Precision & care
in every detail
Every service at Queen Bee Nails combines world-class technique with a deep commitment to the long-term health of your natural nails. No shortcuts. No compromises.
Experience the precision of a Russian Manicure with our E-file Naked service. Using professional e-file techniques, we expertly tidy your cuticles and shape your nails to perfection — all without any covering colour. Your natural nails are buffed to a smooth, glossy finish that speaks for itself. Perfect for those who love clean, elegant nails that are effortlessly polished.
Recommended for clients with weak, damaged or longer nails, our Hard Gel service begins with the same meticulous e-file cuticle work as our Natural Finish — expertly tidying the cuticles and shaping the nails to perfection before any product is applied. A protective hard gel overlay is then built over the natural nail, adding structure and strength, shielding it from breakage and supporting healthy growth. Finished with your choice of colour for results that last up to three weeks.
BIAB (Builder-in-a-Bottle) is the ideal choice for clients with short natural nails who want to strengthen and grow them without extensions. Every BIAB service begins with the same meticulous e-file cuticle work as our Natural Finish — expertly tidying the cuticles and shaping the nails to perfection before any product is applied. BIAB is then built over the natural nail, adding thickness and resilience from within and delivering a beautifully even, long-lasting colour finish.
Our Luxury Gel Pedicure is a professional treatment in a class of its own. Rather than the prolonged foot soak used at most nail bars, we use a new generation of smart keratolytic skin softeners with an increased ability to target only the dead cells of the feet and skin around the nails — leaving healthy skin entirely untouched. This peeling cream works intelligently, harnessing natural fruit acids together with aloe vera and allantoin to intensively soften calluses and dead skin while calming the surrounding skin and preventing irritation. The result is genuinely smooth, clean, beautifully groomed feet — achieved safely, hygienically and without compromise. Finished with a long-lasting gel colour of your choice.
From subtle accents to full creative designs, Tlekshi's nail art elevates any service. Choose from single-nail art, simple designs, chrome and cat-eye effects, or a classic French finish. Prices vary by complexity — ask at your appointment or browse the gallery for inspiration.
Broken or lifted nail? We offer professional repair from $10, restoring the nail neatly and securely so the rest of your set continues to look its best. No shortcuts — each repair is done with the same care and precision as a full service.
Safe, damage-free removal of gel, BIAB, hard gel, acrylic and SNS. No ripping, no aggressive drilling into the natural nail — just careful, considerate work that leaves your nails in the best possible condition for whatever comes next.
A neat, polished gel colour on your toe nails — no pedicure treatment involved. Perfect for keeping toes looking fresh between pedicure appointments or when you simply want a clean, lasting colour on your feet.
Every set of nail extensions is a bespoke creation — and Tlekshi treats them that way. Because the scope, shape, length and design of each project is unique to you, extensions are quoted individually based on your nails and what you have in mind. Availability is limited, so if you're interested, reach out directly to discuss your vision and check the calendar. You can see examples of Tlekshi's extension work in the gallery below.
The heart behind the crown.
Tlekshi Giles
Pronounced: tlek-shee — a Kazakh name meaning "one who brings good wishes and blessings."
Trained by leading nail masters in Kazakhstan, Tlekshi brings world-class expertise in nail health, gel application, nail art, and the globally sought-after Russian Manicure e-file technique to every appointment.

Everything you need to know before your appointment.
The Russian Manicure is a professional nail technique that originated in Eastern Europe and has become one of the most sought-after methods in the world. Unlike a traditional manicure where cuticles are pushed back or soaked, the Russian Manicure uses an electric e-file — a precision rotary tool — to meticulously remove dead skin and product residue from around the nail plate and cuticle area. When performed by a trained technician, this creates an exceptionally clean, defined nail border that gel or hard gel can adhere to far more effectively than with conventional prep. The result is a finish that looks immaculate, lasts significantly longer, and genuinely supports the long-term health of your natural nails.
Most nail bars rely on a prolonged foot soak to soften the skin before working on calluses and dead skin. Our Luxury Gel Pedicure takes a different and more professional approach — we use keratolytic products, which are specially formulated to gently dissolve and lift dead skin cells and calluses chemically, without the need for lengthy soaking. This is a more hygienic, controlled and effective method that produces noticeably smoother results. No waterlogged skin, no rushing through a soak timer — just a thorough, professional treatment that genuinely improves skin texture, reduces calluses and leaves your feet smooth, clean and beautifully groomed.
BIAB (Builder-in-a-Bottle) nails typically last two to three weeks without lifting or chipping when applied with the Russian Manicure technique. Because we prepare the nail bed thoroughly using the e-file method, adhesion is significantly better than with traditional manicures. Most clients return every 3 weeks for a fresh set or infill.
Yes — when performed correctly by a trained technician, the Russian Manicure is one of the safest and most nail-friendly techniques available. Tlekshi trained under leading nail masters in Kazakhstan and uses professional-grade e-files with precision bits designed specifically for cuticle work. The key is skill and the right technique — never rushing, never cutting corners.
BIAB (Builder Gel) is applied as a single gel product that both strengthens and adds colour, curing under UV light. It is more flexible than acrylic, far less damaging to the natural nail, and contains no harsh chemicals like MMA. Acrylic is a two-part powder and liquid system that sets harder and typically requires more aggressive removal. For most clients seeking strength, beauty and nail health, BIAB is the superior choice.
We recommend returning every 2–3 weeks for a maintenance appointment. This keeps your nails looking fresh, maintains the integrity of the gel, and allows Tlekshi to check on the health of your natural nails underneath. Leaving gel on longer than 3–4 weeks increases the risk of lifting, moisture getting under the product, and potential nail damage.
Yes. All gel products used at Queen Bee Nails are HEMA-free (Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate free). HEMA is a common allergen found in many cheaper gel products that can cause sensitisation over time. We use only premium professional products that are both safer for you and deliver superior, long-lasting results.
