Sami Pelling

Meet Sami

Hi! I’m Sami, and I’ve been creating beautiful nails for over 11 years. My journey started at my dining table in Chatham, Kent, though I’m originally an Eastbourne girl. I’ve lived in a few places thanks to military life – including Barnstaple in North Devon (I still miss the sea air!) – and I’m now rooted in Saffron Walden, Essex.

I run a cosy, one-to-one home salon where I specialise in Builder In A Bottle™, hard gel, and gel nails. Nail artistry has always been my creative outlet and my calm place, and I still absolutely love making someone feel amazing the moment they look at their fresh set.

Life is full-on in the best way. I’m married to an Army man, and mum to two brilliant teenage boys who keep me busy, grounded, and laughing. Alongside working full time in the salon, I now work part-time in sales and marketing, with travel as a side venture - helping people book unforgettable trips and showing what’s possible when you say yes to new opportunities.

I’m a big believer in growth, confidence, and opening doors for other women. Whether it’s nails, business, travel, or personal development, I love supporting others to step into something bigger for themselves.

Creativity has always followed me, too. I’ve published “The Ultimate Guide to Becoming a Master Nail Technician” and several romance novels, because why not add a bit of spice and storytelling to life?

At the heart of everything I do is simple:
I want people to feel fantastic - inside and out.

Whether I’m doing your nails, helping you plan your next holiday, working behind the scenes in sales and marketing, or writing a story, that’s always my goal.

Can’t wait to meet you x
