FAQ
-
We do not offer pedicure services.
-
All services are completed using our e-file (electric file). This magic piece of equipment provides the best cuticle prep and allows us to complete our advanced services. I am fully qualified (Certificate III in Nail Technology) and will take great care of your nails and cuticles.
If you are nervous about the use of an e-file I can discuss this with you at the time of your appointment.
-
No I do not.
Gel X Extensions are similar, can be extra long, but are more gentle on the nail. However they are not as hard as acrylics so must be treated gently.
Builder gel can achieve similar results including added length.
-
I don’t use traditional tips that are glued to the nail. I offer Gel X Extensions and can build length with Builder Gel.
-
Ideal for weak and brittle nails, those looking to grow their natural nails or who want extra strength. Length can be created without applying tips.
Our recommended service.
-
An alternative to traditional nail tips, Gel X is suitable for those looking to add extra length to their nails. They are applied over the whole nail. Gel X is odourless, and as it can be soaked off, it can be removed gently with minimal dust.
-
I do have a limited range of traditional nail polish for those strongly opposed to gel products. Please note I do not offer nail art with traditional polish, only a single colour. I use vegan, non-toxic Australian made nail polish where possible.
-
This salon is a space to unwind and enjoy your time. I value mental wellbeing. The timeframes on the services I offer have been tested and well thought out.
I do not offer express services, however if you are on a tight deadline please let me know during your appointment to ensure you are out on time.
-
Yes, I have my Certificate III in Nail Technology. I’ve been trained to use products and tools safely and hygienically.
