About
Growing up, I loved doing my nails. It was a quiet ritual - calming, creative, and grounding. I always felt better and a little more put together when my nails were done.
I’ve always been drawn to the kind of experiences that feel personal and intentional - where every detail is considered, focusing on both how something looks and feels.
I offer an elevated, health-focused nail experience in clients' homes - tailored to your lifestyle, your natural nails, and what makes you feel good. Appointments are unhurried, thoughtful, and designed to leave you feeling cared for. Not just with beautiful nails, but with the calm that comes from taking time for yourself.
This is nail care, elevated, for those who value quality, detail, and the confidence of feeling effortlessly put together.
Info
My signature is a timeless, understated manicure aesthetic - tailored for those who value a refine style and natural nail health.
I work with a curated edit of classic shades, intentionally selected to complement a wide range of skin tones.
Each appointment begins with a detailed consultation, so every decision - from product selection to colour choice and aftercare - is completely personalised to your nails and lifestyle.
I use builder gels and prescriptive systems known for supporting the natural nail and promoting long-term strength. Treatments are never rushed, allowing time for detailed cuticle work, shaping, and a considered, layered application of product.
If you’re currently wearing gel, polish, or enhancements such as acrylics applied elsewhere, please ensure these are removed prior to your appointment. If you’re transitioning back to your natural nails, I can recommend a tailored plan to help restore health and strength over time.
Treatments
A consultation will assess your nail health and understand your goals, guiding both the treatment and aftercare recommendations.
Time is spent thoroughly preparing the cuticles and exfoliating the skin around the nails using a combination of manual tools and an e-file, inspired by Russian manicure techniques. Nails are shaped to suit your aesthetic and filed to a length that works for your lifestyle, taking into consideration the typical time between appointments.
A base gel layer, carefully selected for your nail type and condition, is applied using a sculpting method to create a soft curved structure. This strengthens the nails and provides a balanced, smooth finish designed to last up to 3-4 weeks.
Based on your colour preferences, we’ll take time to discuss and match shades to complement your skin tone, with swatching and custom mixing available to create your desired shade. The look is sealed with a high-gloss top coat and finished with nourishing handcare to hydrate the skin.
A full consultation will evaluate your nail health and goals, tailoring the treatment and aftercare to your individual needs.
Detailed cuticle and skin work, using manual tools and an e-file inspired by Russian manicure techniques, will create a clean and refined foundation for the French finish. Nails are shaped to suit your hands and lifestyle, factoring in time between appointments.
A builder gel base, chosen for your nail type and condition, is applied using a structured method to enhance strength and symmetry, offering up to 3–4 weeks of wear.
To achieve a French finish that’s tailored to you, we’ll take time to match a nude shade that complements your skin tone — custom mixing if needed — and create a crisp micro white tip to suit your aesthetic. Finished with a high-gloss top coat and hydrating handcare.
Ideal for those who prefer to go without gel. A full consultation will assess your nail health and create a plan to encourage strength and growth.
The treatment includes precise cuticle work using both e-file and hand tools, gentle exfoliation around the nails, shaping to suit your aesthetic and lifestyle, and nourishing handcare.
Finished with a polish-based treatment from premium French brand Manucurist, tailored to your nail type. These formulas combine subtle enhancement with active care for a clean, glowing nail look.
A great option if you prefer polish over gel.
This treatment follows the same steps as the above Manucurist finish but ends with a colour polish application rather than a treatment-only product.
Choose from a curated selection of classic shades, or bring your own signature colour. A treatment-infused base coat is applied beneath the polish to nourish the nails, and the look is sealed with a high-shine top coat.
Includes all the steps above, tailored for the safe removal of gel not applied by Jodie. Please note: This does not include e-file cuticle prep or removal of hard gel products.
As part of your gel manicure, a fine layer of silk is bonded to the natural nail to reinforce splits or cracks, allowing you to retain length and prevent further damage.
Can be added to Signature gel manicures.
Please add this service for all re-applications of a Builder Gel Manicure.
As nails grow, the structured gel application becomes unbalanced after weeks of wear. This service includes gentle removal of most of the previous gel using an e-file and rebalancing the product to ensure continued strength (rather than buffing the nail surface at each appointment) and a seamless, refined appearance before re-application of new colour.
A full soak off removal will be done periodically to refresh the gel product.
A nourishing blend of oils to keep nails and cuticles hydrated between appointments. Regular use supports nail growth, reduces brittleness and hangnails, and helps extend the wear of gel or polish.
Add this to your booking to receive your cuticle oil at your appointment.
Please note: Not suitable for those with nut allergies. Email me ahead of your appointment to request a nut-free alternative.
