Reviews
Kind words, in their shades
My BIAB lasted four weeks through gardening and a beach trip. Jade explained everything and never rushed me.
Danielle R.BIAB in Peach Silk I brought a photo of my mom’s sweet peas and Sienna turned it into ten tiny flowers. I cried a little.
Ama K.Nail art, garden party set The calmest hour of my month. The sweet tea is a bonus, the cherry red is the reason I keep coming back.
Laura M.Gel manicure in Cherry Gloss Booked online in a minute, and the total on the menu was exactly what I paid. That never happens.
Priya S.Pedicure with paraffin Lena fixed a broken nail the day before my wedding and you honestly cannot tell which one it was.
Caroline B.Nail repair in Milk Bath Chrome over lilac. People stop me in the grocery store to ask where I had them done.
Taylor W.Gel with chrome powder
Good to know
How long will my nails last?
A classic polish lasts about a week, gel two to three weeks and BIAB three to four. Each service page says how long to expect.
Do you remove gel from other salons?
Yes, gently, by soaking and never by peeling or drilling into your nail. Add removal to your visit on the menu.
How do I book nail art?
Book the nail art service and send us a photo of your idea. Sets over two hours take a $25 deposit, which comes off your total.
What if I need to cancel?
Change or cancel up to 24 hours before at no cost. After that, we keep the deposit or charge half of the service.
