Melissa Parks Nail Care and Design

The finished photos don’t show what goes into each set, but they’re not all the same.

A treatment plan means your nails get the time, care and attention they need on every visit to my studio.

Here’s what I consider during your consultation and nail assessment to create your personalised treatment plan:
▪️your nail type and condition
▪️your skin type
▪️safety
▪️your lifestyle
▪️treatment options
▪️product choices
▪️my nail prep and application techniques

Everyone’s hand and nail care needs are unique and change over time.
Even on the same pair of hands, some nails can have their own needs, so the plan will be different for each client.

For example:
For a client with damaged nails, my focus is on restoring the health of their natural nails, and I’ll recommend treatment options and products that support recovery.
For a client with generally healthy nails, my focus is on maintaining and protecting nail health.

It’s not a fixed routine where everyone gets the same. It’s a treatment planned with intention to give you the best possible results.

If you’d like more info or have any questions, feel free to send me a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

It’s not always about colour or nail art.

Some clients want a more natural look but still need their nails to be supported and protected.

This structured manicure ticks all the boxes 😍

Natural nail health is my number one priority, so my clients aren’t just booking a set of gel nails with me. They’re booking a tailored treatment plan that supports and protects their natural nails for 4 weeks.

When your nails are cared for properly, your gel manicure lasts longer and your natural nails grow stronger & longer.

Like most of my clients, this lady asked me to shorten them today because they’d grown a bit too long 😊 (always a good sign)

If you’d like to know more about my gel treatments, feel free to send me a message for a chat.

4 weeks later....

Nothing to see here only strong, healthy natural nail growth.

This lovely lady doesn’t usually have her nails ‘done’, so she was a bit unsure about which colour to pick.

We spent a bit of time going through the colour options, and she really liked the magnetic gels, so I tried them over a few different swatches until she found the ones she was happiest with.

I think she picked a winning combo, 😍 even if the photo doesn’t quite do them justice.

Taking the time to help you find your colour is all part of the service 😊

My August and September availability is now live.

I’ll be taking some annual leave in September, so if you have any events or special occasions that you need to be booked in for, now’s the time to check your diary & get your appointment booked in.

If we haven’t met before, I’m Melissa. Here's a little bit about me. 😊

I live with my husband Kev. We’ve been married 18 years, and we have a big blended family, including our little cat. Life can be fairly lively, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

When I’m not in the studio, I prefer to be outside. I’m usually pottering in the garden or out for a walk.
I enjoy cooking, and I’m always happy to have family and friends over for dinner.
I love an afternoon or night out with friends too.

I like to relax with a book, and I love a good boxset, although I usually end up binge‑watching and staying up too late.

After more than 25 years working in social care, I started training as a nail technician in 2016. It was a bit scary changing career at 45, but I knew I wanted something different for myself. Caring for people has always been my thing, so retraining wasn’t just about learning new skills, I found a new way to care for people too.

If you have any questions about me, my studio or nail care in general, feel free to get in touch for a chat.
