Our Treatments & Prices

Our nails services in Northampton include four main treatment options, whether you're looking for added length, a glossy finish or routine grooming.

BIAB Gel Treatments

From £28

Builder in a Bottle (BIAB) is a strengthening gel overlay applied to the natural nail. It provides additional structure and a smooth, polished finish, making it a popular choice for clients who want to maintain their natural length.

BIAB can be particularly appealing if you prefer a neat, durable finish without traditional acrylic extensions.

Acrylic Extensions

From £30

Acrylic enhancements are created using a combination of liquid and powder that hardens into a durable structure.

They are commonly chosen for added length, defined shapes and a more structured finish. Different lengths and styles can be discussed to suit your preferences and everyday activities.

Pedicure Treatments

From £25

Our pedicures are ideal for refreshing the appearance of your feet and toenails.

Whether you're preparing for a holiday, special occasion or regular upkeep, a pedicure offers dedicated foot grooming and a tidy, well-maintained appearance.

Manicure Treatments

From £15

Our manicures focus on keeping your hands and natural tips looking neat and presentable.

They're ideal for everyday grooming, special occasions or anyone who prefers a simple, polished appearance without extensions.

Prices shown are starting prices. Final costs may vary depending on the treatment and any additional requirements.

Explore our full treatment price list or contact us to discuss your preferred service.

Choosing Between BIAB Gel & Acrylics

Both options provide a polished finish, but they serve slightly different preferences.

BIAB Gel

Often preferred for adding structure to natural growth while maintaining a more natural length.

Acrylics

Commonly chosen when additional length, stronger shaping or extensions are the priority.

Your choice will depend on your desired appearance, natural condition and maintenance preferences.

If you're unsure which option suits you, we can help you explore the differences before your appointment.

Looking After Your Finish

Good aftercare can help maintain your results and reduce avoidable damage.

  • Moisturise Regularly: Keep your hands and surrounding skin hydrated.
  • Avoid Picking: Never peel or pull away gel or acrylic products.
  • Wear Gloves: Protect your hands when cleaning or handling harsh chemicals.

If you experience pain, swelling or signs of infection, seek appropriate medical advice rather than applying another cosmetic product.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Have BIAB on Short Natural Growth?

Yes, BIAB can often be applied to shorter natural lengths, provided the surface is suitable for treatment. You don't need long tips to enjoy a builder gel finish.

Can I Switch from Acrylics to BIAB?

Switching may be possible, depending on the condition of your natural growth after removing existing enhancements. We can discuss the most suitable approach and whether a break or additional care is advisable.

Can I Have a Treatment with Damaged Cuticles?

It depends on the severity of the damage. Minor dryness may not prevent an appointment, but broken skin, inflammation or suspected infection may mean postponing treatment until the area has healed.

Can I Bring a Design Inspiration Photo?

Absolutely. You're welcome to bring photographs showing the shape, colour or finish you have in mind. We can discuss what's achievable with the services and products available.

Can I Have Extensions If I Bite My Fingers?

Extensions may be possible, but suitability depends on the condition of your natural tips and surrounding skin. If there's significant damage, we may recommend allowing time for recovery before applying enhancements.

Should I Remove Existing Products Before Visiting?

Not necessarily. Let us know when booking if you currently have gel, acrylic or another enhancement applied. This helps us establish whether removal is needed and allow sufficient appointment time.
