Save this one for when you’re ready to book.

Gel nails ruin your natural nails — honestly, this one does my head in a little.

They don’t. What ruins your nails is picking them off. If you sit there peeling your gels away, yeah, you’re going to do some damage. But if you come back and have them removed properly? Your natural nails are absolutely fine.

So many people are missing out on nails they’d love because of this, and it’s such a shame.

If you’ve been put off for that reason, DM me Nails to book — I’d love to change your mind.

If you’re shaving every couple of days just to feel smooth, there is a better way. Waxing keeps you hair-free for weeks — and the more regularly you come, the finer it grows back.

No shadow, no stubble the next morning, just smooth skin that actually lasts. Message me if you have been thinking about booking in, or have any questions about waxing ❤️

I know — life is hectic and nails feel like the first thing to drop off the list.

A fresh set is one of those things that just makes you feel a bit more put together, even when everything else is chaos.

And the bonus — gel and BIAB actually protect your nails while you’re wearing them. So if yours are always breaking or never seem to grow, a good set with proper aftercare (cuticle oil, gloves for the washing up) can make a real difference.

How long your nails last comes down to a few things —. most of them happen before you even sit down.

Your nail health going in. Whether there’s any lifting from your last set. How you’ve been treating them in between. The shape that actually suits your nail bed. All of that matters before I’ve even picked up a file.

Then it’s prep — proper prep, every single time. That’s the bit that keeps them on.

I’ve been doing nails for 15 years and the sets that last are never a fluke. They’re the result of paying attention to all the boring stuff that nobody sees.

If your nails have been lifting, breaking, or just not lasting like they should — do we need to get you booked in? 💅

DM me and we’ll sort it.

I don’t know about anyone else, but as soon as I’ve had my nails done I feel like I have my life together.

There’s just something about taking an hour for yourself, switching off from the chaos, and leaving with a fresh set that makes you feel a little more more confident 🤍

If you’ve been meaning to take an hour for yourself then don’t hesitate in messaging me to get you booked in.

5 things I truly don’t care about when I’m waxing you. I have so many people apologise for either hairy legs, wearing their waxing pants or having to put the air con as they are getting a bit hot.

But honestly none of that bothers me, I’m more interested in giving you a good wax, extracting your ingrown hairs and making you feel as comfortable as possible.

Drop me a message if you would like to book in, or if you have any questions about waxing ❤️
