The business keeps the condition of clients' natural nails at the center of its work. It does not perform services on nails with fungus, infection, open wounds, broken skin, excessive inflammation or contagious skin conditions, and it may decline or reschedule in those cases. The business says many salons use harmful products such as MMA acrylic, and it states that it is rated five stars on Google.
Appointments are booked through Instagram postings for openings and cancellations, or by direct message for other times. A $20 non-refundable deposit within 5 hours of booking is applied to the total, and deposits can be paid by card, Zelle or Venmo, with a $2 fee for Venmo. Clients arrive with clean, bare nails, and a soak-off can be added. Some appointments take three hours or more, and guests must be arranged in advance.
House-call services are offered. Appointments outside business hours or on weekends carry a fee of $20 or more. Estimates for a specific set are available on request by message.
