For every client, I use a completely sterilized, fresh set of manicure tools. I built this space in Santacruz to ensure you have a clean, safe, and relaxing environment while I work on your nail art. When u visit my studio in Santacruz, I want you to know exactly how I work. My process starts long before you sit in the chair. I travel to markets in China to personally source the highest quality gels, powders, and tools, testing them myself so I know they perform perfectly. My focus is on technique and longevity. Whether I am performing a Russian manicure, which involves precise e-file cuticle cleaning, or applying soft gel extensions, I prioritize the health of your natural nail. I use a structural rubber base for better retention, meaning your nails stay beautiful for 30 to 45 days. I also invest in the right infrastructure. My studio is equipped with powerful, brushless dust collectors to keep the air safe for both of us, and I use modern LED lamps that ensure even curing without heat spikes. I am constantly learning, attending workshops like those with @ivleva.nail.khv to upgrade my skills. You are getting professional technique, rigorous safety, and a whole lot of love poured into every detail. ## About Avni Gala I'm Avni, and nails are my jam. I have built this space to be more than just a salon, it is where I get to experiment, teach, and give you the best, cleanest manicure in Mumbai.
