Visits are by appointment only. Clients can book online, call or text, message on WhatsApp, or send an Instagram DM. The studio is open Monday to Friday 10AM to 8PM, Saturday 10AM to 6PM and Sunday 11AM to 6PM, and parking is free. Each appointment starts with a consultation covering nail history, the shape someone wants, their lifestyle and any inspiration photos they bring.

The menu covers Russian gel manicures, which take 60 to 150 minutes, nail extensions that take 90 to 180 minutes, and pedicures that take 60 to 120 minutes and include gel polish options. Extensions are built on upper and lower forms, with length and shape adjusted to each client, using structured gel or builder gel. The studio uses premium European gel systems.

Cuticle prep and shaping are done with e-file bits that are sterilized. The Russian dry manicure is an e-file method focused on cuticle and nail prep, done without soaking. According to the studio, gel manicure results can last up to four weeks with proper care. The studio states that it is licensed by the New York State Cosmetology Board.

Each visit begins with a consultation on nail history, desired shape, lifestyle and inspiration, and cuticle work is done with sterilized e-file bits rather than soaking.
