Nails? We do it all, Regular polish manicures/pedicures, gel polish, BIAB, Acrylics and nail art.
We use one of the best gel polishes on the market from The Gel Bottle Inc. Born with high quality and innovation in mind, The Gel Bottle polishes are rich, highly pigmented, chip resistant and offer extremely long-lasting shine for up to 3 weeks. This LED cured polish instantly dries and it’s hard wearing so it’s ideal for those wanting a strong, long-lasting manicure. Perfect for natural nails as well as on top of BIAB and acrylic. They are also a VEGAN and CRUELTY FREE brand.
BIAB, which stands for “Builder in a Bottle,” is a type of hard gel nail treatment designed to strengthen and protect natural nails created by The Gel Bottle Inc. It’s thicker than regular gel polish and acts as a protective overlay that promotes natural nail growth, and it is a gentler alternative to acrylics. BIAB can be used on its own for a natural, strong finish or can be used as a base for a regular gel polish colour. BIAB is a trademark of The Gel Bottle Inc so if it’s not TGB, it’s not BIAB.
We also offer hand painted nail art with our talented beauty therapists. Just add it as an extra service when booking in your gel manicure.

Sports Massage and Injury recovery with Cheryl Dibben.
Cheryl is a Level 4 qualified, ITEC and FHT accredited sports therapist and is able to treat sporting injuries on professional athletes. If you have injured yourself or suffer with chronic pain and the physiotherapy wait list is too long or nothing else is working, this could be your next port of call.
Cheryl offers a range of injury and pain relief treatments such as sports massage, deep tissue massage, dry needling therapy and cupping therapy:
The benefits of sports massage are:
With this technique, thin needles similar to acupuncture needles, are inserted into or near your muscle trigger points. The needles stimulate your muscles, which causes them to contract or twitch. This helps to relax muscles, reduce inflammation, relieve pain and improve your range of motion.
This technique can be used on the face and neck to relieve tension, headaches and sinus problems.
Electro dry needling
Electro dry needling (EDN) is a treatment that combines dry needling with electrical stimulation to treat muscle pain and spasms. Fine needles are inserted into muscle trigger points and electrical pulses are sent through the needles to relax muscles and reduce pain.
This treatment can help with muscle tension, chronic pain, and healing. It can also help with arthritic pain, sprains, joint restrictions, nerve damage, and more. Good for all except those with blood disorders or on blood thinners.
Cupping therapy
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine where suction cups are placed on your skin for a few minutes to increase blood flow and promote healing. The idea is to draw blood to or away from parts of your body. The benefits of this treatment include pain and inflammation relief, decreased muscle tension, migraine and chronic headache relief and improved gastrointestinal health.
You will be assessed on consultation, and a treatment plan will be made before any treatment will take place. Prices are £40 – £65 depending on your condition that is to be treated. Cheryl is available every Friday 11am – 3pm.

Permanent Makeup by Gemma Bowden

What is it?
Permanent makeup, also known as Micropigmentation, is a form of medical cosmetic tattooing which involves depositing pigment into the skin using a digital machine and needle cartridge, similar in action to a sewing machine. Different to traditional tattoo machines, PMU machines have lower frequencies and higher speeds to meet the demands of permanent makeup. With micropigmentation you can create shading, hair strokes, lines and much more across multiple treatments such as brows, lips, eyeliner, scalp, and areola. You are also free to create multiple different PMU styles with a digital machine such as ombré, hair stroke or combination brows which gives a totally bespoke and tailored look for every individual.
