LCN Nail Reconstruction

Wh​at is nail reconstruction?

Often toenails can become unsightly. This could be due to a fungal infection or from trauma to the nail. We offer a service to ​restore nails to a natural look, avoiding embarrassment when your nails are on display! LCN Wilde-Pedique Plus is a unique, ​light cured system which offers painless reconstructive nail correction for damaged and infected nails, providing a natural and ​attractive cosmetic result. Socks and shoes can be worn immediately after treatment and this is therefore ideal for holidays ​and parties.

Ho​w long does it last?

Normally around 3 months, the gel nail gradually grows out and a gap ​appears at the base of the nail that can be filled in. If there is only a small ​amount of nail to attach the gel nail to then the gel nail might come off ​sooner.

Ca​n I pain my nails afterwards?

Yes, the nail can be painted as normal. If the varnish is taken off with nail ​varnish remover the nail is not stained and returns to its natural ​appearance.

Wh​at is the cost?

Nails have to be prepared before the treatment can be applied. One nail is ​£55​ and two nails are £70

Welcome to the foot cabin

Putting your foot health first

My name is Julia Hales and I am the proud owner of the foot cabin. ​After many years of working across health, social care, and housing, I ​decided to retrain and follow my dream of becoming a foot health ​practitioner. In September 2024 I started my journey to become a ​podiatrist and have embarked on a 4 year journey. I am registered and ​insured, and I have enhanced DBS and medical first aid certificates. I ​have a lovely clinic based at my home and I also offer a mobile service ​for my clients who need that extra help. I cover Rushden in ​Northamptonshire and can travel to the surrounding areas.


A bit more about me

I am married with two children and passionate about sports and fitness. ​I have run marathons and competed in triathlons and other events. I am ​a true people person and enjoy to socialise and take part in many ​different groups. I am also a school governor where I offer guidance and ​support from my many years of working at a professionally high level.
