Nail Extensions
Length your own nails can’t give you yet — sculpted in gel, shaped to your hand, and finished as carefully as everything else we do.
01 · WHAT IT IS
What it is.
A full set of extensions builds the length and shape you want over your natural nail. We sculpt each nail individually, matching the curve of your nail bed, then finish with the same dry cuticle work and flush gel application as a Russian manicure.
It’s a long appointment — 2 hours 45 minutes for a regular or long set, 3 hours for extra long — because ten nails are built one at a time and each has to sit right before we move on. The result reads as your nails, only longer.
Every three to four weeks, an infill rebalances the growth: we take down the regrown area, rebuild the structure and refresh the colour. From £85, it keeps a set going for months without starting again.
02 · WHY IT WORKS
Why clients choose it.
Shape chosen for your hand.
Square, almond, oval — we advise against what won't survive your week, and mean it.
Sculpted individually.
Each nail is built and checked one at a time, so the set is even from every angle.
Russian finish.
Dry cuticle work and gel flush to the base — the extension starts clean and grows out clean.
Three lengths, honest prices.
Regular £110, long £120, extra long £130. The price is the length, nothing hidden.
Infills keep it going.
Every three to four weeks from £85 — a set maintained well can run for months.
Repairs, not lectures.
Caught a nail on a car door? A single repair is from £5. It happens; come in.
03 · YOUR VISIT
Your visit, step by step.
Consultation.
Length, shape and colour, weighed against your job, your gym and your patience. Extra long is a commitment — we'll say so if we doubt it.
Preparation.
Old coating removed, cuticles done dry with the e-file, the nail plate prepped so the gel bonds properly.
The build.
Each extension is sculpted, cured and refined individually, then the set is shaped as one and finished in your colour.
Aftercare.
Cuticle oil daily, and treat the first 48 hours gently. Book your infill for three to four weeks out before you leave.
04 · PRICES
Prices.
Base prices. A single extension during a manicure — one broken nail, say — is listed under extras.
05 · GOOD TO KNOW
Questions, answered.
2 hours 45 minutes for regular and long sets, 3 hours for extra long. Each nail is sculpted individually, and we don't hurry the tenth one just because it's the tenth.
Three to four weeks between visits. With regular infills, the same set can carry on for months.
We sculpt in gel. It cures cleanly, keeps a little flex so it absorbs knocks rather than cracking, and removes more gently. If you're wearing acrylics now, we'll remove them first — it's on the price list.
Not by the extensions — by rough removal, sometimes. Ours come off with the e-file and by hand, no prying. The gel protects the nail while you wear it.
Come in — a repair is from £5 and takes about 15 minutes. It's a normal part of wearing extensions, not a failure.
Regular if you type all day, long if you want the look with some practicality, extra long if you've worn extensions before and know your habits. When in doubt, go shorter — you can always build up next set.
