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!”
