About

Besides nails, it offers eyelash services and waxing across many body areas.

The nail menu is broad. It includes regular manicures and pedicures, several named spa versions with different treatments such as sugar scrubs, masks, paraffin and callus care, and combination packages. Polish and gel polish changes are offered for hands and toes. For longer-lasting or enhanced looks, the salon works with acrylic, gel, SNS dipping, Gel X extensions, liquid gel and sculpture full sets and refills. A separate kiddie and add-on group covers children's manicures, pedicures and polish, along with nail shaping, nail art, French designs, cateye, chrome color and matte top coats.

Eyelash services include individual extensions, semi-natural individual lashes, strip lashes and lash removal. The salon describes individual lashes as long-lasting and natural-looking, and strip lashes as a fit for one-time events. Lash services use sensitive adhesives. Waxing covers the lip, chin, eyebrows, face, neck, sideburns, underarms, arms, shoulders, back, bikini, Brazilian, bottom and legs. The salon says its technicians are trained and use gentle products for sensitive skin. Clients with skin concerns or medical conditions are asked to talk with the salon before waxing.

Sanitation is described as the salon's top priority. Sharp instruments are cleaned and sterilized in a dry heat sterilizer, and each instrument pouch is opened in front of the client after cleaning. The salon's stated aim is professional nail care in a clean and relaxing setting, with lasting client relationships built on trust.

Some practical details: appointment times are approximate, and clients are asked to allow 3 to 6 hours to cancel or reschedule and to call if they will be late. Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. A gratuity of 15 to 20 percent is customary for exceptional service. Purchased items cannot be returned, and the salon is not liable for lost, stolen or damaged personal items. Gift cards and certificates are available but must be presented at the time of service and cannot be redeemed for cash. Prices are subject to change without notice.

The salon puts sanitation first, using dry heat sterilization for sharp tools and opening each instrument pouch in front of the client, and aims to build lasting relationships based on trust and care.
