YourNAIL GURU
A small, quiet salon on Red Hills Road, working in acrylic, Gel-X, Polygel and builder gel, with manicures and pedicures kept on the menu the old way.
Every set is planned before the file touches your nail: length, shape, apex, curve. Bring a reference or bring nothing at all and we'll shape it with you at consultation, then build it properly. One client in the chair at a time, and the price you're quoted is the price you pay.

Yes. Walk-ins are welcomed Tuesday through Saturday, availability permitting, and Saturdays are walk-ins only. Sundays are appointment only, so please call or WhatsApp ahead, and we're closed on Mondays. For anything longer than a manicure or pedicure (extensions, art briefs, the Prestige Birthday Experience) book ahead Tuesday to Friday so the chair can be blocked off.
-
Acrylic is fully sculpted. It has the strongest hold and is best for long length and heavy art.
Gel-X uses pre-formed soft-gel tips fitted to your nail and cured; lighter, faster, gentler on removal.
Polygel sits between the two, with the durability of acrylic and the flex of gel. Ideal if your naturals are thin.
If you're unsure, mention it at booking and the studio will steer you at consultation.
-
A regular manicure runs about 45 minutes, a pedicure closer to an hour. A full extension set (acrylic, Gel-X or Polygel) typically runs 2 to 3 hours depending on length and art. The Prestige Birthday Experience is booked with its own dedicated block.
-
Every 2 to 3 weeks for extension systems keeps the set looking factory-fresh. 3 to 4 weeks is the outer limit before you'll notice regrowth at the cuticle. Manicures and pedicures are typically re-booked every 2 to 4 weeks depending on the finish.
-
Message us as early as you can so the chair can be offered to another client. Same-day cancellations may attract a policy fee. Our full house rules are on the policies page.
