By the team at The Nail Story, Bawadiya Kalan, Bhopal · Updated
Your first nail appointment can feel like walking into a room where everyone already knows the words. Relax. One of our Google reviewers wrote that our team put her at ease on her very first visit, and she has been coming back ever since. Here is everything you need to know.
Booking
Book online, call +91 97646 53560, or message us on WhatsApp on the same number. We are open every day, 11:30 am to 8:30 pm.
If you are not sure what to book, tell us what you would like in your own words, for example “short, natural and shiny” or “long almond with chrome”, and we’ll suggest the right service.
Finding us
We’re at Shop no. 6, Olive Apartment, 59-D, Phase 1, Tilak Nagar, Bawadiya Kalan, Gulmohar Colony, Bhopal. The studio is on the first floor, above Ashok Florist.
Before you come
- Bring pictures. Screenshots from Pinterest or Instagram are perfect, and so are pictures of an outfit you want to match.
- Come with bare nails if you can. If you have an old set on, tell us when you book so we can add a removal (gel polish removal ₹300, extension removal ₹600).
- Don’t cut your cuticles at home. Leave that to your artist.
Choosing your set
This is the fun part. Your artist will look at your natural nails and talk you through the options:
| If you want… | Try… | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Colour on your own nails | Gel polish | ₹1,000 |
| Strength without length | Gel overlay | ₹1,500 |
| Length and shape | Gel extensions | ₹2,500 |
| Length for one event | Temporary extensions | ₹1,500 |
| Care without colour | Classic manicure | ₹600 |
Then add a finish if you like: chrome is ₹80 per finger, cat-eye and ombré are ₹100 per nail, nail art starts at ₹50 and 3D art at ₹150. Your artist confirms the total before starting, so there are no surprises.
Want to play first? Try shapes and finishes on the 3D nail in our try-on studio.
During the appointment
Sit back. Your artist will prepare your nails, apply your base, shape it and finish it. Ask anything you like. If you want to try something new, this is the moment to say so.
And yes, a tip from one of our regulars: ask for the coffee.
After you leave
A little care goes a long way. Oil your cuticles, wear gloves for wet work, and don’t peel. Our aftercare guide covers it all. If a nail chips after your service, message us and book a fix. We’ll repair it free of charge.
Ready?
