Jenni Draper brings hand health-focused nail residency to John Frieda Mayfair
Celebrity nail artist Jenni Draper has joined John Frieda Mayfair for a twice-weekly residency, expanding the salon’s offering with hand-health-focused manicures and bespoke pedicures.
Draper has created an exclusive seven-treatment menu for the Aldford Street salon, with prices ranging from £65 to £120. The residency broadens John Frieda Mayfair’s services beyond its established focus on hair colour, precision cutting and styling.
The treatments combine detailed nail preparation with advanced e-file work, specialist tools made in Sheffield and prescriptive base coats.
Dany LeBeau, Salon Manager at John Frieda Mayfair, said: “We're really excited to welcome Jenni to the team. Her experience in session work, combined with her care for healthy, beautiful nails, makes her a natural fit for the salon.”
Hand rejuvenation moves onto the manicure menu
The £105 Signature Luxury Manicure combines Draper’s classic manicure with CACI Hand Rejuvenation, which the salon describes as a non-surgical facelift for the hands. John Frieda says the residency marks the first time the treatment has been available in Central London.
The service places a hand mask beneath CACI’s Electro Gloves, which use microcurrent technology to lift, firm and hydrate the skin. The treatment is designed to address visible signs of ageing, including age spots and fine lines.
The wider manicure menu includes a 45-minute classic service using Chanel polish for £65 and a 60-minute LED gel-polish manicure for £85. A 90-minute builder-gel treatment costs £120 and uses fibre-infused gel to create a protective apex ] for clients seeking additional support while growing their nails.

Elsewhere, Draper’s 60-minute dry gel pedicure, priced at £85, is designed for regular maintenance rather than cracked heels or callus removal.
Clients requiring more extensive foot care can choose the £105 luxury pedicure, which includes soaking, hard-skin removal, exfoliation and oil buffing using Draper’s ePedi technique. A gel-polish version costs £120 and lasts 90 minutes.
Draper has spent more than 20 years working as a beauty therapist and session nail artist. Her published credits span celebrity clients, advertising campaigns, editorial shoots and London Fashion Week shows. Her agency profile names Keira Knightley, Lupita Nyong’o, Cate Blanchett and Florence Welch among her clients.
“Being invited to bring my nail expertise to John Frieda is a dream come true,” Draper said. “After 25 years in the beauty industry, to have the opportunity to be part of such an iconic salon and create my signature nail experience for its clients feels incredibly special.”
Draper will work at John Frieda Mayfair every Tuesday and Thursday.
