How an appointment goes
Four steps, always in this order, usually inside an hour.
- 01
Consultation
Two minutes on shape, length, and what you want your hands to do for you this week.
- 02
Prep & shape
Cuticle work and filing, done by hand and at a pace that doesn't rush the shape.
- 03
Colour & art
Base, colour, and any hand-painted detail — mixed to match, not picked off a wall.
- 04
Finish & cure
A top coat, oil, and a proper cure so you can leave without waiting around.
House colours
Mixed in-studio and named for the grade of matcha they're closest to. Bring a reference and we'll match it.
