Info
I am based in Littleover, Derby.
You will receive the full address prior to your appointment.
If needed, feel free to contact me in advance for the exact location.
Since each treatment is bespoke and tailored to you, appointments - especially your first - may take a little longer than usual.
Appointment times for each service are available when booking. 🩷
If you’re on a tight schedule, please let me know in advance and be sure to complete the consultation form before your appointment. 💕
NON-REFUNDABLE BOOKING FEE (“DEPOSIT”)
A non-refundable booking fee is required to secure your appointment. This fee can be transferred to a new date if you reschedule with at least 24 hours’ notice.
At checkout, this fee may appear as a “deposit,” but it is strictly a non-refundable booking fee.
CANCELLATIONS
If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please provide at least 24 hours' notice. Failure to do so will result in a charge of 50% of the treatment cost.
NO-SHOWS
Failure to attend your appointment without prior notice will result in a charge of 100% of the treatment cost.
LATE ARRIVALS
Please note that if you are more than 15 minutes late, I will not be able to complete your service, and this will be treated as a no-show. Consequently, 100% of the treatment cost will be charged.
Although I understand that circumstances beyond your control may cause you to be late, my schedule only allows for 15 minutes extra time, and further delays can affect subsequent clients and the quality of service I provide.
Your punctuality is greatly appreciated.

IBX is a natural nail strengthening system made to strengthen, repair and protect the natural nail.
IBX is the first two-part treatment of its kind.
It penetrates the nail using gentle heat, meaning it can be used as a treatment and protective shield underneath gel polish!
What Makes IBX Different and Unique?
IBX works IN the upper layers of the nail plate... NOT ON TOP like traditional nail enhancement products.
IBX bonds to itself and not to the keratin in the nail plate... boosting flexibility and avoiding the brittleness that occurs with formaldehyde based products.
BENEFITS OF THE IBX® SYSTEM The technology in IBX penetrates into the upper layers of the nail plate to toughen and protect weak nails, as well as fix chronic imperfections.
UNDER GEL POLISH/ NAIL ENHANCEMENTS Creates a protective shield for the natural nail Reduction of surface-based "white spots" Helps with nail growth Protects, repairs & toughens nails
AS A NAIL GROWTH TREATMENT Repair of severe or chronic nail damage that would typically prevent nail growth Internally toughens the nail plate to allow for growth Fills up grooves to smooth the nail plate Improves natural nail colour and appearance Repairs splitting/ridged nails Treats natural nail imperfections and weak, thin & damaged nails
