Clean tools, every client
Every metal tool goes through the same four steps before it touches your hands again.
1
Washed
Metal tools are scrubbed in hot soapy water straight after your visit.
2
Disinfected
They soak for the full contact time in a hospital-grade disinfectant.
3
Sterilised
Sealed in a pouch and run through the autoclave; the strip on the pouch changes colour.
4
Opened at your desk
Your technician opens the pouch in front of you. Files and buffers are new and go home with you.
Your first visit
A gel manicure takes about an hour. Here is how that hour goes.

5 min
Choose
Shape, length and shade at the desk. We look at your nails and skin first.
15 min
Prepare
Old polish off, nails shaped, cuticles pushed back and tidied.
30 min
Colour
Base, two coats of colour and a top coat, each cured under the LED lamp for 60 seconds.
10 min
Finish
Cuticle oil, a check in daylight and a card with the aftercare.

Four technicians, each with the work they like best. Ask for one by name when you book, or take the first free desk.
