Four to nine people
Parties
Birthdays, leaving-dos, a Sunday with your sisters. Book four chairs or more and the studio is yours — no other appointments booked over the top of you.
What a buyout means
The whole room, not a corner of it
Groups of four and up close the studio for the length of the booking. That means the colour wall, the front bench, the speaker and all nine stations — and it means nobody is being ushered past your table.
Pricing is per person by service, plus a $90 studio fee that covers the closed floor and the extra technicians. Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings are the easiest slots to get.
How it runs
Three hours, roughly
- 01
Enquire
Tell us headcount, a rough date and whether you want gel, regular or a mix. We come back with a quote.
- 02
Send the list
A week ahead we need names and services so the right number of technicians are rostered.
- 03
Arrive together
Come fifteen minutes early. We do drinks and colour picking before anyone sits down.
- 04
Settle as one
One bill at the end, or split however you like — just tell the desk which before you start.
Practicalities
Questions groups always ask
- Food & drink
- Bring your own. We provide coffee, sparkling water and glasses; there is a table by the window for a cake. No red wine near the stations, please.
- Kids parties
- Ages six and up, Little Dippers polish changes at $22 each, one hour, minimum six kids. Parents sit on the bench.
- Timing
- Nine gel manicures across three technicians is about two and a half hours. Add half an hour if anyone wants art.
- Deposit
- $90 studio fee up front, refundable up to seven days ahead. The rest is settled on the day.
- Smaller groups
- Two or three people can book side-by-side stations at normal prices, no fee — we just cannot close the floor.
