Book an appointment with one of our nail techs today!
Gel nails
Whether you want plain colour or stand-out nail art, we are the nail salon for you. Experienced in both traditional gel polish and BIAB manicures, give your natural nails the chance to grow with protective, yet on-trend manicures.
For extra strength, builder gel can be applied underneath the colour. Or opt for a clean BIAB manicure for a more neutral look or add swirls, patterns, lettering and more with one of our nail techs.
Gel nails can be soaked off and re-done every 2-4 weeks and BIAB manicures can be infilled every 2-4 weeks, with a soak-off being advised every 3 infills.
Acrylic nails
For ultimate strength and a crisp shape, opt for acrylic nails.
Similarly to gel nails, an acrylic manicure can last up to 4 weeks and be infilled, with a soak-off every 3 visits.
If you don’t want to wait for your natural nails to grow out, acrylic nails can instantly extend and perfect your nails for a uniform look. Pick out your gel colour or nail art design and our nail techs will work their magic, giving you claws to be proud of.
To remove acrylic nails before your fresh set, your nail tech will gently file off the top layer of gel polish and reduce any bulk, before wrapping them in foil and leaving them to soak with acetone-filled cotton balls - the perfect time to sit back and relax.
You’ll then be ready for your next set!
Nail extensions
If your natural nails need a helping hand, nail extensions are the treatment for you. Using gel-X technology, we can extend your nail as much as you like, giving you claws to be proud of.
With Gel-X, we apply a clear tip flush to your nail and cure it with a UV light to secure it to the nail bed. We can then file it into your desired shape and length and top with gel polish for a look that lasts.
Unlike other manicures, gel-x nails are removed and replaced every 3-4 weeks to maintain their strength and shape.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you offer french nails?
>Clean, timeless and goes with every look. A French manicure is the ultimate option when it comes to nails. With a range of base colours to match your skin tone, french nails are simple but effective.
We’ll prep your nails and cuticles to create a clean surface before applying a gel polish or BIAB base and a thin white tip where your natural nail bed would end.
Keep it classic or make a statement with coloured tips, chrome finishes or a geometric shape - the world is your oyster with a set of French nails.

How long do nails last?
>The longevity of your nails depends on the type you choose and how well you take care of them.
Typically, nails – be it builder gel, regular gel polish or acrylic – will last for around 2-3 weeks before you’ll need an infill.
To ensure your nails last as long as possible, you should:
- Apply cuticle oil daily
- Wear gloves when cleaning, gardening or participating in other tasks/hobbies that could potentially damage your nails
- Don't pick or peel your nails if you experience lifting, make an appointment to have them repaired instead
- Try not to file your nails unless absolutely necessary, and if you need to, file gently downwards

How often should I get my nails done?
>The frequency of your nail appointments depends on a couple of different factors, including how fast your nails grow, wear and tear, and how committed you are to maintenance.
To keep on top of your nails with BIAB, gel polish or acrylic, it’s recommended to get them done once every 2-3 weeks.
If you don’t mind a little growth showing, have slow-growing nails, or don’t experience lifting or cracking, you could go for three weeks between appointments.
However, if you have fast-growing nails, work in a hands-on kind of job, are a serial nail-biter (we see you!), or simply like to keep signs of growth at bay, it’s best to come in every two weeks.

What happens if one of my nails cracks?
>Whether you bite or pick your nails, they’re naturally brittle, or you’re just a little bit clumsy, cracks can happen to the best of us, and at any time.
It’s an all too familiar (and frustrating) experience, but we’re here for you when the time comes.
If your nail cracks or breaks, leave it as is and give us a call to book in for a repair.
Do not remove the rest of the nail yourself – as this could cause damage to your natural nail underneath – and file down any rough edges gently until you can make it to the salon.
At your appointment, our nail technicians will assess the casualty and patch things up as best they can – you won’t be able to tell it was broken in the first place!
