FAQs

At Helen Elizabeth Beauty the nail treatments we have to offer are manicures, pedicures, gel polishes and acrylic nail extensions. We also offer removal of gel polishes and acrylic nail extensions.

Yes! It is encouraged for nail biters to have their nails done as it is a proven fact the more you treat your nails the less you will bite them.  You may want to consider acrylic nail extensions. These are a perfect treatment for nail biters as your natural nail is covered with acrylic and the extension will mean you are unable to bite your natural nail. This can mean your natural nail has time to strengthen and grow whilst the acrylic nail extension is present. Also acrylic nail extensions will really help with the appearance of bitten nails. Builder gel is also a fabulous treatment for nail biters as can help your natural nails grow in strength and length.

All of my treatements are safe for pregnant women. However there are a few things to bare in mind. Acrylic extensions may not adhere as well when pregnant and therefore can have a compromised lifespan. This does not mean you cannot have these treatments it is just something to consider. Spray tans are not recommended in the first trimester of pregnancy. With spray tans it is also advised for a new patch test to be carried out during pregnancy and post pregnancy due to hormonal changes. Also if booking in for a luxury pedicure with massage the massage portion will be adapted slightly to pregnant women due to the certain pressure points that can encourage uterine contractions.

If you need to cancel your appointment, please contact me at least 24 hours in advance. Since I turn away other clients to hold your booking, any cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice will result in a 10% cancellation fee and no other bookings will be made until paid. 

I fully understand that sometimes being late is outside of your control. I will always do my best to accommodate late arrivals (within 15 minutes after your appointment) by performing the most complete treatment possible in the time remaining at the full price.
