Ladybaby Nails

Ladybaby Nails is a small nail studio in Seattle led by owner and nail artist Alyssa Aufsesser. Services are gel manicures, structured manicures built up with builder gel or a hard gel overlay, fills, soak off removal, and a model booking option for longer sets. Each appointment is set up for a single client, and no guests are allowed in the room.

The salon's approach centers on natural nails. Rather than adding length with tips, structured work is used to strengthen the nails you already have, and fills are kept on a schedule so the build stays maintained. Products are chosen with each client based on their nails and how they live, and the salon points to a focus on durability and longer wear.

Nail art isn't part of gel or structured manicures; it costs extra if added. For models booking through Yeehaw, the set is a Russian manicure built on either a complete Gel X application or double-form extensions. Models should come in with nothing on their nails.

Booking is by appointment only, and walk-ins are not accepted. Cancellations need 24 hours notice, and a late cancellation is charged 50 percent of the booked service; one grace exception is allowed for a missed notice. Payment is by credit card, as cash is not accepted. The owner's phone line is text only. Current hours are Sunday 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday through Wednesday 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM, Friday 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, with Thursday and Saturday closed.

Works on natural nails with builder gel and avoids adding length with tips, aiming for strong, healthy nails. Products are selected together with each client based on their nails and lifestyle.

The salon describes its space as a safe, welcoming place for everyone.
