Nobody should have to know what "almond BIAB with an ombré fade" means before they walk in. Put a set together below and we will take it from there.

Acrylics, BIAB, gel polish, dip powder, hybrid, Russian manicure, manicures and pedicures, ombré and nail art. Six days a week on Albion Street, in the middle of Halifax.

Design your set

Four choices and a colour. It is not a booking and nothing is charged for it. What it gives you is the words, so the conversation at the desk starts halfway through.

Change your mind as often as you like. Nothing goes anywhere until you send it.

What the words mean

Plain English, because half of these are trade terms nobody explains until you are already in the chair. Ask at the desk if anything is still unclear. Nobody minds the question.

BIAB

Builder gel painted over your own nail to strengthen it. Grows out with the nail rather than sitting on top of it — the usual answer for people whose nails break.

Acrylic

A hard extension built onto the nail. The most robust option and the one that takes length and shape best.

Gel polish

Colour cured under a lamp. Dry before you leave and good for a fortnight or more without chipping.

Dip powder

Colour set into a powder rather than cured under a lamp. Strong, matte-leaning, and quick to apply.

Russian manicure

Cuticle work done with an e-file rather than clippers. Neater at the base, so colour sits closer and lasts longer.

Ombré

Two colours faded into each other along the nail. Also called baby boomer when it is nude into white.

Hybrid

Builder gel with a polish finish over it — somewhere between BIAB and a full set.

Infill

The three-weekly top-up that fills the regrowth at the base, so you are not starting again each time.

Manicure

Nails cut, filed and shaped, cuticles tidied, then colour if you want it. The base every other treatment starts from.

Pedicure

The same work done on feet, with hard skin taken back first. Allow longer than you would for hands.

Soak-off

How gel and acrylic are meant to come off. Picking a set off instead takes layers of your own nail with it.

The salon

Venus is on Albion Street, in the middle of Halifax. A minute from the Woolshops and about the same from the bus station.

The salon is open six days a week. Walk in if there is a chair free, or ring ahead and pick your time.

The full range is here, from a first set of gels before a wedding to acrylic sculpting and detailed art. Themed sets and nail art are on the list too.

Bring the photograph, however ambitious it looks. Somebody will tell you honestly what works on your nails as they are.

And if you have never had your nails done before, say so at the desk. Nobody minds, and it changes what gets suggested.

A set is built to what your own nails will take. Bitten nails, ridges and peeling all change the answer.

Book in

Ring the salon and somebody will pick up. Or send your set over with the form and we will come back with a time.

Say what you are after when you ring and you will have a figure before you sit down. Length, finish and how much art goes on are what move it.

Bring a photo on your phone if you have one. It settles the shape and the colour faster than any description.
