Services & Pricing
I keep this list complete and public so you can plan before you message me. Every price is a starting point — the final figure depends on the length you want and how detailed the art is, and I’ll always confirm it with you before I start.
Opening rate. While I build my Pretoria book, every price below is discounted from its standard rate. The lower number is what you pay.
A few things that are true of everything here:
- Gel only. No acrylic, no fumes at your table. Gel flexes instead of cracking and is kinder to your natural nail.
- One appointment, one client. I don’t double-book, so the time is yours.
- I bring everything — lamp, tools, a sterile setup, and a table if you need one.
- Prices are for the service itself. Travel is separate and shown at the bottom.

Beyond 20 km
· Send me your suburb and I’ll quote you
There’s a minimum booking of R350 for a mobile appointment R450 if you’re 10–20 km out).
Most sets are comfortably above it on their own — it really only matters for a single gel-polish booking or toes on their own, and in that case I’d suggest adding a little something so the trip’s worthwhile.
The travel fee covers my getting to you and back. There’s no markup on the service itself for coming to your home — you’re paying for the service, the way you’d pay delivery on a food order.
Booking and payment
– A R100 deposit by EFT secures your slot. It comes off the total on the day — it isn’t an extra cost. For groups, the deposit is R100 per person.
– The balance is EFT or cash on completion.
– I send my banking details, and my address for weekend studio appointments, once we’ve confirmed.
Is a mobile nail tech more expensive?
I’m not the cheapest way to get your nails done. I’m the way that doesn’t cost you an afternoon or a day’s leave, and where the person doing your nails is only thinking about yours
