The hands behind the work

A boutique, not a salon

I'm CC, and Ovora Atelier is seventeen years of this craft brought into one quiet room. Not a conveyor-belt salon — a boutique. One chair, one client at a time, and the unhurried attention your hands deserve.

My work is precise and intentional: every shape considered, every finish clean, nothing rushed. Hygiene is never an afterthought — pedicures are performed completely dry, with single-use kits and sterilised tools as standard.

For many of my clients, this hour is the calmest part of the week — a small, private, safe space to exhale. You'll leave with beautiful nails and, I hope, feeling a little lighter than when you came in.

Kind words

What clients say

Seventeen years of care, in their words.

★★★★★

“CC was absolutely the best! I came to her with some pretty bad acrylic nails from another salon and CC went above and beyond to fix them. I have finally found a nail professional who does the best work I've ever had — and I've had nails for almost 20 years. CC is now my forever go-to nail person. I highly recommend!”

Before you book

How booking works

Three simple steps, no surprises. Your appointment is held for you alone from the moment you book.

01

Choose your service

Pick from the menu online — length, shape and add-ons like French or chrome are all selected as you book, so your time is planned properly. Not sure? Book the Structured Gel Manicure and we'll adjust on the day.

02

A small deposit holds it

A $20 deposit reserves most services; $30 for longer sets and The Refined pedicure. It isn't an extra charge — it comes straight off your total at the appointment. A card is kept securely on file.

03

Rebook before you leave

Fills every 2–3 weeks keep your set strongest and your price lowest, so we'll set your next time before you go. Need to move it? 48 hours' notice carries your deposit to the new date.

Deposits are non-refundable. Late cancellations and no-shows forfeit the deposit — full policies are on the service menu.

Reserve your time

Your chair is waiting

A $20 deposit holds your time ($30 for longer sets and The Refined) — and comes straight off your service.
