  • Yes! Same-day manicures and pedicures are often available in London, subject to your postcode, chosen treatment and technician availability.

    Some appointments may be available within 60 to 90 minutes. Booking one or two days ahead is recommended for weekends, evenings, nail extensions, detailed nail art and group appointments.

  • Gel polish is a long-lasting colour applied directly to the natural nail and cured under a lamp.

    BIAB, or Builder in a Bottle, is a thicker builder-gel overlay that adds structure and strength to the natural nail.

    Nail extensions add noticeable length using tips, forms or another extension system. Available techniques vary by technician.

  • BIAB (builder gel) is often chosen by those wanting to strengthen or grow out their natural nails, as the thicker overlay adds protection without extensions. Standard gel polish is lighter and ideal if you simply want long-lasting colour. Neither is inherently better — it depends on your nail goals. Contact Ruuby Concierge if you'd like personalised advice.

  • A Russian manicure is a dry manicure technique that uses specialist electric-file tools to work precisely around the cuticle area.

    It creates a particularly clean and detailed finish and should only be performed by a technician trained in the technique.

  • Builder gel (BIAB) is often recommended for weak, thin or damaged nails, as the overlay adds strength and protection while your natural nails grow out underneath. Your Ruuby technician can assess your nails and recommend the gentlest option at your appointment.

  • Gel and builder gel should be professionally removed to avoid damaging the natural nail — picking or peeling can cause thinning and breakage. Your Ruuby technician can soak off and remove existing gel or BIAB at the start of your appointment; just select removal when you book.

  • A classic manicure usually includes nail shaping, cuticle care and polish using traditional manicure tools.

    A Russian manicure uses a more detailed dry e-file technique to refine the cuticle area before polish or builder gel is applied.

  • The right option depends on the condition of the natural nail.

    BIAB may provide added structure for thin or flexible nails, but heavily damaged, painful or infected nails should be assessed before applying gel or extensions.

    Your technician can recommend a suitable cosmetic treatment but cannot diagnose or treat a medical nail condition.

  • A classic polish manicure typically lasts up to a week, gel polish up to two weeks, and builder gel (BIAB) two to three weeks or longer with proper care. Longevity also depends on your nail growth and daily activity.

  • Absolutely. Every Ruuby nail technician follows strict hygiene standards — tools are sterilised between every client, single-use items are disposed of after each appointment, and your technician arrives with clean, professional equipment. Mobile treatments can be even more hygienic than a busy salon, as your appointment is one-to-one in your own space. All technicians are fully insured and vetted before joining the platform.

  • Most manicures and pedicures take between 45 and 90 minutes depending on the treatment — a classic manicure is quicker, while gel, builder gel (BIAB), extensions and nail art take longer. Session lengths are shown on each treatment tile.

  • Your Ruuby nail technician arrives fully equipped with everything needed, including all tools, polishes and products. You simply need a comfortable place to sit with a little table or surface space; a kitchen table or living room works perfectly. Full preparation guidance is sent with your booking confirmation.

  • Yes! Ruuby reviews professional credentials, insurance, experience and treatment standards before a technician joins the platform.

    You can also compare professional profiles, specialist services and verified client feedback before booking.

  • Absolutely. You can save favourite technicians in the Ruuby app and re-book them in a single tap. Continuity means your technician already knows your nail shape, preferred length and go-to colours.

  • Yes. Ruuby coordinates manicures and pedicures for groups — ideal for hen parties, bridal preparation, birthdays and corporate events. Multiple technicians can arrive together at the same address. Contact our concierge to coordinate.
