Hi I’m Bhaveena, a 30-something independent nail tech specialising in BIAB (builder gel) and gel polish manicures! I’m a creative at heart (I also run my own fashion brand), so attention to detail is everything.

I’m all about clean, simple, natural nails with a focus on nail health (nail art coming soon).

I’m based at Blush Beauty Bar, 56 Port Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester, M1 2EQ.

When you sit in my chair, expect a one-to-one experience. I love a natter, but if you’d rather scroll, switch off or just relax, that’s exactly what silent appointments are for.

See you soon for your next set, Bhaveena.
