An express manicure is a fast, practical way to get neat, well-groomed nails without the time commitment of a full treatment. It focuses on the essentials: shaping, tidying the cuticle area and finishing the nails so your hands look clean, presentable and work-ready.
More information
What an express manicure covers
Designed for quick maintenance and a polished look, this service typically includes:
- Nail cleanse and assessment of shape and length
- Filing and shaping for an even finish
- Cuticle tidy for a cleaner nail outline
- Light buffing to smooth the nail surface
- Finish choice: natural buff or a standard polish (where selected)
- A simple moisturising finish to leave hands comfortable
Who an express manicure suits best
This service is ideal if you:
- Want tidy nails between regular manicures
- Need a quick refresh before meetings, travel, interviews or events
- Prefer a natural, low-maintenance finish
- Have limited time but still want a professional result
What to expect during your appointment
Your nails are shaped to your preferred look, then the cuticle area is carefully tidied to sharpen the overall outline. The nails are smoothed with a buff and finished either naturally or with polish, depending on what you choose. The aim is a clean result that looks intentional and well maintained.
Aftercare and how to keep results looking fresh
Moisturise hands daily and use cuticle oil to prevent dryness and splitting around the nail. Wear gloves for cleaning and avoid picking at polish to reduce chipping and peeling. If you want to change shape or address breakage, plan your next appointment before nails become uneven.

It is always a pleasure to see Kayleigh. I can't fault any of the beauty treatments that she does from nails to waxing and eyebrow and eyelash tinting to name but a few. I would highly recommend.
