Common Nail Concerns We Treat

How It Works

Our nail services start with a consultation and nail health assessment. We consider factors like nail texture, cuticle condition, skin hydration, and your lifestyle (are you a keyboard warrior or lifting weights all week?) before selecting the right service for you.

Our tools are sterilized to medical-grade standards, and we use clean, non-toxic, and vegan options wherever possible. From there, it’s all about enhancing what you already have and bringing your hands and feet back to life.

Every manicure and pedicure ends with expert shaping, buffing, cuticle care, hydration therapy, and optional polish or design.

Benefits of Nail Services

Nail Treatment Process: What To Expect

Before

We begin with a consultation to discuss your goals, preferences, and nail history. If you have damaged nails or prior gel/acrylic residue, we may recommend a conditioning or detox service first.

During

Expect precision filing, shaping, cuticle care, exfoliation, hydration, and polish application. We take our time to ensure every detail is just right.

After

You’ll receive personalized aftercare recommendations based on your nail type and chosen treatment. We’ll also guide you on how to maintain polish longevity and avoid common mistakes like over-trimming cuticles or skipping SPF.

Results Timeline

You’ll leave the same day with polished, beautiful nails. Gel services typically last 10 to 14 days, while classic polish may last 5 to 7 depending on lifestyle. Strengthening treatments show improvement over time with repeated sessions.

Am I a Good Candidate for Nail Services?

Absolutely. Whether you’re someone who gets weekly manicures or you’re new to the self-care game, we tailor every service to your current nail health and goals. We welcome clients with all skin types, nail conditions, and concerns.

If you’re dealing with nail fungus, skin infections, or any medical condition affecting your hands or feet, we recommend checking with a healthcare provider first. Otherwise, everyone is welcome—no judgment, no pressure.
