Gel Manicure & Pedicure Review I had an amazing experience! Alire is a true perfectionist — every detail was done beautifully. My nails look flawless, and my feet have never felt this soft before. The whole treatment was relaxing and professional from start to finish. Highly recommend!

I’ve been to Alire three times now and couldn’t go anywhere else now! She is such a perfectionist, my nails look brilliant every time – and she has also done wonders for my cuticle and nail health with her Russian manicure technique (they were pretty damaged after some dodgy removals at other salons). Everything is super clean, her space is so lovely – and she never lets me leave without making sure I’ve had a snack..! Could not recommend enough – I think she should be charging double what she does for how brilliant and careful her work is. It is a time commitment but well worth it.

Absolutely wonderful experience with Alire. I have no idea about nails and she was happy for me to come in and for her to remove the gels I had done somewhere else. I then had a Russian manicure which was great. The place is super super clean and she makes you feel SO welcome. I would 100% recommend her and will definitely be going back to her for all my nail needs. Her prices are also great and she is so easy to chat to, you feel relaxed and right at home

Helo,
I’m Alire and welcome to my space, where beauty meets care and community.
I am an experienced nail technician based in Forest Gate, East London, offering over 20 years of professional expertise in nail care. I specialise in Russian manicure and pedicure techniques, gel nails, including BIAB (Builder in a Bottle), and bespoke nail art tailored to your individual style and personality.
My approach to client care is deeply rooted in over two decades of experience within the hospitality industry. This background informs my commitment to creating a warm, detail-oriented, and comforting experience for every person who walks through my door. Clients are always welcomed with kindness, and refreshments — including snacks and soft drinks — are thoughtfully provided.
I also hold a degree in Geography and am currently in an ongoing Master’s program in Urban Geography. My academic work complements my professional ethos, as both reflect a deep sensitivity to the social, spatial, and emotional dimensions of everyday life. Whether you’re here to express yourself through nail art or simply to take a pause for self-care, you are wholeheartedly welcome.
I look forward to welcoming you into my chair for a set of lovingly crafted nails.
All identities, bodies, and souls are safe and celebrated here ∞♥
With love,
alire (she/her)

You can choose from the small selection at the studio which isn't a large one as this service is rarely requested and it has become less and less popular. Also, you can bring your own (BYO) colour if you wish.
All ten fingernails in a uniform style. If multiple colours are requested, this will be charged as Tier 1 Nail Art.
Please note: Dark or pastel gel colours may take a little longer to apply, as these shades require extra precision when working close to the cuticle for a flawless, long-lasting finish.

Please note: The duration is an estimate, as foreign removals can be more complex. I take the necessary time and care to safely remove existing products without damaging your natural nails. For insurance reasons, all foreign material must be fully removed before my new service.
