DNAILS

DNAILS is a nail care business located in Suite 121 at Phenix Salon Suites on Sharon Road in Charlotte. Services are booked by appointment only, with weekday hours from 8am to 5pm, Saturday hours from 8am to 12pm, and the salon closed on Sundays. The business can be reached by phone at 980-844-0445 and is on Instagram as @dnails.clt.

The menu is built around hands and feet with a focus on cuticle care, nail coverage and waterless techniques. The Russian gel manicure and builder gel application use an e-file for cuticle cleaning, and the business also offers a manicure with no polish that includes e-file shaping and cuticle cleaning. Hard gel extensions are sculpted to add length and shape to natural nails, and existing extensions can be filled in, including gaps near the cuticle.

The pedicure menu centers on the SMART Pedicure with gel polish, a patented dry, waterless service that uses a SMART Disk to exfoliate heels and feet without soaking. A pedicure with no polish is also available using the same waterless approach and e-file care. Nail art and design are offered as an add-on, including minimalist designs, patterns and 3D decorations.

Several services carry booking conditions. Russian gel manicures and SMART pedicures are not performed for clients with nail fungus, open wounds, active skin infections, warts or contagious nail or skin conditions, and the Russian gel manicure is described as an aesthetic service rather than a medical treatment. Removal of extensions done by DNAILS is free for clients who return on a consistent schedule, while removal of work applied by another salon is booked as an add-on.

The business focuses on cuticle care and dry, waterless methods, using the e-file and professional products in place of soaking.
