Hello, and welcome to Arch! For those who don’t know me, I’m Sarah Raftery, manicurist, and proud owner of Arch Nail Studio – a sanctuary where sophistication meets self-care. I am excited to share my website relaunch, a revamped space with fresh content and new service offering, that truly reflects my dedication to revolutionising the luxury manicure experience.
Following the original launch in 2023, some events unfolded which meant things changed rather quickly. Firstly, I broke my shoulder meaning I wasn’t able to work for several months. Then, during this enforced time out, I was offered the opportunity to train with Marina Dobyk, industry frontrunner for Russian Manicure education having waited over a year to secure a place. Completing the Gold Manicure training with Marina, and putting into practice these new methods, I felt it was necessary to review my direction and develop my niche offering.
Back in 2020, during my original training, I learnt Builder Gel and Hard Gel application as part of an overall nail technician course. It was some time later, having worked mainly with soft gels that I gained the experience, through a number of advanced courses that I felt happy with employing the techniques needed to gain the finish I desired with these products. Training with Marina was the final piece of the puzzle and I am now extremely excited to update my services and offer the full range of gel products for natural nails.
I am pleased share the highlights of my relaunch, the introduction of the Russian Manicure technique – a true game-changer in the world of nail care.
