The studio
A private studio in Longueuil. One client, all the time it takes, and care made to measure for you.
The place
Terracotta and cream walls, gold details, daylight. A single manicure table and a single pedicure chair, because there is only one client here: you. You arrive at your appointment time and we begin.
The products
I work exclusively with Kiara Sky’s professional Gel Pro line: 150 colours and its acrylic system. I chose it for the result, and also for what it leaves out: the formula is free of HEMA, TPO, TT and TMPTA, the four ingredients most associated with allergies, irritation and sensitivity in nail gels. If salon gel has ever made you itch or lifted early, this is the difference.
The tools
A professional precision e-file, dust extraction at every appointment to keep the air clean, and a three-motor adjustable esthetician chair for the dry pedicure.
Hygiene
Before every appointment, the table is cleaned and set up fresh for you. Metal tools are washed, disinfected and sterilized after each client; files, buffers and wooden sticks are single-use and opened in front of you. A clean towel for every service, and the dust collector captures filings as they happen, so neither of us breathes them. A beautiful manicure starts with hands that are well cared for.
The scent
A studio is remembered by how it smells, too. I chose a fragrance diffused quietly through the whole space, meant to accompany your appointment without ever imposing. It opens with a fresh, spiced spark of cardamom and lemon over a note of leather. At its heart, creamy sandalwood, oud and a touch of cinnamon: warmth and depth, like the stillness of a place you feel you already know. The base settles into vetiver, amber and musk, elegant and grounded. It is a scent that does not announce itself; it recognizes you..
The details
When you arrive, elegant slippers so you’re comfortable from the first step. A coffee while you choose your colour, with a small table beside your chair to keep it within reach. A hook for your handbag so it never touches the floor, and a stand that holds your phone at an angle while we work. And every manicure ends the same way: a hand exfoliation, a cream and a scented mist I choose myself. Small things, but together they make the difference.
What a visit is like
- You message me on WhatsApp and we settle the day, time and service.
- I send you the exact address and where to park when the appointment is confirmed.
- You arrive, I pour you a coffee and we choose the colour or design together. If it’s your first visit, you tell me what you liked and didn’t like about your previous nails, and we start from there.
- We work without rushing. When we finish, we book your next appointment if you like.
