Nail services cover acrylic sets, overlays, refills and replacements, dip powder and organic hybrid sets, gel manicures and gel polish, French and V-shape or curved tips, and a range of nail designs. Acrylic and dip powder prices change with nail length, which the salon measures in centimeters, and coffin or pointy shapes are available as an add-on. Pedicures range from a regular pedicure to four spa tiers, and every spa pedicure includes a hot rock and hot towel. Waxing covers eyebrows, chin, sideburns, underarms and legs.
The salon describes its services as high quality yet affordable and says its team are schooled and licensed professionals. Appointments may take up to 15 minutes to start, and services can be changed on arrival. Payment is due before a service is completed, all sales are final, and clients are asked to check their nails before leaving. Defects must be reported within 24 hours of service for repair. Children must be supervised by an adult, and clients are expected to be respectful to staff and other customers.
