Nails that last past the weekend

Careful preparation, clean tools and a finish that holds. Come for an hour and leave with hands you are pleased with.

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.

Work from the studio

Sets done here, with the clients' permission.

What we do

01ManicureShape, cuticles, hands and a colour that goes on properly.
02Gel polishTwo to three weeks of colour that survives washing up, soaked off gently when it is time.
03Builder gelStrength over your own nail, for people who want length without extensions.
04ExtensionsGel or acrylic, applied thin enough to look like your own, in any shape you like.
05InfillsEvery three weeks or so, so a set can be kept going rather than started again.
06PedicureFeet looked after properly, including the hard skin nobody enjoys admitting to.
07RepairsOne broken nail fixed without redoing the set.
08RemovalYours or somebody else's, soaked off and the nail treated afterwards.
09Nail artFrom one line to the whole set — French, chrome, cat eye — priced by what it takes.
10Hand and foot treatmentsParaffin, scrubs and massage for hands that have had a hard winter.
11Before an occasionA wedding, a holiday or an interview — booked early so there is time.

The short version

01Clean between every client
Tools sterilised, files and buffers new or yours, kept in your own box.
02Prepared properly
Most of the hour is the preparation. That is why it lasts.
03Removal done right
Soaked off, never scraped or picked, so the nail underneath stays whole.
04Told the time and the price
Both before we start, so nothing is a surprise at the end.
