Nail Art - Tier 3

Nail Art

We all need quiet time sometimes, I know I do. Add this option if you want to put your headphones in and block out the world or just chill in silence without having to ask at the time of appointment.
I just ask for 5 minutes of your time for consultation so we are on the same page of what you want from your service then its your time to relax without pressure of talking

Silent Appointment 

If you break a nail, or rip the corner of it, and don’t want to book in for a repair between sets just pop a plaster over it until your next appointment and I can repair it for you using the best product option for your nail set so it matches in terms of shape and length!

This option is for the fix of a single nail as an add-on to your usual service, if you require more than 1 nail to be repaired, please book this service in for each nail that needs to be fixed. 

Please note if this nail has broken, or chipped within 5 days of application, this nail fix will be free! 

If you would like to book a repair between sets, please contact me!

Removal of product from another salon

Treat yourself to a revitalizing hand scrub and relaxing massage after your service followed by the standard hot towel and cuticle oil.
