Nail Extensions

All our nail technicians are fully qualified. The nail extension process:
Nail extensions are a method of increasing the length of the natural nail. First, a nail tip is glued to the natural nail & cut to extend your nail to a length which suits you & your lifestyle. This tip is then blended to the natural nail to achieve a seamless join.
Your new nail is then covered with acrylic which is built up in three stages to help build the strongest possible structure while making sure the nail is natural in appearance.
