I had the most wonderful experience with my wedding nail technician, Ilona. She created the most beautiful nails for me. We experimented with different shapes and colors leading up to the wedding, and together, we landed on a design that was absolutely perfect for my style. Her attention to detail and execution of my chosen design was incredible. I was sad to see my bridal nails go after the wedding, but on the positive side, Ilona created another beautiful summery design for me. I'm thrilled with the results and highly recommend Ilona. Thank you so much!

Hello everyone! I am happy to announce some changes in my work.
First, I am now a working mom; my daughter has started her nursery journey, which allows me to return to the job I love.
Second, as you may have noticed, I’ve rebranded—my manicure and pedicure studio now has a new name:
The Gentle Manicurist.
The same high quality standards, sterile instruments, high-quality materials, and a safe manicure and pedicure that will look beautiful for 4–5 weeks.
Third, I’ll be based in a spacious salon Kapilli Hair Design in St. Ives, where you’ll enjoy excellent service, a selection of drinks (all included in the price!), and a comfortable atmosphere.
I look forward to seeing you soon!
