CAN I CALL TO DISCUSS?

Unfortunately, despite our number being on google, (we’ve tried to remove it to avoid confusion but are experiencing some technical difficulties!) we can rarely answer calls. The number is manned by owner Emily who, when not in the salon with clients is busy at home with the kids. If you have an urgent enquiry about your impending appointment please contact your nail tech directly via Instagram (link via our team page) or if drop us an email thegossipnailbar@gmail.com and we will get back to you asap. Please be sure to read all the information provided here first as many queries can be answered via our services page. We get a high demand of enquiries and do not have the resources to respond to questions that can be found throughout our website.

ARE YOUR PRODUCTS CRUELTY FREE AND VEGAN?

We now stock Magpie Gel polish which is all HEMA FREE, cruelty free and vegan. We also use Apres Gel X for Extensions which are vegan and cruelty free but contain less than 1% of Hema.

WHAT DO I BOOK IN FOR?

We have a very detailed description of all our services here

DO YOU DO ACRYLIC?

No we don’t. We will not remove any acrylic product either.

DO YOU DO PEDICURES?

No, hand nails only.

DO YOU DO REGULAR POLISH?

No, gel nails only.

DO WE RESPOND TO EMAILS WITH QUESTIONS THAT ARE ANSWERED HERE?

No, sorry. If you’ve read everything and you’re still unsure then we’ll be happy to help but we unfortunately do not have time or resources to respond to everyone that gets in touch without first reading all the information.

We do not offer any service to anyone under the age of 16 for the purposes of our insurance. You will be turned away and charged a cancellation fee if we suspect you are under 16.

I BROKE ONE, CAN YOU FIX IT?
