Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect from a manicure appointment?
You will start with a quick chat about the look you want and how your nails are doing. We then focus on neat shaping, tidy cuticle work and a clean, polished finish. You will leave with hands that feel looked after and easy to maintain.
Who are manicures suitable for?
Manicures are suitable for most people who want smarter, healthier looking nails and well groomed hands. They work well for all ages and are a great option if you prefer a natural, understated finish. We will tailor the approach to your nail condition and day to day routine.
How should I prepare for a manicure?
If possible, arrive with clean hands and let us know about any sensitivity, splitting, or previous product on the nails. Bring inspiration if you have it, but a simple description is enough. If you have a tight schedule, tell us at the start so we can keep things running smoothly.
How do I look after my nails after a manicure?
Moisturise hands and cuticles daily and wear gloves for cleaning and washing up. Try not to use your nails as tools, as this can cause chipping and peeling. If anything feels off after your visit, get in touch for advice.
How often should I book manicures?
Most clients book regularly to keep nails tidy and in good condition, especially if nails grow quickly or hands take a lot of wear. A consistent routine helps keep the shape looking neat and makes maintenance simpler. We can suggest a realistic schedule based on your nails and lifestyle.
