Good to know

Before you come in

Do you take walk-ins, or should I book?
Both. Walk-ins are welcome, but for a full set, nail art or a busy weekend it's best to message ahead so we can hold your slot. The quickest way to book is WhatsApp or a call on 07491 323591.
How much does it cost?
Price depends on the length, shape and design you choose. A simple gel manicure costs a lot less than a full set of hand-painted 3D art. Send us a photo of what you have in mind on WhatsApp and we'll give you a price before you come in.
Can you do bridal and event nails?
Yes. Engagement, hen and wedding nails are some of our favourite work, and clients plan their sets with us in advance. Message us early for big dates so we can book the time you'll need.
Where are you and how do I get there?
We're at 590 Kingsland Road, London E8 4AH, on the Dalston stretch by Ridley Road Market. Dalston Kingsland and Dalston Junction Overground stations are both a short walk, and many buses stop right outside on Kingsland Road.
What are your opening hours?
We're open seven days a week: Monday to Saturday 10:00–19:00, and Sunday 11:00–17:00.
