Your Nails, Your Brows, Perfected
BIAB nails, brow treatments, brow shaping, lash lifts and facial waxing in a calm, private garden studio. One client at a time, never rushed.
Most of the work happens before any colour goes on. The prep, the shape, the cuticle work that gets rushed everywhere else, but not with me. That's the part that decides whether it still looks right in four weeks.
Hi, I'm EllieTen years, one detour
I've been doing this for over 10 years, with a gap in the middle. My other great love is animals, and for a while that took over completely. I don't regret a minute of it.
But I never stopped noticing people's nails. So I retrained, properly rather than a quick refresher, and came back to the parts of this job I was always best at.
Nails, brows and lash lifts, done the way I'd want my own done. That's the whole business.
NailsBIAB, done gently
BIAB is a builder gel that strengthens your natural nail while it grows. It sits closer to the nail than acrylic, flexes with you rather than against you, and is taken off with care, never ripped or filed to nothing.
I work on your own nails first. Shape, cuticle work and a clean, even structure come before colour. Then a finish that stays glossy for the full three to four weeks between infills.

BrowsShaped to your face
Good brows are not a template. I map each shape to your bone structure and the way your face moves, then wax and tweeze only what needs to go. The aim is brows that look like yours on a very good day.
Tint and lamination are matched to your colouring and how much upkeep you actually want, rather than the most dramatic result in the room.

Lashes and waxing
Two things I keep deliberately simple. No lash extensions here, just treatments that work with what you have and leave your skin calm.
Lashes
A lash lift curls your natural lashes from the root so they look longer and more open, with no glue and nothing to maintain. Add a tint and you can skip mascara for weeks.
Waxing
Facial waxing only, with warm wax and fresh applicators every time. I work slowly around the eyes and lips, and always talk you through aftercare.
The studioPrivate, quiet, yours for the hour
A dedicated treatment room in a private garden setting. No salon noise, no waiting area, no one else booked in at the same time. You get a proper appointment with nothing overlapping it.
Everything is cleaned between clients, tools are sterilised, and the products I use are ones I would happily have on my own nails and skin.
- One client at a time
- Your appointment is yours. Nothing runs alongside it and nothing is squeezed in after.
- Nail health first
- Every product and technique is chosen to leave your natural nails and skin in better condition, not worse.
- Honest advice
- If a shape or a treatment isn't right for you, I'll say so and suggest what is.
Good to knowBefore your first visit
Three to four weeks between infills for most people, depending on how quickly your nails grow and how hard you are on your hands. Infills rebalance the growth rather than starting from scratch.
Yes, for any tint, lamination or lash lift. It needs to be done at least 48 hours before your first appointment, and it only takes a minute. I'll arrange it when you book.
Of course. If you have gel, BIAB or acrylic from elsewhere reputable, book a removal alongside your treatment and let me know what product they used ahead of me booking you in.
Life happens. Please give at least 24 hours' notice if you need to move or cancel so the time can go to someone else. Late cancellations and no shows will be charged.
The studio is a private garden room at a residential address. The full address and parking details are sent with your booking confirmation.
