Nails From Ashlyn, LLC

Nails From Ashlyn operates from inside Lash and Beauty Bar on West Walton Boulevard in Waterford Township. Ashlyn Mason owns the business and does the manicures herself. The business describes its service as personalized, with attention given to each client.

The menu is built around nail enhancements and gel work. Gel Soak-Off removes gel polish after the remaining polish is filed and the nails are soaked in acetone, and takes about 30 minutes. Acrylic Soak-off works the same way for acrylic, filing the acrylic layer down first, and takes about 45 minutes. A Gel Manicure is a dry manicure with no length added, followed by gel polish; it is also known as Shellac and takes about 2 hours 30 minutes. Gel Manicure + Builder Gel uses builder gel to add strength and support to the natural nail, and can add short to medium length when paired with tips, taking about 3 hours 30 minutes or more.

For longer-wear enhancements, Acrylic Fill files down existing acrylic and applies fresh acrylic where the enhancement has grown out, taking about 3 hours 30 minutes. Tips + Acrylic adds length with nail tips and an acrylic overlay for strength, at about 3 hours 30 minutes or more, with the final price depending on the length chosen. Nail art is priced and added at the time of service for enhancement and manicure appointments, and an Acrylic Soak-off may carry an extra fee if the nails were done at another salon.

Booking rules are stated clearly. Appointments need to be canceled or rescheduled at least 24 hours ahead. Cancellations or no-call no-shows inside 24 hours carry a $30 fee. An Acrylic Fill is charged as a full Tips + Acrylic application if five or more nails are missing at the appointment. Online booking is available through the business website, and the phone number is (248) 421-5207.

The business describes its service as personalized, and nail art is planned around each client's own ideas at the time of booking and service.
