Weddings & parties of one
Bridal
Hands are in every close-up of the rings, so we treat a wedding set as a two-appointment job: a trial to decide, and a fresh set right before the day.
The two-appointment rule
Never a first attempt on the day
A trial four to six weeks out tells us three things: how your nails hold product, whether the length photographs the way you imagined, and how the colour sits next to your dress and your ring metal.
Then we book the real set two or three days before — not the morning of. Gel is hard within minutes, but nails photograph better once the cuticle oil has settled and any redness has gone.

Fine print
How the booking works
- Deposit
- A third of the package total holds the date and comes off the final bill. Refundable up to four weeks out.
- Buyouts
- Party bookings of four or more close the studio, so they are quoted as a block rather than per person.
- Guests joining late
- We can usually add a chair up to two weeks before. After that the technicians are already scheduled.
- Travel
- We do not travel to venues — the lighting and the tables are never right. Everything happens in the studio.
- Groups with kids
- Flower girls get a Little Dippers polish change at $22, and the front bench is theirs.
