What to Expect at Your Free Nail Design

The free nail design is a short introductory appointment. It exists so Bibi Saira can build a portfolio of finished nail work while she is still practising the skill. Henna is the established booking. Nails are the newer one, and real sittings are the useful way to photograph them.

There is nothing to pay when you send the form, and nothing to pay on the day. It is one hand per customer. You will not be asked to add a second hand to complete the offer.

How to request a time

Open the free nail design page and choose one of the dates listed there. Those dates and places are the only ones you can book. They are set in advance, usually around New Milton and the towns nearby: Lymington, Bournemouth and Christchurch. If the list is empty, there is no slot yet. Contact Bibi Saira or check social media, and the next date will be added when it is confirmed.

The form asks for your name, a phone number, an email, and the kind of look you want. A French tip, a soft neutral, a bolder colour, or a little nail art are all fine. If you are unsure, write that instead of guessing.

You can upload a reference photo

A picture is often clearer than a description. On the same form you can upload a JPG, PNG or WEBP of a design you like, up to 6MB. It might be a colour, a French tip, or a small flower. The photo is there to guide the sitting. It is not a promise to copy a design exactly, especially when the appointment is one hand and the time is short.

Come with clean nails, and upload a photo of a look you like if you have one.

There is also a tick box if you are happy for a photograph of the finished design to be used in the portfolio and on social media. Leave it unticked if you would rather the hands stayed private. The design is free either way. The reason these sittings are complimentary is explained in nail design has joined the studio.

What happens after you send the form

You should see a confirmation on the page straight away. Bibi Saira then confirms the time by email or WhatsApp. Please wait for that message before you travel. A request is not a held appointment until it is confirmed.

On the day

  • Take old polish off beforehand, and come with clean, dry nails if you can.
  • Say if your skin reacts to polish or to henna, even when this visit is only nails.
  • Allow a little time afterwards so the colour can dry before you use that hand.
  • The design itself is free. You will not be asked to pay.

Slots stay limited because henna bookings come first. If you need mehndi for a wedding or a party, use the mehndi booking page and keep that date separate. The henna services page is the place to compare designs. Ideas for wearing the two together are in matching mehndi and nails. Questions before you travel can go through the contact page.
