One of the questions we get asked most often is, “How long should I leave between appointments?”

💅🏻 Gel Polish: We recommend booking every 2–3 weeks. This helps keep your nails looking fresh while preventing lifting or chipping as your natural nails grow.

💅🏻 Builder Gel (BIAB/Builder Gel): We recommend maintenance appointments every 3–4 weeks, depending on your natural nail growth, lifestyle, and how well your nails retain the product. Waiting too long can put extra stress on the nail, increasing the risk of lifting, breakages, or damage.

It’s important to remember that everyone’s nails are different. Some people’s nails naturally hold gel for weeks without any issues, while others may experience lifting sooner. This can be influenced by factors such as nail chemistry, hormones, medications, occupation, lifestyle, and even how much your hands are exposed to water or chemicals —every client is unique and therefore may mean you need an appointment sooner than your friend does!

✨ Looking after your nails between appointments is just as important as the treatment itself and will influence how long they last.

Here are a few simple ways to keep your nails healthy and your manicure lasting longer:
• Apply cuticle oil every day to keep the nails and surrounding skin hydrated.
• Wear gloves when cleaning, gardening, or using harsh chemicals.
• Avoid using your nails as tools to open, scrape, or pick at things.
• Never pick or peel your gel, as this can remove layers of your natural nail.
• Moisturise your hands regularly to keep your nails and skin healthy.

Healthy nails are a partnership between your nail technician and you. By keeping up with regular maintenance appointments and following the right aftercare, you’ll enjoy stronger, healthier nails and beautiful results that last.
If you do have any problems in between appointments we are always happy to help sort the problem and have put a pricing guide in place which you will be able to see in the comments below 👇🏻

Skincare journey under way…..

Looking after and improving your skin isn’t like waving a magic wand. Especially when you suffer with your skin on a daily basis. Perseverance, regular facials and a good home skincare routine is the start.

This will be followed by ongoing monthly facials to carry on improving skin texture, getting breakouts under control, reduce pores and general skin health ✨

It has become necessary to fully implement a solid cancellation policy that going forward will effect everyone.

Keeping a small business going these days is no easy task. Every late cancellation gives a jolt of panic in your stomach as you know there is no time to fill it. Even with that cancellation, staff still need to be paid, gas & electric still need to be paid, rent still needs to be paid stock still needs to be bought. But that cancellation means….. no income for that hour / couple hours that you have now cancelled.
We absolutely understand things do come up in the form of health, work, childcare etc but unfortunately we still have our livelihood to think about.
Because of this and how bad late cancellations have got we will be implementing a very strict policy that regardless of the reason you have to cancel you will need to adhere to our policy, which is as follows.

We require 48 hours minimum for a cancellation (the more notice you can give us the better)

Cancelling the day before your appointment will incur a 50% charge of your treatment.

Cancelling on the day or not showing up to your appointment will incur a 100% charge of your treatment.

This is regardless of whether you re-make the appointment as the appointment you have cancelled / missed has been a loss of income to us.

No fuss made, a payment link will be sent you your mobile number where you can quickly and easily pay the fee.

Once again, this is absolutely nothing personal we know things do crop up but if you have made an appointment with us you are automatically adhering to this policy.

Our time and appointments are our income, please respect that.

Thank you 🤎

Just some juicy brow sculpt!

There has been a lot of posts floating about on professional platforms that have been addressing a certain issue that I as a professional nail tech am absolutely here for 🙌🏼

For years now it has been the dine thing to say ‘ ohh I go to so en so for my nails cos she gets them done real quick, I can get them done on my lunch break’ ….. well this is absolutely not something to be happy about.

‘Speed culture’ is ruining this industry.
Good quality TAKES TIME.

A good quality professional service is not going to whizz you out a set of nails in an hour.
If your looking for
Correct prep,
Proper application,
Rebalancing,
A properly built & sculpted apex
a high quality finish and…..
nails that last, this all takes time.
As a professional, rushing your way through a set of nails is NOT going to create quality. Speed over quality is not the way.
Care. Intention. Skill is not what we compromise 🤎

Snowflakes seem to be the one this year! ♥️❄️🎅🏼
