About me

Hello Beautiful!

Meet Your Bracknell Nail Tech - Obsessed With Nails, Technique & Art

“Prescriptive” isn’t a trend for me - it’s a philosophy. Every manicure and pedicure is customised because everyone’s body chemistry, nail structure and lifestyle are different. I know how powerful a fresh set can be: it’s confidence, self-care, expression and feeling put-together.

Your nail tech gets it.

Nails have been part of who I am for years - they fuel my creativity and ground my routines. When I feel good, I show up better. That’s exactly how I want you to feel when you leave: confident, empowered and authentically yourself.

I value your time, and I design my appointments to be simple, stress-free and fully inclusive of all technical work needed for immaculate hands and feet. No rushing. No shortcuts. Just expert care.

When it comes to nail art, I’m known for my cat-eye designs, chrome finishes, layered effects, abstract compositions and refined, intentional details. Every design is balanced as a whole - nothing looks “stuck on”. Clients often tell me: “I show her what I want and she makes it even better.”

What I do & How I do It

Qualifications

  • I’m professionally trained in soft and hard builder gel, structured manicures, combi manicures, e-file techniques and advanced dry e-pedicures. As an e-file specialist, I tailor every appointment to your natural nails, skin and lifestyle - because no two clients are the same.
  • I upskill constantly, ensuring I’m a better, more knowledgeable tech every year.

Experience

  • I’ve helped many clients transform not only their nails, but their habits - especially those who struggle with nail biting. Watching a nail biter grow confident over just a few months is incredibly rewarding. For many, this isn’t “just nails” - it’s a genuine lifestyle shift.
  • I also work with a wide range of natural nail conditions, including crooked nails, downward-curving nails and ski-jump nails. This is why I choose hard gel as my preferred material - its structure allows me to correct and enhance these shapes safely and beautifully.
Qualifications

I recently visited the nail artist for a gel pedicure, and I couldn’t be happier! Her friendly demeanor put me at ease, and the gel pedicure left my toes looking vibrant and shiny. What truly impressed me was her deep knowledge—she clearly knows her craft inside out. Highly recommended!
Amazing- seeing Jaye to take care of myself and have a relaxing appointment is just my favourite part of the month. A*** service, great price and would always recommend.

I'm 8 weeks post surgery. My nails haven't been happy since having to have the gels removed beforehand they have become soft and feel like them are turning up. Jaye applied a tougher gel on the free edge today, and my nails already look and feel better. I can not recommend Jaye enough. She is genuinely the best nail tech. She always knows what my nails need and works to give me the best experience.
Great first experience! Jaye was so lovely and so knowledgeable on nail health and what would be best for my nails. I left with a stunning gel nail set and would highly recommend! Have already booked in my next appointment.
This was my first time with Jaye for a well needed pedicure and also a gel manicure. From the minute you get there, Jaye makes you feel at ease, she is so easy to chat with and so knowledgeable about what she does. My feet felt like new after and the gel nails on my hands are amazing! I can't recommend Jaye enough - she really enhances the 'me time' you might be looking for.
For me having my nails done with Jaye is not only perfect me time but a chance to chat with another business owner! I love how she does my nails - so meticulous. I am very heavy handed and she really takes this into account when she is doing them. Very happy!
Jaye is amazing and very knowledgeable. My feet felt so good after. I can highly recommend her

I had a manicure and intense pedicure appointment with Jocelyn this morning and I highly recommend! My feet haven't felt this smooth for years! Also, the attention to detail, care and knowledge Jocelyn has to help tailor the treatment to your needs is amazing.

She is also such a pleasure to talk to with and has an amazing range of colours and options she guides you through! Thanks Jocelyn my feet and hands are now holiday ready!! Cheryl Insley x
Jaye is amazing - love what she does. She is so friendly and generous with her time. I actually have nice feet I want to look at now, rather than hiding them away all the time
Jaye was very knowledgeable, and spent lots of time asking questions and offering advice based on my needs. It felt very personable and relaxing! She also spent lots of time helping to improve my feet! Thank you so much! I shall definitely be back!
I came to Jaye with my sad broken nails, and she cared for them lovingly, while sharing some great tips about how I should continue to care for them. I came out with smooth hands, soft nourished nails that smelled lovely... and one of her branded cuticles oil! Thank you so much.
Excellent. Feet feel and look great. Jaye was extremely friendly. Lovely relaxing time.
Thank you Jaye, feet felt like new after my E-Pedi.
