About Me

Hi I'm Melissa.

I'm a natural nail and gel specialist offering one-one nail care from my private studio.

Nail health always comes first, and my priority is helping clients to achieve durable, naturally healthy nails. Whether that's maintaining nail health, improving nail health with restorative treatments or supporting clients with nail biting.

My approach is personalised, so your treatment will start with a consultation focused on the health and condition of your nails. I will listen to your concerns, and what you would like to achieve, so that I can provide a fully customised treatment tailored to the unique needs of your nails.

I also offer a range of pedicure treatments designed to support nail health, skin function and comfort. These treatments provide gentle care, hydration and maintenance and are fully customised to your foot care needs.

Whatever brings you here, you'll receive a personalised treatment carried out with care, attention to detail and a focus on nail health.

To welcome you to my studio, use code WELCOME5 at checkout to get £5.00 off your first treatment.

If you're unsure which treatment is right for you, you're always welcome to get in touch for a chat about your treatment options.

Qualifications

Qualifications & Experience

  • I'm a qualified and trained professional, fully insured with The Beauty Guild to carry out all the treatments and services I provide.
  • I hold a professional diploma of advanced education in nail anatomy, product chemistry and health and safety.
  • I have trained with some of the best brands and educators in the industry and I continue to invest in my education.
  • I regularly update my knowledge and skills with additional training and refresher courses, so that I can continue to provide safe treatments with expert care.

  • I started my nail career in 2016 as a mobile technician visiting clients in Barnsley, Sheffield and Rotherham.
  • With continued education and a passion for natural nail health, my business naturally changed. I stopped offering acrylic services and extensions so I could focus on natural nail care and prescriptive gel treatments that support natural nail growth. This change allowed me to specialise, refine my skills and create a treatment menu with a focus on nail health and personalised care.
  • During the pandemic when we all had to stay at home it felt like the right time to convert my summerhouse into the private studio space that I have today.
  • My studio is set up for your comfort and wellbeing. All appointments are one - one and by appointment only to protect your treatment time and your privacy.
