Thank you for the lovely review but I think you may have the wrong salon, we don't actually do hair anymore

This is my first time at Sirens and it was amazing! 🎉

I loved the way Helen did my eyebrows (waxing was also perfect!) and the place is lovely! 💖

So much so that, before leaving, I booked my next session and added eyelash tint and a facial!

Loved it! 👏🏻

Our Approach to Nail Care

We don’t rush, over-file or cut corners. Every nail appointment begins with careful preparation, cuticle work and an assessment of your natural nails. Our priority is always long-term nail health, strength and comfort, not just how nails look on the day.

We work exclusively with The GelBottle, including BIAB (Builder in a Bottle), and offer over 350 colours, alongside nail decals, glitters and chrome finishes. With such a wide choice available, we’ll always help guide your selection if needed.

Nail Art, Chrome & Glitters

We offer a wide range of nail art options, from subtle detailing to more creative designs.

With hundreds of colours, nail decals, glitters and chrome finishes available, designs are fully customised to your style. Nail art is offered at different levels depending on detail and time required.

Please let us know at the time of booking if you’d like nail art so we can allow the correct amount of time.

Gel Polish Manicure

Our gel polish manicure offers a high-gloss, long-lasting finish with meticulous nail preparation to protect the natural nail underneath. This is ideal for clients who don’t require BIAB but want colour that lasts.

Available for hands or feet.

Luxury Gel Polish Manicure

Our luxury gel polish treatment combines professional nail care with indulgent hand care for clients who want more than just colour.

This treatment includes exfoliation, massage and a nourishing mask, leaving both nails and skin beautifully cared for.

BIAB – Builder in a Bottle

BIAB is one of our most popular services and is ideal for clients wanting stronger, healthier natural nails with long-lasting wear.

BIAB acts as a supportive overlay, helping protect the natural nail and encourage growth while maintaining a smooth, durable finish. It’s perfect for clients who wear gel regularly and want to maintain nail condition over time.

Recommended for clients looking for strength, durability and a clean, polished look without extensions.

Nail Extensions – The GelBottle Gel Extensions

Our nail extensions are created using The GelBottle Gel Extensions system, a modern full-cover gel tip method designed to give strong, lightweight and natural-looking results.

This system uses pre-shaped full-cover gel tips that are bonded securely to the natural nail. It allows for consistent shape, reduced filing and a more flexible, comfortable wear compared to traditional sculpted extensions. Nail health remains a priority at every stage.

We’ll always advise on length, aftercare and maintenance to keep your extensions looking their best and your natural nails in good condition.

Pedicures

Our pedicure treatments are designed to care for both the appearance and comfort of your feet, combining professional nail care with relaxation.

Luxury Pedicure

A complete foot care experience leaving feet smooth, refreshed and beautifully finished. Nails are tidied and shaped, cuticles cared for, hard skin addressed, followed by exfoliation, massage, mask and polish or gel polish.

Foot Peel

For clients needing extra attention to dry or callused skin, our foot peel can be booked as a standalone treatment or added to your pedicure.

Removals & Repairs

To protect nail health and appointment timing, removals must always be booked in advance.

Nail Treatment Enhancements

Enhance your nail appointment with optional add-ons designed to elevate your experience without extending your visit significantly.

Add-Ons

What to Expect at Your Nail Appointment

From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed into a calm, professional space where your comfort and results matter. Your therapist will discuss your preferences, lifestyle and nail history before beginning your treatment. Every appointment is carried out with care, precision and professional-grade products, ensuring nails that look beautiful while remaining strong and easy to maintain.

Why Choose Us for Nails in Durham

Clients from Belmont, Gilesgate, Neville’s Cross and across Durham trust us for nails that combine beauty, strength and consistency.

Aftercare

Looking after your nails properly after your appointment will help maintain both the finish and the health of your natural nails. We recommend treating your nails with care, particularly in the first 24 hours. Avoid picking, peeling or using your nails as tools, as this can cause lifting or damage. Regular use of cuticle oil will help keep the nails and surrounding skin hydrated and can extend the life of your treatment. If you have builder gel or extensions, it’s important to have them maintained or professionally removed. Attempting to remove product at home can weaken the natural nail and affect future treatments. We will always advise you on the best maintenance schedule based on your nails and the treatment you have had. Keeping to regular appointments helps maintain both appearance and nail condition. If you notice any lifting, damage or concerns between appointments, please get in touch. It is always easier to resolve issues early and helps us protect the health of your nails.
