About

Kirei House is a KannaCo brand, founded in 2023 by Kanna Fujita, who is listed as founder and CEO. The salon was set up to bring Japanese nail care to New York, and its work centres on the PERFECT FILLIN method, which refines and rebuilds existing gel rather than removing it by soaking.

According to the salon, repeated soak-off removal can thin the natural nail, and its method is meant to prevent that. Its Japanese gel is described as thinner and more flexible than most Western gels, applied in multiple fine layers. The salon says every technician is certified in the PERFECT FILLIN method before working on a client. It holds Kokoist Certified status and is listed as a Dazzle Dry authorized salon.

Visits are by appointment only, open daily from 10am to 8pm. Bookings, availability and waitlists are handled online, and a credit card is needed to reserve. Visitors check in at the building front desk and are sent up to the salon. Chips or minor wear within one week are touched up at no charge, and repairs after that week are priced per nail.

The menu runs from care-only manicures and pedicures with no colour, through gel and Dazzle Dry services, to nail art priced by complexity. Gel removal is available for gel applied at Kirei House or at another salon, and it takes extra time and an added fee when it comes from another salon, so it must be selected when booking.

Kirei House Academy runs hands-on Japanese gel training in Manhattan, with the address emailed after booking. The PERFECT FILLIN Certification is a two-day masterclass for licensed nail technicians. A shorter Japanese Gel Self-Care Workshop is open to people who want to do gel at home. The academy also sells the Kirei at Home guide, in a standard edition and one with private online Q&A. The salon states it was named Best Japanese Gel Manicure in Modern Luxury Manhattan's Best of Beauty 2026, has been featured in Glamour, and shows a 4.9 Google rating from 52 reviews.

Kirei House works from a repair-first method: old gel is refined and rebuilt rather than soaked off, and each technician is certified in that method before taking clients.
