Alire is very friendly, caring and absolutely the best at doing nails! I have already been back for my pedicure and can’t wait to return!

Alire is incredibly talented, especially with nail art. No design is too complicated, she takes on every challenge and nails it every time. I love just given an idea on the art and brainstorming on what it would look like with her! Her cuticle work is always so clean, which means my nails last way longer than they do from other salons. On top of that, her standards of cleanliness are the highest l've ever seen at a salon. I always leave thrilled with my nails. Cannot recommend her enough!

I cannot recommend Alire enough! She gave me the most beautiful Russian manicure and pedicure, and her care and kindness went far beyond just nails. During my initial appointment, I unfortunately had a medical emergency, and she handled the situation so calmly and compassionately. She called my mum, stayed with me, made sure I wasn’t left alone, and even offered to come to the hospital with us to ensure we got there safely. What really touched me was that later the same day, she invited me back to finish my manicure and pedicure once everything had settled. She also continued checking up on me throughout the day to make sure I was okay. The level of care, effort, and genuine kindness she showed me meant so much, and on top of that, her work is absolutely amazing. Thank you again, Alire, for not only making my nails look beautiful but for being such a caring person too. 🤍

About me
I’m Alire, a Brazilian nail artist based in Forest Gate, East London, where I welcome clients to my private home based studio for calm, one to one appointments.
I specialise in Russian manicure and pedicure techniques, prescriptive BIAB and hard gel manicures, and refined nail art created using premium South Korean and Japanese gel systems.
Every treatment is tailored to the individual. Rather than using the same products on everyone, I carefully select the most suitable system according to your natural nails, lifestyle, and long term nail health. I work exclusively on short to medium length natural nails, with a focus on clean cuticles, balanced structure, durability, and elegant finishes that grow out beautifully.
My studio is a quiet, welcoming space where precision and comfort go hand in hand. As someone with a neurodivergent mind, I understand that beauty appointments aren’t one size fits all. Whether you enjoy chatting throughout your appointment or simply want a few peaceful hours to yourself, you’ll always be welcomed exactly as you are.
Alongside technical excellence, I’m passionate about creating unique nail art using premium South Korean and Japanese gels, particularly magnetic cat eye finishes. Their depth, movement, and light have become a signature part of my work and continue to inspire my creativity.
Nothing here is rushed. Every appointment is designed to give you beautiful, healthy nails while offering a little time to slow down and enjoy being looked after.
Thank you for trusting me with your hands and feet.
With love,
Alire (she/her) ♡
Treatments
M M
A clean and elegant cuticle treatment using a combination of electric file and manual tools. This method creates a neat, polished look that lasts longer than a traditional manicure. Please note: this service does not include nail enhancements. For strengthening or added durability, see my other services. The treatment is completed with nourishing cuticle oil and a soothing moisturiser.
Please note:
The appointment duration is an estimate and may vary depending on the condition of the cuticles and the level of preparation required. Please allow extra time if you have overgrown cuticles, have not had a Russian manicure before, or have sensitive skin that is prone to bleeding easily.
If you are taking any medication that thins the blood, please inform me in advance, as this may increase sensitivity and the likelihood of bleeding during cuticle work.

Prescriptive Gel/BIAB Manicure
A high performance, prescriptive manicure designed to create flawless, resilient, and naturally elegant nails while supporting the health and integrity of your natural nails. Expect impeccable structure, refined shaping, and a smooth glossy finish that gives your nails that unmistakable freshly done look.
This treatment is fully tailored to each client. The base system, either soft gel (BIAB) or hard gel, is professionally selected according to your natural nail condition, strength, lifestyle, and length to achieve the most balanced and durable result.
Soft gel (BIAB) is generally recommended for 2 to 3 week maintenance, while hard gel can usually support 3 to 4 week maintenance when properly cared for.
This service focuses on enhancing short to medium length natural nails.
What’s Included
• Detailed Russian manicure with meticulous cuticle work for a clean and precise foundation.
• A prescribed base system (soft gel/BIAB or hard gel) selected to strengthen and protect your natural nails.
• When hard gel is selected, the service may include free edge reinforcement, correction of missing corners, and up to three small nail extensions if necessary.
• Balanced structure and durability while maintaining a refined, natural aesthetic. Ideal for short to medium lengths with a free edge up to approximately 1 cm.
• Choice of translucent base shades including milky white, milky pink, or nude.
• Gel colour of your choice from my carefully selected professional gel collection (excluding cat eye finishes, which are available under the nail art menu).
• A selection of effect top coats including glitter, pearlescent, milky white, milky pink, and nude finishes.
• Finished with nourishing cuticle oil and hydrating moisturiser.
Not Included (Add Ons)
• Removal of existing foreign enhancements is not included. Please add the correct removal service when booking (additional charge applies).
• Nail art including French tips, cat eye, chrome, or other detailed designs.
Important Notes
• This is a detailed specialist service rather than a quick manicure. Please check the appointment duration when booking and allow enough time for the full experience.
• A 3 hour appointment window is reserved to allow the necessary time for precision work.
• If you choose gel colour, please allow an additional 30 to 45 minutes depending on the colour, opacity, and number of coats required.
• From your second appointment onwards, please allow approximately 20 additional minutes for debulking and preparing the existing product before detailed cuticle work and your new gel application.
• Broken nails, missing corners, or repairs may require additional time. Please allow approximately 10 minutes per nail that requires reconstruction.
• Nail extensions and repairs are limited to a maximum of 3 nails. If more than 3 nails require reconstruction, the length will be adjusted to create a balanced and harmonious result across all 10 nails.
• Significant shape changes may require additional time. Please allow up to 40 extra minutes if you wish to completely redesign your current nail shape.
• To maintain the correct structure, appearance, and health of your natural nails, a rebalance every 3 to 4 weeks is recommended.
