How we protect your day

Your schedule is protected

Every service is booked for the time it actually takes. Where visits do overlap, it is planned rather than improvised, and the prep is protected either way. The schedule is built to let you do your best work.

Your guests are yours

A small team on purpose. Guests come back for the person who did their nails last time, and you build that book. The relationship is yours to grow.

The products are already decided

HEMA-free and TPO-free gels, plant-based hand and foot care, single-use files, Dazzle Dry for anyone who cannot have a lamp. Nothing here is something you would not put on your own hands.

A real day off

Monday, Wednesday through Friday ten to seven, weekends ten to six. Tuesday the salon is closed, for everyone, no exceptions and no calls.

03

The room, and the people in it

The room is calm on purpose, and that calm is for you as much as for the guest in the chair. We look after the people who do the work, because it shows in the work.

Time that is yoursBreaks between guests, taken properly.
Looked after tooThe matcha and espresso are not only for guests.
Your judgment countsIf a nail should not be worked over, you stop. You will be backed, every time.
ParkingDesignated spaces, plus free street parking all around.

Everything you work with is provided. You bring your own drill, and that is all.
