Yes! In Chelsea, same-day manicures and pedicures are frequently available, depending on your postcode, chosen treatment and who's free.
Certain slots can be arranged within 60 to 90 minutes, though it's worth booking a day or two out for weekends, evenings, extensions, detailed nail art or group bookings.
Gel polish goes straight onto your natural nail and is cured under a lamp for long-lasting colour.
BIAB (Builder in a Bottle) is a thicker gel overlay that gives the natural nail extra structure and strength.
Extensions build noticeable length using tips, forms or another system -- exactly which techniques are on offer depends on your technician.
Plenty of people pick BIAB (builder gel) specifically to strengthen or grow out their natural nails, since the thicker overlay protects without needing extensions. Regular gel polish is lighter and better suited if colour that lasts is all you're after. Neither wins outright -- it's really about what your nails need. Ruuby Concierge can give personalised advice if you want it.
Unlike a wet manicure, the Russian method stays dry throughout, relying on specialist e-file tools to work with real precision around the cuticle.
That's what gives it such a crisp, detailed finish -- though it genuinely requires specific training, so only a technician certified in it should attempt it.
For weak, thin or damaged nails, builder gel (BIAB) tends to be the recommended option -- the overlay adds strength and protection while your natural nail grows out beneath it. Your Ruuby technician will assess your nails in person and suggest the gentlest route at your appointment.
Get gel and builder gel taken off professionally rather than picked or peeled, which can thin and break the natural nail. Your Ruuby technician will soak off and remove existing gel or BIAB right at the start of your appointment -- just select removal when booking.
Think of a classic manicure as the traditional route: shaping, cuticle work and polish, using standard manicure tools throughout.
The Russian version goes about it differently altogether: cuticle refinement comes first via a detailed dry e-file technique, only then does polish or builder gel follow.
Which option's right really comes down to the condition of your natural nail.
BIAB can add welcome structure to thin or flexible nails, though anything heavily damaged, painful or infected needs assessing before any gel or extensions go on.
While your technician is happy to suggest a cosmetic option that suits you, diagnosing or treating an actual medical nail condition sits outside what they're able to do.
Classic polish tends to hold for about a week, gel polish around two weeks, and builder gel (BIAB) two to three weeks or more with proper care -- though how fast your nails grow and what you get up to day-to-day both play a part too.
Definitely. Hygiene standards are strict across the board -- tools get sterilised between every single client, single-use items are binned after each appointment, and your technician turns up with clean, professional kit. A one-to-one appointment in your own space can actually end up more hygienic than a packed salon floor. Every technician is insured and vetted before they're allowed onto the platform.
Expect somewhere between 45 and 90 minutes, depending on what you've booked -- a classic manicure moves faster, while gel, BIAB, extensions and nail art all take longer. Each treatment tile shows its own expected session length.
Everything needed travels with your technician -- tools, polishes, products, the lot. All you need to provide is somewhere comfortable to sit with a bit of table or surface space nearby; a kitchen table or living room does the job. You'll get full prep guidance sent with your booking confirmation.
Yes! Every technician's credentials, insurance, experience and treatment standards get reviewed by Ruuby before they join the platform.
