A few sets recently. Huge thanks again for everyone who has moved their appointments whilst I recover from the dreaded virus that’s doing the rounds at the moment. I’m back to work but still a bit tired so excuse me if I’m a bit quieter than normal. The salon has had a little change around over the last week which has been lovely to clear the air after being ill - anyone else do that? Am so rubbish at sitting still and resting but actually sometimes you just have to listen to your body and slow down a little. So for now it’s back to work, easy dinners, early nights and lots of nail inspo being saved ready for Halloween 🎃 👻 🧙. Hope your all having a good week so far, look forward to catching up with you all over the next few weeks xx

Back to school for these hands. Summer has gone by and we are now onto the next chapter of 2026. I have been busy behind the scenes cleaning and sorting the salon and creating some new nail art. If you are yet to book in for September please do drop me a message and we can get you in the diary with something lovely to look forward to. Xx

Lovely morning doing mother daughter nails for their holiday to Greece. Followed by a luxury pedicure for a relaxing way to spend the morning. I have space for 2 people in the salon so it can be the perfect way to catch up whilst you have your nails done or simply spend time together.
