Marlow Nail Studio (sample) is four technicians, one sterilising room and a wall of more than two hundred shades on Alder Street.
We book every appointment with ten minutes to spare, so nobody rushes the cure or your cuticles (sample). There is no queue of walk-ins behind you, and the coffee is on the house.
Most of our clients come back every three weeks. We keep a note of your shape, length and favourite shades so you do not have to explain twice.
The same four steps for every metal tool, every client. Ask to see the autoclave; we are happy to show you.
1
Metal tools are scrubbed in hot soapy water straight after your visit.
2
They soak for the full contact time in a hospital-grade disinfectant.
3
Sealed in a pouch and run through the autoclave; the strip on the pouch changes colour.
4
Your technician opens the pouch in front of you. Files and buffers are new and go home with you.
Ask for someone by name, or take the first free desk.
