About the location
You’ll find me at Photon House (LS12), close to Leeds city centre with easy parking and good transport links from areas including Beeston, Holbeck, Headingley, Armley, and beyond. It’s a peaceful, professional setting where your time and comfort matter.
Alongside my day-to-day practice, I’m proud to have won multiple national awards for my work, including Natural Nail Specialist of the Year and recognition in both technician and salon categories. But my real passion lies in helping people feel confident, cared for, and completely at ease — whether through nails, massage, or a combination of both.

I decided to treat myself to a little pamper before baby arrives and found Clare through recommendations on a local group, and I’m so glad I did! I’m due in a few weeks and Clare went out of her way to fully accommodate me and make sure I was comfortable throughout. She really took the time and care on my nails and gave some brilliant advice. She is such a lovely, friendly person and my nails look amazing! I had a mani and pedi with gels and felt truly pampered and relaxed. The setting is also nice and private with nobody overlooking. Would 100% recommend and will definitely be booking again once baba is here!

I have just had my second appointment with Clare and my nails are not only looking stunning and classy they are so healthy too. Clare takes her time with your nails and explains everything step by step, nothing is too much for her. I was even welcomed with a lovely cup of tea! lovely private salon where not only do I get the perfect nails I get a friendly ear to talk to too. I am so glad I found Clare and will never go anywhere else for my nails. I can't wait for my nail growth as I am looking forward to trying some nail art as what I have seen looks amazing and very current. highly recommend

I had a fantastic experience with Clare! She’s not only incredibly skilled, but also so warm and friendly. My husband and I enjoyed a lovely chat with her while she worked on my feet, and the results were amazing. My feet feel and look great! Clare pays close attention to detail, and her professionalism is unmatched. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for top-notch nail care in a relaxing and welcoming environment. Can’t wait for my next appointment! Thank you, Clare!

Claire is a perfectionists and meticulous in her work. She takes her time to ensure they look perfect. The appointments take a little longer than your average appointment but that is because she is keen to make sure they are done well. She is friendly and welcoming. The picture is after 1 week of having them on and they still look fresh!

Clare is very good at making you feel at ease , she is confident , personable and knowledgeable which made the appointment go very smoothly. I would highly recommend seeing her for a treatment as she is very skilled and passionate about the service she provides. My nails have not looked so natural and healthy in such a long time and I made sure to book my next appointment before I left.
