Nail Design Has Joined the Studio
Henna is still the work people book Bibi Saira for: bridal hands, family celebrations, and parties across Hampshire. This autumn there is a second skill on the same pair of hands. Nail design is new, and she is practising it properly so the finished work can go into a portfolio.
That is the plain reason the designs are free. A portfolio needs real appointments, not only practice at home. Each sitting is one hand. A photo of the finished design is taken only if you are happy for it to be used. There is nothing to pay when you book, and nothing to pay on the day.
What a nail design sitting covers
The look is kept simple and finished. A soft French tip, one colour, or a small piece of nail art are the usual starting points. If you have a photograph of a colour or a shape, you can upload it when you request a free nail design. If you are not sure, say so on the form and the look can be chosen together.
It is one hand per customer. That keeps the sitting short enough to sit alongside henna bookings, and it gives a clear result for the portfolio. The other hand can wait for another date.
Where the sittings happen
Bibi Saira is based in New Milton and covers Lymington, Bournemouth, Christchurch and nearby areas. Nail dates are not a standing weekly slot. They are chosen dates and places, added when there is time around mehndi work. If the free nail design page has no date listed, check Instagram or Facebook, or send a message. New dates are posted there first.
You can get in touch any day between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM. A nail appointment itself is only the date and time shown on that page.
Mehndi bookings stay as they are
Weddings, parties and smaller henna designs are booked in the usual way. The henna services page sets out the kinds of design, and you can book mehndi without using the nail form. If you want both, book the henna on its own date and use the free nail sitting separately, so a wedding time is not squeezed.
There is a shorter guide to what happens at the free nail design, and ideas for wearing henna and nails together at a celebration. A little more about the studio is on the about page.
