Our story
Grown, not franchised.
Fern & Petal is a small studio built around one good hour — yours. No queue, no conveyor belt, just a chair among the plants and a technician who stays with you.
The idea
One good hour, repeated.
The studio keeps four chairs on purpose. Fewer seats means fewer people in the room, a schedule that never double-books, and a technician who can stay with you from soak to seal without glancing at the next ticket. There are live plants at every station because a room full of green things asks everyone in it — guests and technicians alike — to slow down a little.
Products are chosen the way a careful cook chooses ingredients: read the label first. The polish wall is stocked with 10-free formulas, HEMA-free gel options are on hand for sensitive guests, and the low-odour lines we work with keep the room smelling like a greenhouse rather than a chemistry set. If a product does not earn its place, it does not get one.
A first visit is unhurried by design. Expect a cup of tea, a short consultation about shape, length and how you actually use your hands, and honest advice if something on your wish list will not survive your week. You leave with a finish that suits your life and care notes for the days between visits.
What we hold to
Three commitments.
Slow beauty
Generous appointment blocks and one technician start to finish. Your hour is yours — nobody hovers, nothing is rushed to make room for the next chair.
A clean-room standard
The autoclave is logged for every pouch, and single-use files are opened in front of you. Hygiene is not a promise on a poster; it is a habit you can watch.
Plant-forward
Formulas screened for the usual suspects, and greenery that is not just decor — the room breathes, the air stays kind, and so do the products.
Housekeeping
The boring parts, done properly.
The prettiest set in the world is not worth a shortcut on hygiene, so the unglamorous routine happens exactly the same way every single day.
- Autoclaved tools in sealed pouches
- Single-use files & buffers
- Ventilated stations
- Fresh towels per guest
The studio is step-free from the pavement and has an accessible restroom. Tell us about allergies or sensitivities when you book and we will set your station up before you arrive.
