Consultation

We look at your nail bed, your last set, and what's growing in. We ask how you'll use your hands this week. Polish gets picked from that conversation, not a wall.

Prices include single-use files, cuticle oil, and the chair-time it takes to do the work properly. We don't up-charge for shaping or for picking your polish off the wall.

The Manual · § V · House Notes

New on Google.
Old hands at the work.

We're too new to have a review wall. So instead — the rules of the house, in the salon's own words.

Note 01
We don't cut live cuticle, ever. We push it back after the soak — that's the whole technique.
House standard · cuticle
Note 02
Files leave with you. One client, one file, no exceptions, no upcharge.

Note 03
Walk-ins are welcome. If we can't take you in the moment, we'll give you the next honest slot.
