Slow is the point
We book fewer appointments than most salons so nobody is ever rushed. It is why a gel manicure here lasts three weeks, not ten days.
- i.
Consult
Shape, length, lifestyle. We tell you honestly what will last and what will not.
- ii.
Prepare
Meticulous cuticle work and a dry prep. This is the part that decides how long it wears.
- iii.
Build
Structure applied in thin layers, apex balanced to your nail, then colour or art.
- iv.
Finish
Oil, a warm-towel hand massage and an aftercare card. Free fix within seven days.
- Hospital-grade hygiene Metal tools autoclaved and sealed; files and buffers single-use, always.
- Gentle on nails Vegan, HEMA-free gel options and no harsh drilling of the natural nail.
- A quiet room Six stations, soft music, proper tea — or a glass of something on Thursdays.

Lifts, lamination and the softest hybrid sets in Dublin 2. Great with nervous first-timers.

Kind words
“Three and a half weeks and not one chip. I have tried every salon between here and Ranelagh — this is the one.”
“Mei talked me through every step of my first lash lift. Calmest hour of my month.”
“Bought a voucher for my mam, ended up booking the skin ritual for myself the same week.”

How long does a gel manicure or BIAB last?
Typically three weeks for gel and three to four weeks for BIAB before an infill. If anything lifts or chips within seven days, we fix it free of charge.
What is your cancellation policy?
We ask for 24 hours’ notice. Later cancellations or no-shows are charged 50% of the treatment. You can move your appointment online up to 24 hours before.
Do I need to remove my old gel before I come?
Please don’t — we remove it gently as part of your appointment. Removal of another salon’s work is €15, or free when you book a new set with us.
Is there a patch test for lashes and brows?
Yes, at least 48 hours before your first tint, lift or lamination. It is free and takes five minutes — drop in during opening hours.
Do you have HEMA-free and vegan products?
Yes. We stock HEMA-free gel systems for sensitive clients and every polish on our wall is vegan and cruelty-free.
Is the studio accessible?
We are on the first floor with lift access from the courtyard entrance. Let us know when booking and we will meet you downstairs.
