Your appointment, step by step

An appointment takes an hour and a half. This is what I do in it.

Before, a real client
  1. I start with your nails as they are. Their length, shape and the state of your cuticle tell me which service fits you.

  2. I care for your cuticles in detail with an electric file and professional bits, without water, for a clean line around every nail.

  3. I use soft gel to give short natural nails light, flexible support, and hard gel when they need more strength and structure.

  4. I finish with the solid gel color you choose. French, chrome and nail art are extras you can add when you book.

  5. I close with a hot towel and oil. You leave with glossy nails, a clean cuticle line and a finish made to last up to four weeks.
