GOOD PREP. GREAT COLOUR.

GOOD PREP โœณ GREAT COLOUR โœณ YOUR KIND OF NAILS

A little introduction

Good nails start with good prep.

Nail services combine careful preparation, shaping and a chosen finish. We look at the condition of your natural nails and talk through your lifestyle before selecting a suitable service, shape and maintenance plan.

Your appointment starts with a conversation. We agree on the details, make room for questions and explain what comes next.

Ways to work together

Pick your kind of polish.

Take a closer look at the options. Each appointment leaves room for a conversation, clear expectations, and personal attention.

01

The tidy-up

Shaping, cuticle care where appropriate and a polished natural finish. A simple appointment for hands that need a little attention without a long-wear coating.

A little artwork

A colour appointment with a few focused design details: fine lines, dots, a playful accent or a fresh take on a French finish. Share your ideas so we allow the right amount of time.

Meet Poppy Reed

Hi, Iโ€™m Poppy.
Details are my thing.

Iโ€™m Poppy, the hands behind Nail Club. I love the balance between precise prep and playful design: a perfectly simple red, an unexpected colour pairing, or a tiny detail that makes you smile every time you look down.

My nail training covers natural nail care, product application, removal and salon hygiene. Ongoing technique and product education helps me work thoughtfully with different nail types. I explain the options before we begin, including how long the service takes and how the finish should be maintained or removed.

Bring your inspiration, but there is no need to arrive with a finished design. We can build it together and choose a level of detail that fits the appointment. I avoid working over signs of infection or damage that need professional assessment, and I will always be honest about what is suitable for your nails.
