Luxury Manicures and Natural Nail Care in South Croydon

Q: Which manicure should I book if I have never been to Queen B before?

Queen B recommends starting with a Spa Manicure. It gives the therapist enough time to assess the nails, work on the cuticles and skin, and tailor the treatment properly. The Classic Manicure is a maintenance treatment and works best for guests who already visit regularly.

Q: Can I book a manicure if I have gel or BIAB on my nails?

Yes, but the relevant soak-off must be added when booking. Queen B removes its own gel polish with reapplication for £10, other gel polish removal for £20, and BIAB for £25 if the BIAB was applied at Queen B. Queen B does not remove BIAB applied by other salons.

Q: Should I choose Gel Polish or BIAB?

Gel Polish gives longer-lasting colour and a high-gloss finish. BIAB gives added structure and strength for the natural nail underneath. If the nails are weak, thin or prone to breaking, BIAB is worth considering.

Q: How long will my manicure last?

A Classic or Spa Manicure with polish typically lasts 3 to 7 days depending on lifestyle. Gel Polish usually lasts 2 to 3 weeks with proper aftercare. BIAB typically lasts 3 to 4 weeks.

Q: How often should I book?

Gel and BIAB guests typically rebook every 2 to 3 weeks. For polish and natural nail care, it depends on growth rate, lifestyle and nail goals.

Q: Do you offer manicures for men?

Yes. Queen B has a dedicated Men's Manicure and Pedicure page with full details.

Q: What happens if I need to cancel?

Queen B asks for at least 48 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Cancellations made within 48 hours are subject to a late cancellation charge.

Luxury manicures at Queen B Luxury Nail and Beauty Lounge are designed for guests who want beautifully groomed hands, healthy natural nails and a treatment carried out properly from start to finish.

Every appointment begins with the condition of your natural nails and a conversation about the result you want. Whether you want a clean classic finish, a more indulgent hand treatment, a polish-free reset or support for weak nails, your manicure is carried out with care, hygiene and attention to detail.

Queen B is a natural nail care salon. We do not offer, remove or infill acrylic enhancements, dipping powders or nail extensions. We only remove or infill BIAB that has been applied at Queen B.

Luxury Manicures at Queen B

At Queen B, manicures are not treated as a quick polish change. They are structured nail and hand treatments designed around preparation, natural nail health and a clean, polished finish.

The difference is in the detail: careful shaping, cuticle work, high hygiene standards, experienced technique and a calm appointment-only environment. This is not a standard manicure. This is a manicure with standards.

Strictly by appointment only. We recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment. You can also read more about our hygiene protocols.

Before You Book

Our treatments are designed around the health and condition of your natural nails. We do not offer acrylic enhancements, dipping powders or nail extensions, and we do not remove BIAB applied by other salons.

If you currently have acrylic, dipping powder, extensions or BIAB from another salon on your nails, please have them removed before your visit. If you are unsure what you currently have on your nails, call us before booking and we will advise you properly.

Every manicure includes detailed nail shaping, cuticle work and finishing care with Dadi’Oil. Selected treatments can be upgraded with Gel Polish, BIAB, IBX or Paraffin Wax, depending on the finish and support you want.

Classic Manicure

30 min £44

A maintenance treatment for guests who enjoy regular manicures and want to keep their hands looking neat, polished and well groomed between fuller appointments. Nails are shaped, cuticles are tidied and the treatment is finished with your choice of polish or a natural buffed shine.

Dadi’Oil is applied to complete the treatment.

If this is your first manicure with us, or it has been a while since your last one, we recommend starting with a Spa Manicure so your therapist has enough time to give your hands and cuticles the attention they need.

Spa Manicure

45 min £55

The Spa Manicure is for guests who want more than a simple tidy. It gives your hands the extra time and attention that a maintenance treatment cannot.

Nails are shaped and cuticles are carefully tidied. The hands are softened in a warm salt soak before a professional exfoliation removes dead skin cells and smooths the skin. A nourishing butter massage follows, using a rich, non-oily formula with honey extract to hydrate the skin and support a softer, more cared-for finish.

The treatment is finished with your choice of polish or a natural buffed shine, followed by Dadi’Oil to condition the nails and cuticles.

Upgrade to Paraffin Wax — 55 min · £75
Upgrade to Gel Spa Manicure — 50 min · £77
Upgrade to BIAB Spa Manicure — 75 min · £90
Upgrade to BIAB Spa Manicure Infill — 90 min · £105 · Queen B BIAB only
Upgrade to IBX Nail Strengthening — 60 min · £76

The Queen B Signature Manicure

60 min £95

The Signature Manicure is a full hand-care ritual from start to finish. It is unhurried, meticulous and designed for guests who want more than maintenance.

Nails are shaped and cuticles are carefully tidied before the hands and lower arms are treated to a deep exfoliation to lift dull, dry skin and restore softness. Warm towels remove the scrub and leave the skin clean, warm and ready to absorb what follows.

Paraffin wax is applied to deliver intense moisture and support a softer, more comfortable finish. While the wax works, a self-heating lavender eye mask helps you fully switch off. Bring headphones and a playlist you love if you want to make the most of the relaxation time.

Heated stones are then introduced to ease tension from the fingers, hands and lower arms, leaving everything feeling lighter, looser and deeply cared for.

The treatment is completed with your choice of polish or a natural buffed shine, followed by Dadi’Oil.

Upgrade to Gel Signature Manicure — 70 min · £117
Upgrade to BIAB Signature Manicure — 90 min · £130
Upgrade to BIAB Signature Manicure Infill — 105 min · £145 · Queen B BIAB only
Upgrade to IBX Nail Strengthening — 75 min · £116

Naked Manicure

45 min £65

The Naked Manicure is designed for guests who want beautifully groomed hands without polish. The focus is entirely on the condition of the skin and natural nail rather than what goes on top.

Nails are shaped and cuticles are carefully tidied. The hands are treated with a vitamin C and enzyme exfoliant to smooth, brighten and refine the skin, then finished with an antioxidant moisturiser with SPF30 to hydrate, protect and restore radiance.

You leave with hands that look fresh, refined and properly cared for.

IBX Strengthening and Repair

45 min £65

Designed for nails that are weak, peeling, splitting or struggling to grow well, IBX is a strengthening treatment that works within the nail rather than sitting on top of it.

Nails are shaped and cuticles are carefully tidied before the IBX system is applied to help reinforce the natural nail from within. The treatment is finished with a relaxing hand massage and Dadi’Oil to condition the nails and cuticles.

This is the right choice if your nails need support, recovery and a more considered approach than surface products alone can offer.

Upgrade to Paraffin Wax — 55 min · £85
Upgrade to Gel Polish — 50 min · £87

Prices valid until 31 March 2027.

Soak-Offs

If you are coming in with existing gel polish or BIAB on your nails, please add the relevant soak-off when booking.

Gel Polish Soak-Off — Queen B work, with reapplication — £10
Gel Polish Soak-Off — other salon work or no reapplication, includes nail shape — £20
BIAB Soak-Off — £25 · Queen B work only

Forgetting to book the soak-off may mean your therapist does not have enough time to carry out your chosen treatment. In that case, your appointment may need to be changed to a treatment of equal value, or treated as a late cancellation and charged accordingly.

We do not remove BIAB applied by other salons. If you are unsure what you have on your nails, call us before booking.

How to Prepare for Your Visit

Arrive with clean hands and nails where possible. If you are wearing existing polish or BIAB, make sure you have added the relevant soak-off to your booking.

Remove any rings or hand jewellery before you arrive, or bring somewhere safe to put them during your appointment. If your nails are very long and you would like them shortened, let your therapist know at the start of your appointment so the time can be planned properly.

We are a strictly appointment-only salon. Please give us at least 48 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Cancellations made within 48 hours will be subject to a late cancellation charge. See terms and conditions.

Manicure Aftercare

The condition of your nails between appointments matters as much as the treatment itself. A few simple habits make a significant difference.

Apply cuticle oil daily. Dadi’Oil is available to purchase in the salon and is one of the most effective ways to keep your nails and cuticles in good condition between visits.

Moisturise your hands regularly, especially after washing. Wear gloves for cleaning, washing up and any work involving prolonged water exposure. Avoid using your nails as tools.

If you have had gel polish, avoid picking or peeling it off. When it starts to lift, book your next appointment. Picking damages the natural nail underneath and undoes the work done in the salon.

If your nails are weak, peeling or struggling to grow, ask your therapist about IBX or BIAB at your next visit.

Frequently Asked Questions About Manicures

Which manicure should I book if I have never been to Queen B before?

We recommend starting with a Spa Manicure. It gives your therapist enough time to properly assess your nails, work on your cuticles and skin, and tailor the treatment to what your hands need. The Classic Manicure is a maintenance treatment and works best for guests who already visit regularly.

Can I book a manicure if I have gel or BIAB on my nails?

Yes, but please add the relevant soak-off when booking so your therapist has enough time. We remove Queen B gel polish with reapplication for £10, other gel polish removal for £20, and BIAB for £25 — Queen B work only. We do not remove BIAB applied by other salons.

What is the difference between the Spa Manicure and Signature Manicure?

The Spa Manicure includes a warm salt soak, exfoliation and nourishing massage. The Signature Manicure is the most complete hand treatment on the menu, adding deep exfoliation across the hands and lower arms, paraffin wax, a self-heating lavender eye mask, heated stones and extended massage.

Should I choose Gel Polish or BIAB?

Gel Polish gives you longer-lasting colour and a high-gloss finish. BIAB gives added structure and strength for the natural nail underneath. If your nails are weak, thin or prone to breaking, BIAB is worth considering.

IBX is a professional strengthening treatment that works within the nail plate rather than sitting on the surface. It is worth considering if your nails peel, split, bend easily or feel persistently weak.

Can I come in without polish?

Yes. The Naked Manicure is designed specifically for guests who want their hands properly cared for without colour.

How long will my manicure last?

A Classic or Spa Manicure with polish typically lasts 3–7 days depending on lifestyle. Gel Polish usually lasts 2–3 weeks with proper aftercare. BIAB typically lasts 3–4 weeks.
