Natural nails are made up of protein keratin. To encourage natural healthy growth, the nail bed requires a certain amount of moisture and flexibility. Vitality Hair & Beauty uses nail moisturisers and clear polish proteins which are essential for perfect growth. Using typical cheaper products and harsh chemicals on natural nails results in the nail plate becoming brittle and more prone to breaking. Our Therapists provide a consultation to determine the condition of your nails and your present nail care which will provide you with a tailored specific nail treatment which will provide you with perfect, healthy, fantastic looking nails.
Our services range from a basic file and polish to complete nail extensions and minx nail covers.
