A manicure without polish: well-groomed hands need no colour
Do you like your natural nails but wish their shape and surrounding skin looked more cared for? That is what a manicure is for. At my salon it is a complete service in its own right, with the same attention to detail as a colourful set.

When might this be right for you?
You like your natural nails and want a tidy shape, cared-for surrounding skin and a natural finish. Suitable for women and men, for everyday wear and special occasions alike.
I also recommend it to grooms before a wedding: hands feature prominently in ring-exchange photos and close-ups.
Why is colour not essential to well-groomed hands?
A tidy shape and carefully cared-for skin around the nails can make a noticeable difference on their own. The change need not be dramatic: often the beauty lies in a natural result that shows a little care. Women and men can equally enjoy that feeling.
At a wedding, ring exchanges and close-up photographs put hands in the spotlight, which is why I also recommend a manicure to grooms. But you do not need a special occasion. Wanting your hands to feel neater in everyday life is reason enough to make time for them.
What can you expect at my salon?
I shape your nails, shorten them if needed and carefully tidy the surrounding skin. Oil or hand cream completes the treatment.
If you would like more shine, a clear gel top coat is available by prior arrangement. It looks natural, but it is still a coating.
What should you include when booking?
If you are wearing gel polish or extensions that you want removed, choose product removal. A manicure is included, so there is no need to book it twice.
