I brought a photo off Instagram and she nailed it. Literally.

06Questions
Good to know
How long does gel last?
Around two to three weeks, depending on your nails and what you do with your hands. BIAB often lasts three to four.
Can I bring a design idea?
Yes. Add a photo when you book or bring it with you, and we’ll make it work for your nails.
Do you remove gel from other salons?
Yes. Book "Gel removal and tidy" on its own, or before a new set.
What if I need to move my appointment?
Move or cancel up to 24 hours before and your £10 deposit carries over. No-shows lose the deposit, and more than 15 minutes late may mean a shorter appointment.
Can I book or pay through this example?
This is a fictional business on Shovva. Try every step to see how it works: nothing is booked, charged or sent.
Will it suit me and look like the photos?
Every photo here is Ruby’s own work, done in this studio. Before anything starts we look at your nail shape, length and skin tone together, and if a colour or shape won’t suit you, Ruby will say so and suggest one that will.
Will you listen to what I want?
Yes. Every appointment starts with a few minutes on what you’d like: bring a photo, a colour or just an idea. Nothing is filed or painted until you’re happy with the plan.
Will it hurt or irritate my skin?
It shouldn’t. Ruby uses HEMA-free gels and never drills the natural nail. If you’ve reacted to gel before, say so when you book and she’ll test one nail first.
Is it clean and hygienic?
Metal tools are cleaned and sterilised between every client, files and buffers are single-use, and the desk is wiped down before you sit. One client at a time means nothing is rushed.
