We shape your nails evenly and take care of the cuticles, which helps them grow out stronger and stops hangnails from forming.
The soak, exfoliation, and hand massage leave your hands feeling noticeably softer, especially if they tend to get dry or rough.
Gel polish lasts around 2 to 3 weeks without chipping, and even our regular polish is applied in a way that helps it hold up longer than doing it yourself.
There's something about having a hand massage and sitting still for a bit that genuinely helps you unwind. It's a nice break.
We'll start by removing any existing polish, then soak your hands in warm water to soften the cuticles. After that, we tidy up the cuticles and shape your nails to the style you want, whether that's round, square, or something in between. You'll get a hand massage with moisturiser, which is the part most people enjoy the most. Then we apply your chosen polish carefully so it goes on evenly and lasts well. The whole appointment is pretty relaxing, and you'll leave with your nails fully dry and ready to go. Express manicures take about 30 minutes, while the fuller treatments run to around 60 to 75 minutes.
Regular manicures keep your nails in better shape overall. We'll spot any issues like weak spots or dryness early and treat them before they get worse.
Well-kept nails make a difference to how your hands look, whether that matters for work, a special event, or just feeling put together.
All our tools are sterilised between clients, and proper cuticle care reduces the risk of infections or ingrown nails.
We have express, standard, and spa-level manicures, plus men's grooming options. You pick the level of service and finish that works for you.

After 20 years, we've made thousands of friends. Here's what a few of them have to say about their time with us.
"Tierra, was fantastic. Always making sure the heat of the stones and pressure she used was correct. Thank you for a lovely experience "

"Had hot stones massage today – I’d seen the offer online but we had been talking about massage in classes and it’s been far too long since I had one myself and one of my ladies visited a few weeks ago and was raving about it so I booked and it was just what I needed – thank you Kim. So nice to have one on a Saturday after a busy week. Kim was welcoming, lovely set up and enjoyable 60 minutes of self care ????????"

"My first visit and not my last. Salon was lovely and welcoming and clean and calm. Lauren was friendly and calm and waxed me quickly (because I hate it ha) and we had good chats inbetween: glad I have found a local beauty spa within walking distance of me, takes so much hassle out of trying to find one in London where I work and also one in Chelmsford town centre. Many thanks and see you soon! "

"Great beautician, very friendly and explained everything to me. I did realise for the basic pedicure o had booked, she didn’t use the foot file which would have been nice. Would definitely book her again for a treatment. "

"Amazing pedicure and gel removal with Emma. Best foot massage I’ve ever had. I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend Emma. "

"Emma took her time to listen to my bad experience from another place with having my eyebrows shaped and tinted, I explained my wedding was just days away and how I didn't want them so dark, Emma was very cautious and was really patient with me, my first experience was amazing and I look forward to returning, thank you so much Emma! "

"For longer than I can remember I’ve felt honestly quite low about how my eyebrows seemed to me, having had children it’s taken me so long to prioritise things for myself occasionally and I’m just so happy I finally did, I feel like a new woman, it’s helped me feel more confident. So happy and had such a lovely chat with Sam, who was so helpful talking to me about this first recently and giving great advice on what’s best to do"
