The salon lists more than 15 years of nail industry experience and over 10 years in business.
The enhancement menu covers acrylic overlays on natural nails, full sets with tips and colored acrylic powder under gel polish, and color powder fills or complete color changes. Ombre options run from pink and white to tri-color designs with three or more shades, and there are also sculpture nails built on nail forms and deep French sets in all acrylic. Fills are priced to rebalance existing acrylic. Nails the salon did not apply can be booked as a foreign fill, which may need a soak-off first, and clients are asked to upload a photo beforehand.
Freestyle sets are priced by budget. Options range from a basic new set with one or two designs, through a glam and glitz set with designs, to a special set where the client hands over full creative control. Nae's Signature Set is for clients with a budget of $200 or more and takes about two and a half hours.
Manicures and pedicures include a signature manicure with trimming, shaping, cuticle work, buffing, massage, a hot towel wrap and gel polish in a chosen color. The signature waterless pedicure adds a sugar scrub and callus removal. Toe options range from gel polish and fills to acrylic on the big toes or on all ten toes, which the salon says is applied free-form and can last up to three months with proper care. Repairs, cut downs, shape changes and soak-offs are also offered.
Beyond client appointments, the business teaches. Online classes cover full sets, shaping, sculpting, toe sculpting, apex building, the essentials and business marketing. The Slay Like Nae Mentorship Program is a course with in-person and online components, and the salon also lists a three-day master class in Charlotte and one-on-one classes. The shop sells Nutty acrylic powder, Opulent Rose Oil, Nails by Nae Kolinsky acrylic brushes, the Mastering the Art eBook and made-to-order press-on nails. Appointments can be booked online.
Education sits alongside the client work, and the salon describes the goal of its mentorship as high-quality education and training.
