I’m Tara, and I run a small, welcoming nail space where creativity and self-expression take centre stage. With years of hands-on experience and a deep love for art, I’ve built an environment that’s fun, relaxed, and judgment-free. My chair is a place to feel comfortable, confident, and inspired, where individuality is always celebrated and every visit feels uplifting and personal.
