Gigi is fabulous. Her Russian manicures easily last for 3 weeks with hardly any re-growth, my nails look gorgeous, every time! Her home salon is lovely, spotlessly clean and she has so many colours and designs to choose from. She's also a lovely person, really friendly and I look forward to my visits.

This is a lovely place that I found whilst I was trying to find my forever place. I had the luxury manicure and it was fantastic. Had a paraffin wax, cuticle work and massage done. My hands look so much better. The place is clean and well kept. You get to have your own nail file with your name written on it. Elizabeth is very professional and knows what she’s doing. She looked at my nails and explained what she was going to do. Besides, she advised me on one of my nails which has a line on it that makes it split. I booked my next appointment already and can’t wait to go back.

Manicure FAQs
Yes, absolutely. In fact, it’s common, particularly for those using regular nail polish or gel. If you’d like to give it a try, there are various different kits and pieces of equipment available to buy, but we always recommend having a manicure done by a professional to ensure you get the results you want.
It depends on the type of manicure you get. You should allow around 30 minutes for a basic manicure that uses standard nail polish; shellac and gel nail manicures take up to 45 minutes; and acrylic nail manicures take around 90 minutes.
Many nail technicians recommend once-weekly manicures to ensure your nails always look good and that your nail polish remains chip-free. However, you can get away with having manicures less often – ask your technician for their specific advice as the frequency can vary according to the nail polish used.
It greatly depends on the type of manicure you go for. Some nail technicians suggest having a manicure once a week, however Shellac, dip powder, acrylic, and gel manicures can last a lot longer. You can leave 2-3 weeks before getting your gel or Shellac manicures filled or redone; wait 3-6 weeks between dip powder manicures; and leave 6-8 weeks before having your acrylic nail manicure redone. If in doubt, ask your technician.
There are a number of different kinds of manicures available including basic (nail polish), gel, Shellac, acrylic, dip powder, French, reverse French, American, Russian, paraffin, and hot stone
It depends on the type of polish used: traditional nail polish lasts about a week, acrylic nails should last between 6-8 weeks and will need a fill every 2-3 weeks to cover regrowth. Shellac and gel nails last for 2-3 weeks.
Yes. Some types of manicures do carry risks. Cuticles could be infected if they are cut, and you could suffer with dry, weak, or brittle nails if your polish isn’t correctly removed. Ask your nail technician to talk you through the risks before you book your appointment.
