About

Enter through the building door beside the cafe and ring the top of the two intercoms, labeled Mia skin bar, to be let in. Parking is on the street. Hours are Wednesday and Thursday 11am to 8pm, Friday 11am to 7pm, and Saturday 10am to 6pm.

Cuticle care is offered by appointment or as a walk-in. The salon says its pedicures stand out when combined with other services.

Custom nail orders include replacing a single nail for $12, redoing a sold-out design for $75, and a custom set for $95, with every custom set made in a medium almond shape.

Appointments need a deposit when they are scheduled, and the request is denied without one. Deposits are non-refundable and can be transferred once, unless the studio cancels or reschedules. Clients receive a confirmation after booking and need to confirm, or the appointment is canceled. There is a 15-minute grace period for late arrivals. The policies set out fees for late cancellations and no-shows, and the amounts are stated in more than one place, so review them before booking. Payment is accepted by Zelle, CashApp or cash. Instagram direct messages get replies only for full inquiries, with priority given to existing clients.

The salon says its nail enhancement service is different from others, and it describes its staff as highly trained.
