Welcome to Afterglow Lab.

Founded on the belief that beauty requires real honesty and care, Afterglow Lab rejects the rushed, conveyor-belt salon model in favour of health-first treatments. I offer a personalised, one-on-one experience built on top-tier hygiene and proper nail care.
My studio is more than just a home salon ”it is a space dedicated to high standards and ongoing education. Helping empower clients with expert care and show aspiring technicians how to build a top-quality business through skill and determination. At Afterglow Lab, it’s not just painting nails; it’s building strong, healthy results that last.

Sophie really is one in a million - I am so glad I found her. She always goes above and beyond to give the right care to - and find the right product for - my problem nails. It's obvious she takes enormous pride in her work. While she's always professional, she's also incredibly warm and friendly and I always feel relaxed during our sessions, and never rushed. I honestly cannot recommend her highly enough.

About me

My Story 
For years, I worked in salon environments where speed was prioritised over quality, healthy nails were an afterthought, and I was told I’d never make it on my own. Afterglow Lab is my response to that. I turned that doubt into fuel to build a space that does things differently, "built on hard work, skill, and a refusal to settle for second best. 

The "Lab" Standard 
I don’t do conveyor-belt appointments. At Afterglow Lab, I combine precise nail techniques and advanced skin care with top-tier hygiene to keep your natural nails and skin healthy, ”never damaged. Specialising in detailed e-file prep, custom nail art, and targeted treatments, every service is tailored to make sure your results last for weeks, not days. 

Empowering Others 
My mission goes beyond the treatment table. I am passionate about educating my clients and inspiring the next generation of technicians. I want to show anyone starting out that you don’t need a massive bank account to build a premium business ”you just need high standards, deep knowledge, and a lot of heart.
