About

Founded in 2017 by Tuyen Day in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood, the studio moved to River Grove in 2023 and now operates from Thatcher Avenue. The studio calls itself a modern beauty studio and focuses on nail artistry, including gel and chrome finishes, custom designs and free-hand detailing.

Nail services range from polish changes and men's manicures to BIAB overlays, acrylic and hard gel work, and Gel X extensions. Pedicures include a Footlogix option with a soak, callus treatment, seaweed scrub and massage, and a jelly no-chip pedicure with a plant-extract foot soak that includes aloe vera. Waxing is limited to brows and upper lip.

Permanent jewelry is custom-fit, clasp-free and welded closed for daily wear. Chains are 14k gold-filled or sterling silver, and luxe chains cost extra. A piece can be removed by cutting the welded spot with scissors, and the original chain can be welded back on for a $15 fee after an in-person evaluation. Sales are final once a chain is cut. Private jewelry parties are available for at least 10 guests at a home or chosen venue; a travel fee may apply, and hosts receive 20% off their jewelry.

The one-day master class runs five hours and costs $1,500, offered in small group or one-on-one formats. It covers nail prep, acrylic foundation, shaping, e-filing, nail theory and business etiquette, and includes a starter kit with a professional e-file and a certificate of completion. A separate nail art class for artists, priced at $250 or more, covers design placement, line work and pigments.

Booking is handled online through Square, and a debit or credit card is required on file to hold a reservation, with a $5 card fee. Cancellations need 24 hours' notice to avoid fees; later cancellations are charged 50% of the total. There is a 15-minute grace period, and later arrivals are walk-ins who may or may not be serviced, with a $20 late fee if they are. No-shows and no-calls are charged 50% of the total to the card on file, and unpaid fees prevent future rebooking. Gift card balances can be checked on the website.
