Manicure in Nairobi
From KES 1,200 · mobile appointment at your home, hotel or Airbnb
A manicure here means the actual hand treatment, not just colour: soak, cuticle work, shaping, buffing and a finish. It's the appointment to book when your nails are fine but your hands look tired, or when you have something on this weekend and want them neat rather than dramatic.
You can take it plain — no product at all, just tidy, shaped and buffed to a natural shine — or add gel colour, or add a moding builder base under the gel if your nails need reinforcing. The price ladder is straightforward and every option is listed on the artist's menu rather than quoted on the day.
Because it's mobile, it fits into a lunch hour at the office or a Sunday afternoon at home. No parking, no waiting room, no upsell.






What to expect
- Soak, cuticle work, shaping and buffing
- Plain finish, gel colour, or gel over a moding builder base
- Around 45-90 minutes depending on what you add
- Everything supplied and the space left tidy
- Booked at your home, hotel, Airbnb or office anywhere in Nairobi
Questions
- What's included in a plain manicure?
- Soak, cuticle work, filing to shape and buffing. Colour is a separate line item so you only pay for what you want.
- Can I have a manicure without any polish?
- Yes — a buffed natural finish is on the menu and is the cheapest option. Plenty of clients book exactly that.
- How far in advance should I book?
- A day or two is usually enough. Weekends and end-of-month fill up faster, so message earlier for those.
