An hour that is only about your hands.

A small nail lounge on Magnolia Park Plaza. We work slowly, we sterilise everything to hospital standard, and we would rather protect your natural nail than rush a set.

The lounge

Slow on purpose

We book fewer people per day than most salons. It costs us something and it is the whole point of the place.

Every appointment starts with a warm soak and ends with a hand or foot massage, and nobody is being moved along to make room for the next booking. Tea or sparkling water, whichever you want.

Tools are autoclaved between every client. We use breathable, 5-free polishes and soak-off removal rather than filing extensions away, because the nail you leave with matters more than the set.

  • Sterilisation Autoclave for every tool, single-use files and buffers.
  • Removal Gentle soak-off only. We will not drill a set off your natural nail.
  • Vegan Vegan and 5-free polishes available across every colour family.
  • Access Step-free entrance, and two stations that fit a wheelchair without a transfer.

What clients say

The cleanest, calmest nail lounge I have been in. Three full weeks on my gel and not a single chip.
Naomi B.Rated 5 out of 5. Gel manicure
Best Gel-X I have had. They are so careful with my natural nails and the shape is right every time.
Sasha L.Rated 5 out of 5. Gel-X extensions
Took my mother for her birthday and she cried during the pedicure. We rebooked before we left.
