Welcome to Peachy by Eva. The salon is based in Blush Beauty Bar, in central Manchester, Northern Quarter. 65-67 lever street, northern quarter, Manchester M1 1FL. They are just on the side street at the big grey door! You can buzz in at ‘blush beauty’ at the door. All nail treatments are done on natural nails only, meaning I do not offer extensions (however, I can offer a paper nail form if one nail has broken to add the length to match the others). I want you to feel as comfortable as possible. If you’d like a little peace and quiet during your treatment, just choose the Quiet Time option when booking — no need to chat, just relax and they will leave you to chill.
I do not remove BIAB previously done by another salon. That is not offered in my treatment menu. If you book in for gel removal and come in with BIAB, I unfortunately will have to refuse the service and the fees still apply. The same applies if you are expecting extensions - I will be unable to do your treatment and you will still be charged, unless you are happy to go ahead I’ll without extensions.
