Message From The Founder

Hi, I’m Leanne, the founder of 1st Secret Nails.

My journey with nails began at 17, straight after finishing school. What started as a way to get by quickly became something much more. The more I learned, the more I practiced, and the more clients I met, the deeper my love for nail art grew.

In 2016, I founded 1st Secret Nails with a simple vision: to create a space where creativity, care, and confidence come together. Over the years, I’ve been incredibly lucky to work alongside supportive teammates and to welcome amazing clients who have grown with me and my salon. Your trust and loyalty mean everything.

Like any journey, there have been challenges and mistakes along the way, but each one has shaped me. I believe in never standing still — I’m constantly learning, updating my skills, and pushing myself to deliver bespoke, high-quality nail art that feels personal to every client.

At 1st Secret Nails, nails are more than just beauty — they’re self-care, self-expression, and a little moment of calm in a busy world. Whether it’s detailed nail art or a simple, flawless set, every appointment is about making you feel looked after, confident, and truly you.

Thank you for being part of my journey. I can’t wait to continue creating, learning, and growing — together.

With love,
Leanne | Founder, 1st Secret Nails
