Nova Nail Studio is in Alameda and is open every day from 9 AM to 7 PM. The studio says its aim is for clients to feel good about their hands, and its work centers on nurturing natural nails toward a healthy state.
The menu is grouped into manicures, pedicures, lightweight gel extensions, add-ons, hand-painted nail art, and removals. Gel manicures include filing and cutting, cuticle care, one color, and a glossy finish that the studio says lasts for weeks without chipping, finished with lotion and cuticle oil. Clients looking to grow out their nails can book a Structure Gel Manicure, which uses Luminary, Kokoist and American Creator gels to build structure and support; the studio describes these gels as cruelty free and vegan.
Gel-X extensions use the Après Gel-X System, with a full cover gel tip attached using Après Extend Gel, and come in square, stiletto, coffin, almond and round shapes. Nail art is hand-painted, and clients with a specific design in mind are asked to contact the studio first.
The studio asks clients who cannot keep an appointment to let it know as soon as possible so they can reschedule.
Built around the idea that clients should leave feeling good about their hands, with natural nail health kept at the center of the work.
