About

The business has three locations: one on Langston Boulevard in Arlington with free parking behind the salon, one in the Ballston area of Arlington about a three-minute walk from Ballston Metro, and one on King Street in Old Town Alexandria, near the King Street-Old Town Metro station and local shops and cafes.

This nail salon focuses on dry services that skip soaking. Technicians use heated towels, dry electric-file cuticle care and dry exfoliation in place of hand or foot soaks. A dry e-file cuticle treatment, also known as a Russian manicure, comes with every manicure. According to the salon, its goal is tidy, exact work that puts nail health first. The salon also states that conventional salons may use as much as 270 gallons of water per station each day, which its method is designed to avoid.

Gel and builder options make up much of the menu. Gel polish is Valentino Beauty Pure, and the BIAB builder gel comes from The Gel Bottle Inc. BIAB is usually soaked off only when switching styles or colors, or when there is lifting, damage or old product buildup. Refills are recommended about every 3.5 weeks, and the salon says BIAB can last four or more weeks with proper care. Dazzle Dry is offered as a polish alternative that dries in under five minutes without UV lamps and removes without soaking. The salon describes it as vegan, cruelty-free and non-toxic, and says it was developed by a bio-organic chemist.

The site also mentions lash lifts, brow lamination, facials and waxing.

For a visit, arrive with bare nails unless you are booking a removal, and book existing gel, dip or acrylic for removal. Booking is by appointment, with walk-ins at the Old Town location subject to availability and clients asked to call ahead. Cancellations or reschedules need at least 24 hours notice to avoid a fee, and tips are not included in service prices. Complimentary fixes are offered within 10 days for gel manicures and within 14 days for BIAB, and fix appointments are best booked with the original technician.

Waterless nail care focused on clean, precise work and nail health, using warm towels, dry e-file cuticle care and dry exfoliation in place of soaking.
