About

The salon opened in 2018 as a four-chair studio on Guadalupe Street. It has stayed small on purpose and intends to keep that scale, with appointments kept unhurried.

In 2020 the space was rebuilt around private pedicure lounges and quieter acoustics. A dedicated waxing room was added in 2024, where waxing takes place in a private, closed treatment room.

A visit includes complimentary tea, espresso and sparkling water, and beverages such as sodas, red wine and white wine are also offered. Walk-ins are welcome, and booking by phone holds a seat, which matters most during UT finals and graduation season. Appointments can also be booked online, and couples can reserve side-by-side pedicure seats together.

Nail art is a specialty: hand-painted custom designs, chrome finishes, sculpted extensions and bridal sets, plus graduation and UT-themed nails such as burnt orange French tips, charms and hand-painted Longhorns. Clients can bring photos of designs they like, and the team will recreate them or adapt them to the client's nail shape.

The pedicure menu runs from a spa pedicure through an aroma pedicure with scent options, a relax pedicure, an organic pedicure and a volcanic special oil pedicure. The luxe pedicure includes a warm herbal soak, sea-salt exfoliation, callus refinement and an extended foot and calf massage.

Each set is treated as a small commission, with slow, steady line work, and the aim is a calm, restorative manicure rather than a rushed transaction.

A calm, quiet studio with private pedicure lounges.
