Ausma is AMAZING - I won't be going anywhere else for my nails! Perfectly groomed and painted, with incredible nail art. I wanted a French manicure inspired Christmas look, neutral with a touch of glitz... She did NOT disappoint! 🥰

Ausma is very creative, understanding of your needs, friendly and the best nail technician I have ever been to. I have been taken out of my comfort zone and thoroughly enjoy discovering new ideas, designs and colours. Can't wait for my Christmas nails g If you are looking for someone to do your nails I highly recommend Ausma

This was my first visit and Ausma was easy to talk to, listened to my previous poor experiences with nail technicians due to having very soft, sensitive nail beds. Love the size, shape and colour thank you.

I was super nervous to get my nails done because I'm a skin picker but Ausma made me feel totally comfortable and provides excellent customer service! I can't wait to come back again.

I am on my 3rd set of nails and I couldn't be happier! Ausma is the most welcoming, funny, talented and all round amazing person who makes every effort to make your experience the best. I love that I go in with ideas and they get elevated and the outcome is beyond what I ever expected. Everyone deserves a nail tech like Ausma!

Ausma has been my Nail Friend for several years now. She does an amazing job, very detailed, superb quality and very personalised. No matter what you are after - something neutral and simple or wild and crazy-Ausma has it covered! Always treated nice and very well looked after :)

Ausma is so great at her job and you can totally see her passion for it. I've been a customer for a year now and her nail art is always top notch. No matter what I ask for, she can do it! She's always open to trying out new things, showing me new colours and new products. She always delivers an amazing service, definitely recommend :)

I have been a client of Ausma since she started her art 7 years ago and I will be going to her for another 7 years. I am a fan of detailed and fine nail art and have a wide range of tastes and Ausma caters to me every time. She has done speciality nails for every occasion and season from weddings, funerals, summer vacations, Christmas, etc etc, I have never had the same set twice as she is so creative and when I come to her with ideas of my own (something rarely needed when your nail tech knows you so well by now) she creates exactly what I didn't even know I needed. 10/10 - HUGE RECOMMEND

Went to see Ausma for the first time a few days ago and she transformed my chewed up nails! She is incredibly kind and I highly recommend her. I love not being embarrassed about my nails anymore.

Ausma is fantastic! She's more than happy to accommodate any crazy nail ideas you throw at her. She's wonderful to chat to and makes you feel really comfortable and at home in her home studio.
