About

The business started in 2021 as a single salon and has since grown to six locations across Chicago. Each location has its own hours and nearby landmarks, so clients can pick the one closest to work or home. The Streeterville salon sits near Navy Pier and has street parking, while the Logan Square salon is in a plaza with more parking at the back.

The business says its aim is to elevate the nail industry and describes its culture as people-first, built on belonging, purpose and excellence. It says it puts nail artists at the center of its planning, reasoning that when staff are looked after they can give their full attention to clients, and that its services are never rushed. It reports a 72% repeat-client rating and about 3,500 online reviews, plus many more offline, figures it presents as its own claims.

Walk-ins are welcome, though reservations are encouraged. Clients are asked to check in five minutes before their appointment, and arrivals more than 15 minutes late may need to reschedule or shorten their service, with the full service value still charged. Clients can request a specific technician. Kids and pets are welcome, and the business suggests a 20% gratuity, prefers cash, and says all tips go to the nail technician.

Tools are handled carefully: metal tools are sterilized, disposable tools are used once, and pedicure bowls are jet-less, with the business saying they do not recirculate water. The salons are described as fume-free and free of acrylic dust and strong chemical smells. Clients are asked to mention any chemical or substance allergies before service begins.

Membership is available at $105 a month, with a one-time $25 setup fee and $129 in monthly credit for services and upgrades that does not expire. A $149 monthly family plan includes $200 in credits. Members can freeze a membership for up to three months at a time, and receive 25% off services paid out of pocket. Changes and cancellations made at least 12 hours ahead are free; later changes cost $19, or $29 for combos, and late cancellations are charged half the service value, with no-shows charged in full. Same-day appointments are final, and service problems should be raised at the salon, as refunds are not issued once a service is completed.

The business puts its nail artists at the center of its operations and describes its goal as raising standards across the nail industry.

The salons are described as fume-free and kid- and pet-friendly.
