What specialty nail designs do you offer?
We specialize in a wide variety of advanced designs, including cat-eye effects and custom artistic patterns. Our technician Lily is particularly noted for her ability to execute any design a client requests.

Our staff, including Tom, takes pride in educating clients on their options. Builder gel is often preferred for a more natural feel and flexibility, while acrylic provides a traditional strong extension. We will help you choose based on your nail health and lifestyle.

Yes! Our technicians use precision tools and take their time to correct shapes and designs that didn't meet your expectations elsewhere, ensuring you leave with exactly what you wanted.
Is the staff friendly to new customers?
Absolutely. Multiple reviews highlight our team as being 'nothing but friendly' and 'very accommodating,' whether you are a first-time visitor or a regular.
When are you open during the week?
We are open Monday through Saturday from 9:30 AM to 7:00 PM, and on Sundays from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM to accommodate busy schedules.
Do I need to book a specific technician?
While our entire staff is highly trained, clients often request specialists like Lily, Tom, or Eric by name for specific services like builder gel or intricate art.
