Fabulous nail salon! Every member of staff is brilliant and knows their stuff and super friendly. Very reasonably priced compared to salons in Greenwich for example. I’m a regular and wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Leanne, founder

Hi, I’m Leanne.

Founder of the award-winning 1st Secret Nails.

Glossy nude almond nails

Seventeen years old

Where it started

My journey with nails began at seventeen, straight out of school, and what started as a way to get by quickly became a calling.

The 1st Secret Nails shopfront on Well Hall Road, Eltham, lit at dusk

2016

In 2016 I founded 1st Secret Nails with a simple vision: a place where creativity, care and confidence come together.

Now

Always learning

I believe in never standing still: always learning, always refining, always pushing for bespoke, high-quality nail art that feels personal to every client.

Whether it’s detailed art or a simple, flawless set, every appointment is about making you feel looked after, confident, and truly you.

“Nails are more than beauty. They’re self-care, self-expression, and a little moment of calm in a busy world.”

With love, LeanneFounder, 1st Secret Nails
