Project overview

A clearer digital home for Shalicious.

Shalicious Nails needed one place where clients could understand the complete treatment offering, see the quality of the work and find the practical information needed before making contact.

Novum Atelier brought the salon’s services, portfolio, experience, reviews, loyalty benefits, policies and booking details into one considered website.

The brief

Create a website that felt recognisably Shalicious: polished, expressive and welcoming, with a clear route from exploring the work to making an appointment.

The response

The website balances visual personality with practical information. The work remains prominent, while organised treatment categories, reassurance and visible contact options help clients decide what they need and take the next step.

Strategic direction

Designed around the way clients choose.

The website needed to do two things well: show the quality of the work and answer the practical questions that influence whether someone books.

The structure moves from first impression into treatments, portfolio work, the salon experience, reviews, loyalty information, policies and direct contact.

A clear mobile hierarchy keeps the booking action and essential service information close at hand.
Mobile

The same clarity on every screen.

The mobile layout keeps the main service message, portfolio and booking action easy to find without reducing the personality of the design.

Services

The treatment range, organised.

Expandable treatment information makes the full offering easier to explore without placing every service description on screen at once.

Clients can move between Nail Services, Bio Sculpture, Gelish, Waxing, Threading, Lashes and Brows before choosing the relevant enquiry action.

The “Choose your treatment” section: a numbered list of treatments beside an information panel for Nail Services with an enquiry button.
Structured treatment categories make the service range easier to scan and understand.
Client experience

More than an appointment.

The website also communicates what clients can expect from the experience: choosing a treatment, sharing references and leaving feeling renewed.

This gives the salon’s personality a role beyond the practical service list.

The “More than an appointment” section with three numbered steps, from choosing a treatment to leaving feeling renewed.
Three simple steps explain the experience without overcomplicating the booking journey.
Portfolio

The work remains the focus.

Large-format photography gives Shalicious space to demonstrate different styles, detail and custom nail art through the work itself.

Scope

What Novum created.

Built to remain useful after launch.

Shalicious received private access for managing routine website content after launch.

The system allows updates to services, photographs, policies, reviews, specials and contact information without exposing editing controls to public visitors.
