Nail Transformations
Every manicure and pedicure at Olaya & Co. begins with the health of your natural nail. These before and after images show work completed in our Byron Bay studio, from restorative care for tired hands and feet to polished, long-wearing colour. Each result is shaped around what your nails need, never a trend that compromises their strength.
Our nail care is low-toxicity and HEMA-free, using Bio Sculpture and Dazzle Dry for a finish that looks refined and wears beautifully, and that is gentle on the nail beneath it. Whether you prefer a clean, natural look or a confident pop of colour, every detail is considered, so your nails leave the studio healthier than when they arrived.
Manicures
A beautiful manicure starts long before the colour goes on. Each appointment begins with careful shaping, gentle cuticle work and attention to the condition of your natural nail, so the finish sits on a healthy foundation. The before and after images show how considered preparation transforms hands, from a clean, natural polish to a glossy, long-wearing gel.
We choose Bio Sculpture gel for strength and flexibility without harsh removal, and Dazzle Dry for a quick-drying, low-toxicity polish that keeps its shine. Whether you're after a subtle everyday finish or a statement shade for a special occasion, your manicure is tailored to your nails, your lifestyle and the look you love.
Pedicures
A pedicure at Olaya & Co. is as much about care as it is about colour. Each appointment begins with a gentle soak, careful shaping and attention to cuticles and skin, so your feet feel as good as they look. The before and after images below show how thoughtful preparation transforms feet, from softened, refreshed skin to a polished, long-wearing finish.
We use Bio Sculpture gel for a durable, flexible finish that holds up to sandals, sand and salt water, and Dazzle Dry for a quick-drying, low-toxicity polish that keeps its gloss. Whether you prefer a soft natural tone or a bold shade for summer, every pedicure is tailored to your feet, your lifestyle and the way you like to feel.
Client Reviews
Absolutely obsessed with my nails! Hannah did such an amazing job, one of the cleanest and most perfect manicures I've had in Byron, and I've been living here for 10 years!

Olaia has been cutting my hair for years, and I honestly wouldn't go to anyone else. I completely trust her to understand exactly what I'm looking for, and she always does an amazing job.

Have you ever met a magician? That's Olaia. She makes you feel cared for and listened to, and always knows exactly what your hair needs. 15+ years in, and no one else touches my hair.
