About

The business describes itself as a luxury nail and beauty lounge in Washington, DC, and says local DC media have recognized it, including a feature in Mid City DC News.

Nail services cover classic and gel manicures and pedicures, dip powder, BIAB builder gel, Gel-X extensions, and a range of custom and airbrushed nail art. Removal of gel, BIAB, dip, Gel-X, and acrylic work is offered as an add-on, and work from other salons can be removed when booked in advance.

The menu extends to Korean head spa rituals, including a Radiance treatment that pairs a Korean-inspired facial ritual with the signature head spa, and a Facial Sculpting Redefined treatment. Lash services include classic, hybrid, and volume extensions, lash lifts with tint, and a Korean keratin lift, while brow lamination and wax-and-tint options sit alongside them.

Waxing and threading are also on the menu, from small facial areas to full arms, legs, and back. Threading is performed only by Ashima and is booked with her directly.

Guests can book online or by phone, and walk-ins are welcome as availability allows. Lounge-style service includes a complimentary drink, with non-alcoholic choices such as green tea, Vietnamese coffee, and flavored water, and alcohol for guests 21 and over with ID, limited to two per guest. Private events and group bookings are offered for birthdays, bridal parties, and corporate wellness.

The business says it keeps sanitation practices strict and uses professional-grade products, with tools cleaned and disinfected to DC standards and single-use items discarded after each guest.

A lounge setting where guests can relax with a complimentary drink during their appointment.
