Came for a spruce up for a Charity Ball today. Had my eyelashes tinted and curled, eyebrows tinted and shaped and then chilled with a gorgeous hot chocolate while Louise sorted my nails out. Three hours of total relaxation as I just switch off when I walk in the salon. I always leave as a different woman in more ways than one. Thanks Lou xxx

I've been going to Louise for about a year for my nails, every two weeks excluding lockdowns. I honestly would not go anywhere else now, every fortnight my treatment is tailored to what I need at the time whether it's extra cuticle work, extra moisturising for my extremely dry hands or intricate nail art. I look forward to my Saturday mornings with Louise, its like having a cuppa and a natter with a friend with the added bonus of a pampering. It's clear that cleanliness and hygiene is a top priority for Louise meaning even in these unprecedented times I have always felt safe visiting Prism. X

After so many months in lockdown, it was a real treat to have a luxury pedicure and pretty toenails and tidy eyebrows. Thank you, Louise, as always.

Yet another fabulous experience at Louise’s salon. As always, very Covid compliant but also still allowing for that luxurious pamper. Had my nails done for the first time with Louise and she certainly didn’t disappoint. Great choices available and Louise paid particular attention detail to ensure I was happy with the final result. Safe to say, this won’t be my last visit.

If I could give more stars I would! Can’t thank Louise enough for how refreshed she makes me feel by the time I leave after my treatments. I had the Snowberry Candle Massage, Facial and Pink Gin Pedicure (which is a fav) and my skin feels amazing. Already booked in for my next appointments because I’m sick of missing out when she is fully booked.

My time with Louise is always special and the nails she makes for me just get better and better. She knows what I like and always gives top quality results that people continue to comment on when I’m out. I don’t know what I’d do without her!

Gel Nails FAQs
Gel nails cost between £5 and £32 in Houghtonside.
Once you’ve had gel nails applied, they should remain chip-free for between 2-3 weeks.
Although gel manicures look beautiful, they can cause your natural nails to become brittle. The American Academy of Dermatology reports that repeated use of gel nails can increase the risk of skin cancer and the premature ageing of skin on the hands.
Gel and shellac nails both cure under UV light, but their composition is different. Gel nail polish is a lacquer made from acrylic monomers and oligomers; shellac polish is part gel, part regular nail polish, and is a patented brand by Creative Nail Design (CND). Both give a high shine and long-lasting finish.
Gel nails tend to give a more natural and glossier finish than acrylic nails; they are cured under a UV lamp and last for around 2 weeks. Acrylic nails are stronger than gels and start to cure as soon as they’re exposed to air; they generally last for 6-8 weeks but will need fills after 2 weeks to hide regrowth. Both can be used to lengthen nails and both can damage your natural nails.
Once every 2 weeks. Gel nails cure (harden) in UV light; this means they continue to cure in natural sunlight. The longer you keep your polish on, the longer it cures and the harder it is to remove. To reduce the risk of stripping and damaging your nails, it’s recommended that you book in with an experienced nail technician to remove and redo your gel nail polish every 2 weeks.
