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.
"Thank you to Laura, this is the first time I have had skin boosters, Laura was very professional and went through any questions that I had, she made me feel at ease and constantly checked it to see I was feeling ok. Laura went through the whole process so I new exactly what was happening and let me know I can contact her with any questions. Thank you Laura Its only been 24 hours, I have had some lumps at the point of injection points but these are going down, Laura explained this could appear, so far I am happy with the treatment, I'm looking forward to further results over the next couple of days. Many thanks Louise "

"I’ve been having the CACI facial and Emma is brilliant. Not only is it a nice relaxing treatment, it’s given my face more elasticity and reduced my jowliness and smile lines. I didn’t actually book it for cosmetic reasons. I have temperomandibular disorder and my disc in the jaw joint is displaced, this has caused some nerve damage. I read about CACI for Bell’s palsy and wondered if it might help my TMD. I’m usually in pain most days but after 6 treatments my pain has almost disappeared and a couple of days ago the disc finally clicked back into place! I couldn’t believe it. This treatment has absolutely been worth the money. Emma is really lovely too! "

"I actually booked this appointment for my mum as an early mother's day present. She had the Japanese head spa experience and she absolutely loved it. Said how lovely and soft her hair felt and how relaxing it was and cant wait to get herself booked in again. And Helena was really lovely and made her feel really welcome and comfortable. I have now got myself booked in for the same treatment as it sounds amazing. "

"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! "
