Aleksandra aka Ola

Ola's journey into the world of nails started over eight years ago as a personal passion, but in the past year, she's turned that love into a full-time career. With an eye for detail and a creative touch, she's dedicated to making every set of nails a work of art.

Ola loves a short-to-medium square or a modern almond shape for that perfect balance of elegance and practicality. When it comes to colour, she gravitates towards timeless nude pinks, but emerald green holds a special place in her heart—it's her absolute favourite!

The highlight of Ola's day is connecting with clients, transforming their nails, and making them feel amazing. But she also takes great pride in the behind-the-scenes work—ensuring every tool is meticulously sanitised, disinfected, and sterilised to create a safe and seamless experience for everyone.

Outside the salon, Ola's adventurous side shines. She has a background in showjumping and racehorse breeding, loves getting lost in painting and sketching, and has a deep appreciation for cars and motorbikes.

Alannah

Alannah is the warm and welcoming face of our salon, always ready with a smile to greet both new and returning clients. Alongside her role here, she's currently studying English and History, with dreams of becoming a teacher in the future.

Alannah loves a short-to-medium almond shape, but with a softer, more rounded finish rather than a sharp point. When it comes to colour, she's all about timeless pinks and the ever-classic French tips—elegant, simple, and always in style.

Interacting with clients is Alannah's highlight of the day. She loves catching up with familiar faces, meeting new ones, and being part of the welcoming atmosphere at the salon. And, of course, she enjoys spending time with her wonderful coworkers too!

When she's not at work or studying, Alannah enjoys relaxing with her favourite TV shows and movies, or getting lost in a good book—always on the lookout for her next great read.

Katrina 

With over a decade in the nail and beauty industry, Katrina's journey has taken her from renowned salons, where she experienced both the fast-paced nail bar world and the serene luxury of high-end manicures and pedicures, to the corporate sphere of recruitment, HR, and project management. Combining her extensive experience and keen eye for industry gaps, she founded Zencora to bring high-end, luxury nail experiences at affordable prices—because everyone deserves to be pampered.

A classic girly at heart, Katrina loves a short, soft-rounded nail in bold red. To her, red is more than just a colour—it's a statement of confidence, power, and elegance. And who knows? Maybe that signature red has played a part in her success!

Nothing compares to hearing client feedback that confirms the Zencora experience—that moment when a guest leaves feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and momentarily detached from the outside world. She believes in the power of holistic treatments, where nails are just one part of a truly therapeutic experience.

Outside of work, Katrina finds peace in crocheting and cross-stitching, quiet hobbies that help calm her mind. She also dabbles in trading and investing (though she jokes that losing money in five minutes might not be the best skill). A lover of self-development books, the one that truly changed her perspective is 'Reality Transurfing' by Vadim Zeland. And if that's not enough, she's also known as a bit of a dog whisperer, training her two tiny Russian Toy Terriers to perform tricks!

As a qualified aesthetician, she specializes in face and body treatments, skin and hair rejuvenation, ensuring that clients receive the highest level of care. Her passion for wellness and beauty led her to co-found Zencora, where she strives to create an environment that blends luxury with relaxation.

While Paulina loves experimenting with bold, colorful, and funky designs from time to time, her ultimate go-to look remains classic and timeless—gel extensions in a coffin shape with a flawless French finish. Elegant, sleek, and effortlessly versatile, this style complements any occasion and outfit, making it a true staple in her beauty routine.

For Paulina, the most rewarding part of her day is connecting with clients and ensuring they have an exceptional experience. She is deeply passionate about customer care and loves sharing Zencora's mission, creating a space where clients can fully relax and rejuvenate. Seeing them leave refreshed, confident, and uplifted is what makes her work truly fulfilling.

Outside of work, Paulina is passionate about self-development, a journey sparked by 'The Success Principles' by Jack Canfield. She loves connecting with like-minded people and exploring personal growth. She also finds balance through yoga and meditation, which help her stay grounded amid the fast-paced world of business and beauty.
