FAQ
Got Questions?
Everything you need to know before your visit.
Not at all! We welcome walk-ins every day from 9am to 9pm. However, if you want a specific time slot or have a complex design in mind, booking ahead is recommended to ensure we reserve an artist for you.
A classic manicure takes about 30–40 minutes, a spa pedicure 45–60 minutes, and gel or acrylic sets can take 1–2 hours depending on the design. We'll always give you a time estimate when you arrive.
We use premium international brands for all our products — gels, polishes, acrylics, and skincare. Every product is selected for quality, durability, and safety.
Absolutely! Bridal, party, graduation, or any special occasion — our artists specialize in custom designs. Bring your inspiration photos and we'll bring them to life.
We follow strict sterilization procedures. All tools are autoclave-sterilized, workstations are sanitized between clients, and our staff wears gloves for every service.
Yes! We welcome everyone. Our classic manicure and pedicure services are popular with male clients who appreciate well-groomed hands and feet.
We accept mobile money (MTN, Airtel), cash, and bank transfers. Please ask about our latest payment options when booking.
We understand life happens. Please give us at least 2 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule so we can open the slot for another client.
