More information

What's Included

Your mini manicure targets the essentials for a freshly groomed result without the wait.

  • Brief nail and shape consultation.
  • Cleanse and file to refine length and shape.
  • Gentle cuticle tidy for a clean outline.
  • Buff to smooth the nail plate and enhance natural shine.
  • Conditioning oil and light hydration.
  • Polish in your chosen colour, or a natural buffed finish.

Who It's For

Ideal for busy days when you want your hands to look put-together in minimal time. It suits anyone who prefers a natural, low maintenance look or needs a tidy finish before a meeting or event.

A smart choice between full manicures or after removal of enhancements when you want to restore a neat shape without a long service.

Duration & Appointment Timing

This is a short, express service designed to fit easily into your day. Arrive with clean, bare nails to make the most of your appointment.

If you have existing gel or extensions, removal is not included and needs extra time. Please arrange this in advance so your mini manicure time is not reduced. After polish, allow a little extra time for the finish to set before heavy use of hands.

Aftercare & Maintenance

For the first few hours after polish, avoid hot water, steam and pressure to reduce smudging. Apply cuticle oil daily and use hand cream after washing to keep nails flexible and reduce splitting.

Wear gloves for washing up, cleaning and gardening to protect the finish. Smooth minor snags with a soft file in one direction.

If wearing polish, add a fresh top coat after two to three days to extend wear. Return for maintenance as needed, often every one to two weeks depending on growth and lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a mini manicure include?
It covers the essentials: file and shape, gentle cuticle tidy, buffing, hydration and a tidy finish. Choose a natural buff or a classic polish, depending on your preference.
How is a mini manicure different from a full manicure?
A mini manicure focuses on grooming and polish with less time spent on extras. It does not include extended treatments such as masks, exfoliation or long massage.
Can I arrive with gel or acrylic on my nails?
This service is designed for natural nails. Removal of gels or extensions needs extra time, so please arrange this in advance to avoid reducing your manicure.
How long will the finish last?
With good aftercare, a classic polish typically looks its best for three to seven days. Wearing gloves for chores and reapplying top coat midweek can help extend wear.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Arrive with clean, bare nails and avoid heavy oils or hand cream beforehand. Bring a reference for your preferred length or shape and an idea of colour if adding polish.
