Gel Nail Artist & Nail Educator
Welcome — I’m a qualified Gel Nail Artist and Nail Educator with a strong focus on natural nail health, education, and long-term results. My approach is all about helping clients and students understand their nails, make informed choices, and achieve beautiful, healthy enhancements without damage.
I work from a comfortable, fully equipped home salon based in North Camp, close to Salesian College, with private driveway parking and wheelchair access via portable ramps. For privacy, the full address is shared with appointment reminders 24 hours before your booking. All services are by appointment only — no walk-ins.
Education First, Always
Healthy nails are the foundation of everything I do. I believe that with the right products, preparation, and aftercare, you can grow and maintain your natural nails. I never over-file and only remove surface shine where needed to ensure excellent retention while protecting the natural nail.
Nail Education
In 2025 I introduced bespoke in-person Nail Courses, available as:
1-to-1 training
2-to-1 training
These courses are designed to be personalised, supportive, and practical — perfect for those wanting to improve their skills, confidence, and understanding of professional gel systems. Visit the Nail Courses pages to learn more.
Professional Gel Nail Services
I specialise exclusively in gel nail enhancements, allowing me to focus on quality, safety, and results. All gel services include an express manicure to refine nails and cuticles.
Services include:
Gel Polish
Builder Gel (BIAB/BIB)
Hard Gel
Full Cover Press-On Extensions
Gel Pedicures
I use Wowbao Nails gel systems, which are HEMA-free, TPO-free, vegan friendly, and cruelty free, making them suitable for many clients with sensitivities.
Strength, Growth & Extensions
Builder Gel (BIB) is ideal for soft, brittle, weak, or bendy nails and can support nail growth with wear times of up to four weeks. It’s also a great option for nail biters and pickers.
For those wanting instant length, I offer three types of extensions:
Hard Gel, Builder Gel, and Full Cover Tips. The most suitable option will always be discussed during your appointment based on lifestyle and desired length.
