About

Main Character Nails is a nail business in Harriman, Tennessee, run from a suite on Ruritan Road. The salon describes itself as a space built for bold, fun-loving clients. It is open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 9 AM to 8 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 7 PM, and closed on Tuesday and Sunday.

The menu is organized around nail art levels. Four tiers run from simple color with a few rhinestones up to fully custom sets with stones or charms, photorealism and sculpture, and the salon will help clients pick the right tier or structure if they are unsure. Enhancement services include acrylic, hard gel and soft gel full sets, fills, a Freestyle Franny full set priced flat at $75 for any length or shape, and foreign fills over another technician's work when the salon judges them safe. Fill-ins on the salon's own sets are offered to clients whose previous set was done by the owner, Lauren Rue.

Manicures and pedicures range from a quick cleanup to longer treatments with soaks, scrubs, masks and massage. The Luxurious Larry pedicure uses a volcano pedicure system with hot towels. Kids' services are available for young clients, and children must be supervised throughout a Kid's Manicure. One customer review on the site calls the manicures and pedicures the best around, which is the reviewer's own opinion.

Booking terms are set out clearly. Some services require a deposit, including Tier 4, Kid's Manicure and Luxurious Larry for new clients. Cancellations made at least 24 hours ahead are free, while later cancellations incur a 25% fee of the service total, which may be waived for clients who are sick. Buy Now, Pay Later is available in person for bookings between $50 and $4,000, with approval needed before the appointment.

The salon is built around bold, playful nail art, with tiers that let clients match the level of detail to their taste. Staff will help clients choose the right tier or structure when they are unsure.
