With a string of awards under her belt Teresa recently won Nail Professional of the Year at the Professional Beauty Awards. She is the founder of bespoke mobile manicure service Nails at Work, I love Lash and pioneer of the exclusive mobile nail bar catering to offices, corporate events and private parties across London and beyond.

Teresa has worked at Harrods where her manicures were in such high demand she had a 4-week waiting list. Formally a qualified educator for CND (Creative Nail Design), she has also worked in various top Mayfair and Knightsbridge salons, including Bliss Spa before going on to set up Nails at Work in 2007.

Now with a team of 12 carefully selected manicurists she has amassed a wide range of clients including The Royal Academy of Arts, Condé Nast, HSBC, Escada, Nickelodeon and Jimmy Choo as well as working on advertising campaigns for Dior and Häagen-Dazs. Celebrity clients include Victoria Beckham, Billie Piper, Mel B., Emma Bunton, Natalie Bassingwaite, Imogen Lloyd Webber, Bella Freud and Jude Law. Teresa has also made an appearance on Wedding TV.

Teresa had her own foldaway tables especially made enabling her to transform any compact space into a professional, fully functional nail bar, equipped with salon style lighting, heated mittens, fluffy towels and and a vast array of on-trend polishes displayed on bespoke colour palettes. With such an eye for detail it's no surprise that Tatler proclaimed 'her manicures are immaculate'.
