Behind the chair
We started small.
My name is Elise and I am the founder of Gloss & Glam. I started off applying my own gel nails in secondary school and have fallen in love with the process ever since. One thing I love most about working with nails is how the before & after photos turn out - completely transforming a boring set of nails into a beautiful work of art!
We're a young business - and passionate about art so we put our heart and soul into every creation. Our promise is to turn your nail art dreams into reality. We don't use harsh products on your nails, so that means no acrylics, ever.
Come to Gloss & Glam and get your dream set!

What clients say
“I’ve had extensions everywhere in Essex — nothing comes close to how natural these feel. No damage when I came back for removal.”
Sienna K.
“They squeezed me in last minute for a French tip and it was perfect. The studio smells incredible and the chairs are so comfy.”
Rosie B.
“Erica talked me through every step on my first ever gel set. Really kind, no pressure to upgrade. Already booked back in.”
Elif T.
“Elise did the most beautiful hand-painted florals on my wedding nails. Genuinely flawless and they lasted nearly four weeks.”

Frequently asked
Good things to know.
We don’t — acrylics tend to weaken the natural nail. We use soft-gel extensions instead, which are kinder, lighter and just as long-lasting.
Plan for 90 minutes for french tip with extensions and a single design on one nail on both hands. Solid colour gel is around 35 minutes.
Yes — free off-street parking right outside the studio. The High Street car park is two minutes’ walk if it’s busy.
Please do. We love a Pinterest board. We’ll always tell you honestly if something won’t suit your natural nail shape or length.
We do not do crome. 3D nail art we only do simple styles: clear lines over your design to creat a more textured and 3D look. (mainly works well on the fruit nail art trend).
