Come get your nails done by Jessica! She always does a great job on my builder gel manicure. The retention lasts at least 4 weeks and she can do any design. Plus, her and Nathan are always friendly and ready to chat. I truly look forward to getting my nails done each month.

I had been searching for a solid nail salon since moving to Austin and Iโ€™ve found my go to spot finally! I really enjoyed the atmosphere and decorations- felt really welcoming. Jessica was so sweet to greet me and had a wide selection of nail designs. I had Nathan and he was fun to have conversations with. I also enjoyed how meticulous he was with nail prepping. He took his time with my simple nail design (glazed donut nail) and did a fantastic job! Super grateful to have found this place. Highly recommend :)

Best manicure in over 25 years of getting my nails done. Jessica was so patient and detailed. I have eczema and struggle with artificial nails due to allergies. She did such a great job and took time to thin each nail so they looked more natural. She was really positive and it was an absolute joy to visit her salon. The music is upbeat and the salon exudes positivity. Thank you!
