Aftercare
Keep nails short for a few weeks and oil them daily while they grow out stronger.
About the price
Prices start where the menu says. Long nails, art, or soaking off gel or acrylic from another salon can add time and cost. We quote it first.
How we keep gel gentle
Read all six hygiene standards- Metal tools are scrubbed, cleaned in an ultrasonic bath, then sterilised in an autoclave, a steam machine like the one a dental office uses.
- They come to your station sealed in a pouch with a strip that changes colour only after a full cycle. We open it in front of you.
- Files, buffers, and orange sticks are single-use. Yours goes home with you or in the bin.
- Lamps are timed to the product we use, so your hands are never under the light longer than the gel needs.

Sample review
“Came in with peeling gel from another salon. They soaked it off properly and told me my nails needed a month off gel. Honest advice, and they were right.”
