This move doesn’t mean becoming a busy conveyor-belt salon. It means taking everything that makes Astral Lounge what it is and expanding it ✨

I’ll soon be sharing more about some amazing people who will be joining me, and I’m incredibly excited to have the room to host events, clubs, workshops and opportunities for local businesses and the wider community to connect.

One thing that was incredibly important to me when making this decision was protecting what makes Astral Lounge special.

I know many of my clients love the privacy, the calm atmosphere and the fact that appointments feel personal. Whether you’re neurodivergent, neurotypical, anxious, overwhelmed, or simply enjoy a quieter experience, please know that these values aren’t going anywhere.

The biggest challenge of moving into a larger shop-front space has been figuring out how to keep that same feeling. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how to make sure Astral Lounge still feels safe, welcoming, personal and pressure-free.

This move doesn’t mean becoming a busy conveyor-belt salon. It means taking everything that makes Astral Lounge what it is and expanding it.

I’m so proud of what we’ve built together already, and I’m even more excited about what’s to come. I genuinely believe we’re creating something a little different, and hopefully bringing something to Buxton that it hasn’t seen before.

Thank you for supporting every step of this journey. I can’t wait to welcome you into the next chapter ✨🤍

Builder Gel vs Gel Overlay .. Which One Is Right For You?

Not sure whether to book a Gel Overlay or Builder Gel appointment? Here’s a simple guide to help you choose!

✨ Gel Overlay
Perfect if you already have naturally strong, healthy nails and simply want a long-lasting colour with a little extra protection.

✔ Lightweight feel
✔ Natural finish
✔ Great for shorter, stronger nails
✔ Ideal if you like regular colour changes

✨ Builder Gel (Halo EasiBuild)
Builder Gel is a thicker strengthening gel that sits over your natural nails, helping protect them from everyday knocks and encouraging growth.

✔ Added strength and structure
✔ Helps prevent breakages
✔ Ideal for weak, bendy or peeling nails
✔ Great for growing your natural nails longer
✔ Can be infilled rather than removed each appointment

At the salon, I use Halo EasiBuild Builder Gel, which is designed to strengthen natural nails while still looking natural. It’s perfect if you’ve struggled to grow your nails or find that regular gel polish doesn’t last as long as you’d like.

Still unsure? Don’t worry! Send me a photo of your nails or ask at your appointment and I’ll recommend the best option based on your nail type and lifestyle. 🤍

✨ Why I Choose Gel Extensions ✨

While both acrylic and gel extensions can create beautiful, long-lasting nails, I personally specialise in gel extensions because of the benefits they offer.

Gel extensions are lightweight, flexible and feel much more natural on the nail, making them comfortable to wear day to day. They provide strength and durability without the bulky feel that some clients experience with acrylics.

If you’ve been considering nail extensions but aren’t sure where to start, gel extensions are a great option for strong, longer nails that still feel like your own ✨

Fresh tragus piercing with an upgraded gold titanium attachment ✨

Swipe to see the side profile. Correct placement and angle are key to both healing and the overall appearance of a piercing, which is why anatomy is assessed before every procedure.

✨ Thinking about trying brow lamination but not sure what it is?

Brow lamination helps redirect and set your natural brow hairs into a fuller, fluffier shape that lasts for weeks. Perfect if your brows grow in different directions, have gaps, or you simply want a more polished look without the daily styling.

✔ Creates the appearance of fuller brows
✔ Tames hairs
✔ Low-maintenance morning routine
✔ Results last around 6–8 weeks

DM me if you’d like to know whether brow lamination is right for you 🤍

✨ PROM NAIL INSPO 2026 ✨

Prom season is nearly here and my remaining appointments are filling up fast! 🤍

If you’ve still not sorted your prom nails, now is the time to get booked in. Whether you’re looking for something simple or custom nail art to match your dress, I’ve got you covered.

Not sure what design to choose? Pop me a message with a photo of your dress and we can plan the perfect set together ✨

Available options:
🤍 Builder Gel Overlays
🤍 Gel Extensions
🤍 Custom Nail Art

A lot of prom girls automatically choose acrylic extensions because that’s what their friends are having, but gel extensions are often a much more comfortable option. They have flexibility, feel lighter on the natural nail and can be soaked off afterwards rather than aggressively removed.

Swipe through for some colour inspiration and save this post for your appointment 💫

✨ When we thought Elise couldn’t get any better…

If you’ve ever had your nails done at the Astral Lounge, you’ll probably already know about Elise 🤍
My most requested shade and for good reason. It’s the perfect sheer, natural pink that keeps nails looking healthy & glossy. Plus, it grows out beautifully without that harsh regrowth line.

Lately, you’ve all been getting creative with it too ✨

Clear chrome over Elise has become a firm favourite, giving that gorgeous glazed, glass-like finish.
Sparkle top coats are having a moment while the sun is out and chrome French designs with Elise as the base are becoming an popular set in salon 🫧

Have you had any of these ? If not which would be your pick 👀
