What we do
Six services, each done with the attention to detail clients mention in their reviews. Call to book; the salon's listing says appointments are required.
Manicure
A classic manicure keeps hands looking cared for. Nails are trimmed and shaped to the length you like, cuticles are softened and tidied, and the service finishes with your choice of polish. Clients describe the work as detailed and the service as quick without feeling rushed. Mention the shape you prefer before shaping begins, whether that's round, square, almond or something else, and pick your color from the display before you sit down so the service flows smoothly from start to finish.
Pedicure
Pedicures are one of the services clients mention most. Feet are soaked, nails are trimmed and shaped, cuticles are cared for and rough skin is smoothed before polish is applied. In the salon's quiet, calm room, a pedicure is a real chance to slow down. Wear open-toe shoes or bring sandals so fresh polish isn't smudged on the way home, and mention any foot sensitivities to your technician before the service begins.
Gel manicure
Gel polish is applied in thin layers and cured under a lamp for a glossy, chip-resistant finish that lasts longer than regular polish. It's ideal before a trip or a busy few weeks. Choose your shade before you sit down and ask about adding a design or accent nail. When it is time for a change, come back to have the gel removed properly; peeling gel off at home can take layers of your natural nail with it.
Tips + gel
Tips with gel give your nails added length and a strong, polished finish. Tips are applied and shaped to the length and style you want, then finished in gel color. It is a popular choice for anyone who wants longer nails for an event or simply for everyday style. Bring a photo of the shape and length you like, and book ahead, since a full set takes more time than a standard manicure.
Nail designs
Clients praise the salon's great designs, from simple accents to detailed sets. A French tip, a touch of shimmer, a single accent nail or a full set of patterns can change your whole look. Save a photo of a design you love and show it to your technician before you start. Detailed art takes extra time, so mention it when you call to book, and ask in the salon about the options and the cost.
Lashes
Lash services are part of the menu too, so you can take care of nails and lashes in the same place. Ask about the lash options when you call, how long the service takes and what aftercare is needed to keep them looking their best. If you have sensitive eyes or have reacted to lash products before, let the salon know before your appointment so they can advise you on what's suitable.
Signs it's time to book
Most clients find a rhythm that works for them. If any of these sound familiar, it is a good time to call.
- Polish is chipped or grown out at the base
- Gel is lifting at the edges
- Cuticles look dry or overgrown
- Feet feel rough after a long week
- An event, trip or holiday is coming up
- You want longer nails or a new design

Choosing a shape
Round & square
Practical and classic. Easy to live with on shorter natural nails, and a clean base for any color or a French tip.
Almond
Tapered sides with a soft, rounded tip. It makes fingers look longer and pairs beautifully with gel color.
Coffin
Long and tapered with a flat tip. It needs length, so it is usually done with tips and gel.
Not sure?
Show a photo of a look you like and ask your technician what will suit your hands and routine.
Make it last
A few simple habits keep your nails looking fresh between visits. Wear gloves when washing dishes or cleaning, because hot water and detergents wear down polish and dry out skin. Rub a drop of cuticle oil into each nail in the evening. Try not to use your nails as tools for opening cans or peeling labels.
With gel or tips, resist picking at any edge that starts to lift; it can damage the natural nail underneath. Call the salon instead and book a time to have it fixed or removed properly. And after a pedicure, give polish a little time to set before putting on closed shoes.
