book a gel nail service

Important information:

  • If you do not arrive on time or at all, full service fees apply.

  • I do not remove other tech’s work, bare nails only.

  • If you would like added length to your nails you will need to book extensions as an add-on.

  • Please read policies below before booking for further information and I hope to see you soon.

  • There won’t be the option of moving your car during your service.

Apricot Nails is located at 37 Lynch Street, Hawthorn. Make time to find a minimum 2 hour park on Lynch Street or surrounding streets.

 

  • Terms & Conditions
    By booking with Apricot Nails, you agree to the following:

    🧼 New Clients

    • I don’t work over or remove SNS, acrylic, hard gel or BIAB applied elsewhere. These must be removed before your first appointment. Ask the tech not to over-file!

    • Bitten, ripped or damaged nails? Let’s chat first. There’s a different process to bring them back to health.

    ⏳ Late or Need to Cancel?

    • Cancel within 48hrs: 50% fee

    • No-show: 100% fee

    • More than 10 min late = no-show

    ✨ Service Style

    This isn’t your quickie shopping centre mani. I take my time to do it right, so check service times when booking and maybe don’t squeeze it in on a tight lunch break.

    ⏱ Appointment Length

    Appointments range from 1.5–2.5 hours depending on nail condition, art, and prep. Sit back with tea, coffee or a provided streaming while I work. Silent appointments are always available.

    💡 Help Keep Things Moving

    • Phone down, hands still – moving hands = difficult to apply neatly.

    • Limit chat during tricky stages like painting, extensions or nail art.

    • Don’t touch your hair, bag, or clothes mid-service.

    • Prep your nails with daily cuticle oil + hand cream = better, longer-lasting results.

    • Got a tear or break? Book a repair onto your service.

    • Be colour confident – choose at the beginning, indecision eats into your appointment time.

    🏡 Studio Etiquette

    • 1:1 appointments only, no kids or plus ones allowed.

    ❌ I Don’t Treat:

    Any infected nails or skin (fungal, warts, etc). If you're unsure, send a photo beforehand. Your health and hygiene come first.

    🤒 Illness & Allergies

    • Sick? Reschedule. Same goes for me.

    • Allergies or health conditions? Please share them in the consultation form/agreement.

    🔧 Repairs

    • Free within 7 days if it’s my error.

    • After that: $10 per nail.

    • Breaks due to cleaning, chemicals or rough handling are on you.

    💸 Refunds & Payments

    • No refunds, credits or change-of-mind swaps.

    • All services are appointment only. Arrive on time, and no more than 5 mins early, if you’re late, you will lose service time and this will affect what we can reasonably achieve within the appointment timeframe.

    🚨 Life Happens

    If something comes up unexpectedly on my end, I’ll reschedule with as much notice as possible.

    Thanks for reading.
    Looking forward to seeing you in the chair!
