We believe hygiene should be visible. At our Fitzrovia studio, we adhere to strict clinical protocols:

  • Sterilisation: All metal tools are sterilised in medical-grade autoclaves.

  • Single-Use: Files and buffers are never shared between clients.

  • Environment: A clean, air-filtered space free from the overpowering chemical odours often found in standard nail shops.
