At Sassy Minx, we know that beauty journeys are personal. Whether you’ve been travelling, tried somewhere new, or simply needed a quick fix — it’s all good.
What matters to us is where your nails are now and how we can give them the strength, structure and style you deserve.
When you book an Other Salon Fill, we take a few extra steps behind the scenes. Why? Because we care deeply about your nail health — and that starts with knowing what’s underneath the polish.
Sometimes product starts to separate from your natural nail. It can be tiny, invisible under polish or more obvious.
Why we care:
Lifting creates space for moisture and bacteria, which can lead to irritation or even greenie infections. We gently remove any lifting to keep things fresh and safe.
A well-structured nail isn’t just about looks. It’s the foundation of a long lasting manicure.
Why we care:
We check that the apex (the little stress-relieving arch) is in the right place and that the product is evenly balanced. Poor structure can lead to stress cracks, breaks or discomfort so we reshape where needed to help your nails thrive.
Sometimes we need to remove the colour to see what’s really going on underneath.
Why we care:
We’re looking for signs of brittleness, over-filing or product that may not be compatible with our systems. It’s not about fault it’s about safety and setting you up for beautiful results.
Our “Other Salon Fill” is priced at $95, just slightly more than our standard infill.
That covers:
A proper assessment of your current nails
Safe removal of any lifting or questionable product
Reshaping and restoring structure to Sassy Minx standards
🪄 If your nails are in great condition, we’ll happily adjust to the standard fill price no worries at all.
But if things are truly past their prime think severe lifting, pseudomonas (green/black) infections, brittle product or MMA (that harsh acrylic that can’t be soaked off) we’ll always talk you through it first.
💬 Worst case? We start fresh
That means a complete removal and brand-new set, beautifully structured and built to last.
👉 In this scenario, the total is $125, which includes full removal and a fresh set tailored just for you.
We’re not about quick in-and-out appointments. We’re about care, precision and real connection.
That means:
Judgement-free consultations
Meticulous hygiene (individually sterilised tools every time)
Experienced, warm technicians who love what they do
A glass of wine, cuppa or cocktail while you relax ✨
At Sassy Minx, we don’t rush the process because we’re building beauty that lasts.
Not at all. We’ve seen it all, and we’re here to support, not shame. Our checks are simply about protecting your natural nails and giving you the best possible result moving forward.
It might, depending on what we find. We’ll always keep you informed and make sure you’re comfortable with what’s happening. Expect roughly 75 minutes & 90 if doing a full removal & full set.
If we discover incompatible product (like MMA) or major issues with the current set, we may recommend a safe removal and fresh set. You’ll always be consulted first.
✔ We never judge past work — we simply build forward with love
✔ Our checks are about nail health, not salon politics
✔ You’ll only pay more if extra time and care are genuinely required
✔ Either way, you’ll walk out feeling confident, polished and cared for
✨ Because it’s not just about pretty nails — it’s about feeling seen, safe and valued
Treat your nails to the attention they deserve.
