Blooms By Nikki

Blooms By Nikki is a private studio run by its owner, Nicole, and built around Russian manicures done only on natural nails. Services center on cuticle care, structured overlays and corrective techniques, with each set adjusted to the client's own nails. The studio is open Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 6:15 PM and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and it is closed on Sundays.

Structured manicures use BIAB, hard gel or rubber base, and the material is chosen during the appointment based on the condition of the nails. Every structured manicure includes a cover color or solid gel polish, and all designs can be added on. A first-visit structured manicure is for new clients at $90 for about 2 hours, and a rebalance at the same price is for returning clients only.

The manicure and pedicure combo pairs a structured manicure with a dry pedicure for $165. It is listed at 2 hours 20 minutes, but the studio notes it may run 4 or more hours. The dry pedicure is also available on its own at $75 for about 2 hours and must be booked separately. It includes e-file cuticle cleaning, nail shaping, light sole smoothing and a choice of gel polish.

For removal, the soak-off with a Russian manicure and no product applied is $50 for about 1 hour 30 minutes and covers the studio's own work. Soak-offs of another technician's work are $20 for about 15 minutes and must be booked with a manicure. The studio does not work over another technician's sets and does not offer acrylic removal. Clients can pay by Zelle, card or cash, and cash must be the exact amount because no change is given.

The studio focuses on keeping natural nails healthy, strong and good-looking, using careful cuticle work and corrective techniques shaped to each client's nails.
