What Every Appointment Covers

What A Manicure & Pedicure Appointment Includes

Every booking follows a consistent structure, from nail shaping through to the final polish coat, so you know exactly what to expect before you sit down.

Shaping & Cuticle Care

Nails are filed to your preferred shape, with cuticles softened, pushed back, and neatened for a clean, even finish before any colour goes on.

Soak & Exfoliation

A warm soak softens rough skin, and pedicure treatments include callus smoothing so heels and soles feel noticeably softer afterwards.

Polish or Gel Finish

Choose from classic polish for a quick refresh or a gel finish for longer wear, applied in even coats with a clean cuticle line.

Hand & Foot Massage

A short hand or foot massage with moisturising cream is typically included, easing tension before the final polish is applied.

Why It's Worth Booking In

The Benefits of a Professional Nail Appointment

A trained technician brings the right tools, product knowledge, and steady hand that make the difference between a five-minute touch-up and a finish that actually holds.

Longer-Lasting Polish
Correct base coat prep and cuticle removal stop polish from lifting early, keeping colour chip-free for longer than a rushed at-home application.
  • Oil-free nail bed before polish
  • Even, streak-free coats
  • Gel curing for extended wear
Healthier Nail Beds
Regular, correct cuticle care and gentle filing reduce hangnails, splitting, and ingrown edges compared with irregular home trimming.
  • Cuticle oil treatment included
  • Gentle, low-damage filing technique
  • Advice on nail strengthening between visits
Comfortable, Presentable Feet
Regular pedicures keep hard skin, cracked heels, and thickened nails under control, which matters as much for comfort as for how feet look in open shoes.
  • Callus and hard-skin smoothing
  • Deep moisturising foot mask
  • Toenail shaping to reduce ingrowing risk

Planning Your Appointment

Getting the Most From Your Nail Appointment

Choosing Between Polish and Gel

Standard polish suits a quick refresh or a one-off event since it can be removed easily at home, while gel is better suited to clients who want a chip-resistant finish that lasts through two to three weeks of daily wear.

Manicure, Pedicure, or Both

A manicure alone works well for hands-focused occasions like interviews or photos, while a combined manicure and pedicure session is popular before holidays, weddings, or sandal season when both hands and feet are on show.

Preparing for Your Visit

Arriving with clean nails and no existing gel where possible speeds up the appointment. If old gel needs removing, mention this when booking so extra time can be allowed in your slot.

Spacing Out Regular Visits

Booking every three to four weeks keeps regrowth minimal and cuticles consistently tidy, which tends to work out more cost-effective than letting nails grow out fully between visits.

Before Your Manicure or Pedicure:

  • Remove existing polish if possible, or mention gel removal when booking
  • Avoid heavy hand cream right before your appointment
  • Share any nail sensitivities or recent treatments
  • Bring open-toe or slip-on shoes for pedicure visits
  • Have a colour or finish in mind, or bring reference photos
  • Confirm your address details clearly for mobile bookings
Frequently Asked Questions

Manicure & Pedicure FAQs

Answers to common questions about gel wear time, mobile visits, product removal, and how often to book.

What is the difference between a manicure and a pedicure?
A manicure focuses on shaping, cuticle care, and polish for the hands, while a pedicure covers the same steps for the feet plus callus smoothing and a longer soak.
How long does gel polish typically last?
Gel polish generally holds its shine and shape for two to three weeks, compared with five to seven days for standard polish, depending on nail growth and daily wear.
Can a technician visit my home instead of a salon?
Yes. Mobile appointments are available across Sidcup, Welling, Orpington, Bexleyheath, Eltham, Chislehurst, Bromley and Dartford, with a full portable kit brought to your door.
How often should I book a manicure or pedicure?
Every three to four weeks keeps cuticles neat and polish fresh for regular clients, while a one-off pedicure before an event works well as a standalone booking.
Do I need to remove old gel before my appointment?
Old gel or shellac is usually soaked off and buffed away safely at the start of the appointment, so there's no need to pick it off at home beforehand.
Is nail art available as an add-on?
Most technicians offer simple line work, French tips, and seasonal designs as an add-on, with detailed hand-painted art usually booked as an extended slot.
