About

Ink&Arts By April was created by its owner, April Walsh, who also works as the studio's artist and handles the nail and permanent makeup work herself.

The studio describes itself as more than a beauty studio, a space centered on artistry, self-care and confidence. It describes its services as luxury nail artistry and permanent makeup, and says its work is built around beauty and long-term nail and skin health.

Visits are meant to feel welcoming, relaxing and empowering. Clients are invited to bring in their own ideas, and each service is adjusted to the person in the chair. The menu covers gel and structured gel manicures, Gel-X extensions, hand-painted and detailed designs including French tips and French ombre, a soak-off service for acrylic, dip or gel done elsewhere, and a shorter dot-accent add-on.

Cancellations need at least 24 hours' notice to avoid a $25 fee, and a $50 fee applies to a no-show where the client neither attends nor gets in touch. Each client gets one emergency cancellation exception. Buy Now, Pay Later financing is available for bookings from $50 to $4,000, subject to approval before the appointment. Gift cards come in $50, $75, $100 or $200 amounts or a custom value, and gift card sales are final.

According to the studio, it uses high-quality products and techniques that aim for beauty and long-term nail and skin health. Each service is tailored to the client.

The studio is described as welcoming, relaxing and empowering.
