The work

Nails, skin, hair, the herb room and brides — grouped the way the studio is. It is built to be scrolled rather than clicked through, so nothing here opens.

Some of these photographs are the studio’s own work. The rest is reference imagery — the direction a treatment is aiming at rather than a finished appointment — and we would rather tell you that than let a grid of pictures suggest otherwise. New work is posted to Instagram before it lands here.

Hands & feet

Gel, builder gel, extensions and the art that goes on top. Shape is the part that decides how a set wears — colour is the easy bit.

Face & skin

Machines, hands and the quiet parts of a facial — a mask going on, the tools laid out, skin at the end of a course rather than the end of an hour.

Cut, colour & care

Cut, colour, and the condition underneath both. Colour reads differently in every light, so take these as direction rather than a swatch.

Bring a picture

A photograph is the quickest way to tell us what you are after, and the quickest way for us to tell you whether your hair or your nail bed will hold it.

Bring the one you like to the consultation. If it is not going to work on you, we would rather say so before we start than halfway through.

Blended in house

Herbs before they become a paste. Half of what happens in this studio looks more like a kitchen than a salon, and that is rather the point.

Brides & mehndi

Mehndi, hair, jewellery and the finished face. Bridal is planned months out and quoted as a package, so a picture here is the end of a long conversation.

The room

Where you will actually sit — the floor, the pedicure lounge, and the colour wall most people end up standing in front of for a while.

Come and see

Tell us what you are trying to fix and we will tell you which half of the studio you need — the machines, the herbs, or a bit of both. The skin reading that starts a first visit costs nothing.
