Namaste Nails

Namaste Nails operates as Namaste Nails, LLC from Suite 125 of Phenix Salon Suites on Sancus Blvd in Columbus. The studio is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 am to 6 pm and Saturday from 9 am to 6 pm, and is closed Sunday and Monday.

Services are built around gel. Options include a Builder Gel Overlay or structured manicure, Gel-X full sets, and hard and builder gel extensions. Appointments run from about 1 hour 30 minutes for an overlay to 2 hours or more for extensions. Gel-X removal for returning clients starts at $80 and takes about 2 hours 30 minutes or more. Nail art can be added to any service, with a freestyle design option at $10.

Fills depend on how quickly each client's nails grow, so timing and pricing reflect average growth and wear. The studio does not fill over work done by another technician or over Gel-X or manicure services. Hard and builder gel clients may be limited to three to five fills before the old product must come off.

Clients who want a quiet visit can ask for one, and during silent appointments the technician wears headphones. Well-behaved children and service animals are welcome, but guests need to be reported in advance. The studio is on one level, with a ramp from the sidewalk and accessible bathrooms down the hall. The front doors lock automatically, so anyone who arrives to a locked door can message the technician to be let in. Accepted payments are cash, card, Zelle and Venmo. Card payments carry a fee of up to 3.5% on each service, and sales tax is added to all services. The studio invites clients to follow @namaste.nail.s on Instagram.

Work is planned around each client's natural nails and their growth, with fills and removals handled according to clear rules on what the studio will and will not work over.
