About Me

Hi I'm Melissa

I’m a natural nail specialist providing one‑to‑one natural nail services.

My approach is a little different from what you may have experienced before. Every treatment is tailored to the individual needs of your nails and the skin on your hands and feet.

No two clients are the same, which is why every appointment begins with a full consultation. This helps me understand your specific needs, your lifestyle and what you want to achieve. Every part of your treatment is planned with intention so you receive the best treatment options for your unique needs.

My salon is a calm, welcoming space where every treatment is unrushed, personalised and tailored to you. It’s an inclusive space where you can be yourself, with no judgement and no expectations. It’s a place to relax and enjoy some uninterrupted time to yourself, away from the demands of a busy home and work life.

Whether you’d love a gel manicure that protects and supports your natural nails, need support with weak, damaged or bitten nails, or want to give your feet some extra care, you’ll receive a treatment with a focus on care, quality and attention to detail.

Not tried my services before? Here’s a little gift from me. Use code WELCOME5 at checkout to save £5.00 on your first treatment.

About Me
Qualifications

Qualifications

Qualifications

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 been trained by some of the best brands and educators in the industry and I continue to invest in my professional development with additional training and regular refresher courses, so that I can continue to provide safe treatments with expert care.

Experience

I had spent 28 years working in health and social care before starting my career as a nail technician in 2016.

I started by offering treatments to family and friends, with just six gel polish colours, a few pots of acrylic and working from my dining room table.

As my confidence grew, I started to advertise and work as a mobile technician. I noticed that although my clients loved their treatments, they could never fully relax. They would still go and answer the door or their phone, and their little bit of "me time" was interrupted.

So my goal was to create a space where treatments weren't just another thing on a to-do list, but time set aside, where clients could relax, switch off and enjoy their treatments in peace.

During the pandemic when we all had to stay at home it just felt like the right time to convert my summerhouse and create the private salon space I have today.

With continued education and a growing passion for natural nail care, my business naturally changed. I stopped offering acrylic services and extension so I could fully focus on treatments that support natural nail growth. This changed allowed me to specialise, refine my skills and create a treatment menu with a focus on nail health and personalised care.
