About

Shape Nails is open Monday, Wednesday through Saturday from 9:30 AM to 7:30 PM and Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM, and is closed on Tuesdays. The salon says its aim is to bring out clients' natural beauty through nail design and quality service. Appointments can be booked through the salon website or its Fresha listing, and walk-ins are welcome based on availability.

Manicures start with a regular service from $25, which includes nail shaping, cuticle care, a hand soak, a massage and regular polish. A Dazzle Dry manicure starts at $33 and covers shaping, cuticle care and a massage. Gel manicures start at $40 and are cured under UV or LED light; the salon says they stay fresh for up to 2 to 3 weeks. Polish refreshes start at $15, and gel polish refreshes at $35.

Pedicures range from an express service starting at $32 to a basic service from $40, a deluxe service from $60 and a premium service from $70. The premium pedicure uses candle massage oil and a longer massage than the deluxe. Shape Nails does not use metal foot files on heels for safety reasons, and ingrown nails are not treated as part of pedicure services.

For longer-lasting color and structure, the salon offers BIAB, dip powder, Gel-X in four lengths and four shapes, and acrylic full sets and refills, with acrylic available in gel polish or colored powder. Nail art is booked alongside a base service and is listed online as a placeholder at $50 for one hour, with the final price and time depending on design complexity. Prices can vary by nail length, shape and design, and extra charges may apply to remove gel or acrylic applied elsewhere.

Deposits: the salon may request $50 or 50% of the total for services costing over $100, for long appointments, and for group bookings. Parties of three or more are asked to reserve in advance and give 48 hours' notice for any changes. Other cancellations or changes require at least 24 hours' notice. If a guest checks in more than 10 minutes after their appointment time, the salon may move them to another time or shorten the visit. Payment is collected once the service is finished and accepts cash, credit or debit cards, Apple Pay, Zelle and Cash App. Lifting or chipping must be reported within 7 days, and repairs at no charge apply only when the problem stems from workmanship. Finished services are non-refundable.
