    Aftercare tip

    Massage a drop of cuticle oil into your nails every day: it keeps your cuticles soft and your BIAB looking good for longer.

    Hi, I’m Renée

    the nail artist behind PookieNailz

    I started doing my own nails about three years ago, and around two years ago I decided to take it seriously and really learn the craft. I’ve taken a few courses since then to keep improving and give my clients the best service I can. Somewhere along the way, I completely fell in love with it.

    What I love most is getting to be creative and meet new people all the time. Coming up with nail designs is one of the things that makes my brain go quiet, in the best way. And yapping has always been one of my hobbies, so appointments usually come with a good chat, some laughs, and a chill series or music playing in the background.

    Every appointment is one-on-one and personal. I always leave enough time so we can talk through your ideas and create a set that feels like you, without having to rush. I love coming up with new designs, and I’d especially love to do more Freestyles. So if you’re happy to give me some creative freedom, don’t be shy to ask about one.

    Outside the studio, I’m usually gaming online with friends (Valorant is a big one), riding my motorcycle, reading, or listening to music. I’m a bit of a nerd, and my music taste has a slightly edgy side. Nothing But Thieves is my favourite band.

    I’d love to keep growing PookieNailz into a brand that feels like me: creative, personal and a little bit edgy. I’m really happy you’re here. Tell me what you’re currently into, a book, a game, a band, or a nail design you’ve had saved forever. Let’s chat.

    My policy

    A few simple rules so every appointment stays relaxed for everyone.

    1. Planning & cancelling

      Need to move or cancel your appointment? Please do so at least 24 hours in advance. For cancellations within 24 hours or a no-show, I have to charge 50% of the treatment cost. A new appointment can only be made after payment. In case of force majeure, this rule can be reconsidered.

    2. Running late

      I work with a tight schedule. If you’re more than 15 minutes late, unfortunately the treatment can’t go ahead, so the next client doesn’t have to wait. In case of force majeure, the treatment can be shortened, depending on my availability.

    3. No extra guests

      The studio is on private property. Because of the limited space and to stay focused, it’s not possible to bring extra guests, children or pets.

    4. Hygiene & health

      Safety above all. Please come with clean hands. Are you ill or do you have a cold or the flu? Please reschedule in time. I reserve the right to refuse treatment if you show signs of illness.

    5. Nail condition

      I only treat healthy nails. If you have an infection, fungus or severely damaged nails, I’ll refer you to your GP and can’t carry out the treatment.

    6. Pick the right treatment

      Make sure you choose the right service when booking. Have a special design in mind? Send me a quick message, so I know we have enough time!

    7. Age limit

      You’re very welcome from 16 years old. Younger than that? Then written permission from a parent or guardian is required.

    8. Respect & payment

      I aim for a nice, relaxed atmosphere. Respectful communication is a must. You can pay right after the treatment by payment request (Tikkie), cash or Treatwell.

    FAQ

    Everything to know before your appointment.

    Can’t find your question, or unsure which service to book?

    Send me a DM
    What should I book?
    • No product on your nails yet? Choose New BIAB set (in the form: Nieuwe BIAB set).
    • Need a refill on a set I did? Choose BIAB refill (BIAB Opvulling).
    • Want to start fresh? Choose Removal + new BIAB set (Verwijderen oude BIAB + nieuwe set).
    How can I book?

    Book through Salonized with the Book now button, or send me a DM on Instagram. Clients are 16+.

    I have product from another nail tech. What now?

    Choose Removal + new set and let me know in the notes that it’s another salon’s work. This costs an extra €5. I’ll confirm it with you at your appointment.

    Want nail art? Select an art level separately.

    How do the nail-art levels work?

    The levels are based on the complexity and amount of detail.

    • Solid colour: one colour, without a nail-art design.
    • Level 1: simple details like shapes, cat-eye or French.
    • Level 2: more detail or simple 3D art. Allow about 1.5 to 2 hours.
    • Level 3: lots of detail, 3D art, charms or a different design on each nail.
    What does BIAB mean?

    BIAB stands for Builder In A Bottle. It’s a builder gel used to create a structured overlay on the natural nail.

    I apply BIAB over your natural nails to create a smooth, structured base. We can keep it nude or add colour and nail art. I use The Gel Bottle for BIAB.

    How long does BIAB last and when should I come for a refill?

    BIAB usually lasts about 3 to 4 weeks. I recommend a refill every 3 to 4 weeks, before the grown-out part gets too long, so your nails stay strong and the gel doesn’t start to lift.

    Is BIAB the same as extensions? Can I get short ones?

    My BIAB service is mainly for natural-nail overlays. Short extensions are possible (€15), but BIAB isn’t intended for extensions, so I can’t guarantee how long they’ll last.

    To keep your nails durable and healthy, I only offer short extensions with BIAB.

    What happens at my appointment?

    Natural nail prep, then the BIAB overlay, then your chosen finish, then the final details.

    Not sure if BIAB is right for me?

    Send me a DM before booking and I’ll help you choose.

    How do I get to your studio?

    My studio is in Lelystad, about a 10-minute walk from the station. It’s on the 5th floor and there’s no lift. For safety reasons I don’t share my address online. You get the exact address and directions once you’ve booked.

    Is there parking? What’s at the studio?

    Free parking is available by the building. I offer coffee, tea, soft drinks and sometimes matcha. There’s also a TV, so you can watch your own show while I do your nails.
