About

I'm a professional tech with nearly a decade's experience, a passion for nail art, and a tendency toward perfectionism. Most of all, I believe that getting your nails done should be an all round fulfilling experience, not just a box-ticking exercise or something to cross off your to-do list. Your nail appointment can be therapeutic, cathartic, quiet, soothing, gender-affirming, yappy, and/or a really good laugh. Whatever it needs to be for you, I'm ready to make it happen.

BEST nail tech around!! I keep coming back because no one beats Laura on creativity, quality, friendliness and down right decent human beingness! Great job each time, really good value for money, the quality of the finish is STUNNING and the space itself is very comfortable and welcoming. Thank you Laura!!

Laura is the best nail technician I have ever used, so I have been going to her for gel extensions and infills for several years now. On the occasion I havent been able to get availability with Laura and had to go elsewhere I am always disappointed by the results (apart from Jen at the salon, who is very good too). Laura is awesome at nail art and has a vibrant range of colours. Most of all, the nail prep work is acutely good with a great attention to detail. When I walk out they look long but natural and very very neat. I highly recommend Laura!

Gel-X Removal and Fresh Set
£69.00

M M

Sometimes it's healthier for the nail to gently remove the old set of GelX and apply a new one. I generally find I can infill up to 3-4 weeks (depending on your nail health, growth, length, and habits), but past that point a new set is often the best choice.
