the light rather than from a photograph.
We will tell you honestly when your nails need a rest, and what to do for a fortnight instead.
