Your first Prescriptive Manicure appointment begins with an in-person consultation and nail assessment, allowing approximately 15 minutes within your appointment.

Includes a detailed Russian Manicure, full nail preparation and a structured BIAB or hard gel overlay selected according to the needs of your natural nails.

This is the starting point of an ongoing structured manicure treatment. If you wish to maintain your structured nails regularly, appointments are recommended every 3 to 4 weeks.

For ongoing maintenance, please book Service 4 for appointments up to 4 weeks. If you exceed 4 weeks, a full structural rebalance is required due to the additional growth, product removal and restructuring involved, and you will need to book Service 5.

Gel colour is included if desired.

BEFORE YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT: Please send clear photos of your current nails and let me know whether you would like gel colour. This allows me to assess the condition of your nails and plan the appropriate amount of time for your treatment.

Gel colour must be requested before your appointment and cannot be added on the day, as additional application time needs to be allocated in advance.

IMPORTANT: Your nails must be completely bare for your first appointment. If you currently have gel colour, BIAB, builder gel, hard gel or another nail enhancement applied, please also book the appropriate removal service from the Removals & Repairs section.

I DO NOT REMOVE ACRYLIC. If you currently have acrylic on your nails, it must be professionally removed before your appointment.

Nail repairs or extensions are not included in your first appointment.

Appointment time may vary depending on the condition of your nails and surrounding skin. Overgrown or difficult cuticles, heavily bitten nails, picked or broken skin, and nails requiring additional preparation may require extra time.

This service is designed to support and protect your natural nails. Full-set nail extensions are not offered.

For existing clients returning within 4 weeks of their previous Prescriptive Manicure.

Includes a detailed Russian Manicure, removal and debulking of my existing product as required, full nail preparation, structural rebalancing and fresh BIAB or hard gel according to the needs of your natural nails.

For best results and ongoing maintenance, appointments are recommended every 3 to 4 weeks.

This service is for appointments up to 4 weeks only. If your appointment falls more than 4 weeks after your previous treatment, please book Service 5, as the additional growth requires more product removal, preparation and a full structural rebalance.

Gel colour is included if desired.

If you would like gel colour, please let me know at the time of booking. Gel colour requires additional application time and must be planned in advance. Confirming this at the time of booking helps avoid miscommunication and ensures the correct amount of time is allocated to your appointment. Gel colour cannot be added on the day if it was not requested when booking.

Up to 2 small nail repairs or rebuilds may be completed during your maintenance appointment where required. More extensive repairs may require additional time or a separate appointment.

Appointment time may vary depending on the condition of your nails and surrounding skin, the amount of regrowth and any repairs required.

For existing clients returning more than 4 weeks after their previous Prescriptive Manicure.

When the 4-week maintenance period is exceeded, the additional nail growth and product displacement require more removal, preparation and restructuring. A full structural rebalance is therefore needed to restore the correct architecture and protection of the natural nails, requiring additional time compared with regular maintenance appointments.

Includes a detailed Russian Manicure, removal and debulking of my existing product as required, full nail preparation, structural rebalancing and fresh BIAB or hard gel according to the needs of your natural nails.

For best results and ongoing maintenance, appointments are recommended every 3 to 4 weeks. If you return within 4 weeks, please book Service 4 instead.

• You bring the fingers → I’ll dream up the rest 😜

Please note: For returning clients with existing product applied by me, appointments over 4 weeks will incur an additional £10 rebalancing charge, as the extra regrowth requires more removal, preparation and structural rebalancing time before we can begin the creative work.

A full Prescriptive Gel/BIAB Structured Manicure + mystery nail art, with the creative direction left to me (1 appointment available per month | Standard menu value: £90–£110).

This is the gentler side of the Mad Lab, designed for experimenting with techniques, colours, finishes and combinations I want to explore on real nails.

You may tell me about genuine restrictions, such as colours you cannot wear, but you cannot submit a design for me to recreate.

No complex 3D art is included in The Experiment.

Photography and/or video of the hands and nails only is required, as these appointments are part of my creative practice and portfolio development.

IMPORTANT: The appointment duration shown is an estimate only. Mystery sets are experimental appointments and may take longer than the time displayed. Please do not book if you have time-sensitive plans afterwards. Short breaks and a longer food/rest break may also be needed during extended appointments.

And if the experiment miraculously finishes earlier, we both get to escape the laboratory early. 😂🧪
