About

The salon is in suite 128 at 595 King Street in downtown Charleston. Walk-ins are welcome, and appointments can also be booked. It is open Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 8 PM, Saturdays from 9 AM to 7 PM, and closed on Sundays.

Manicures and pedicures make up the core of the menu. A regular manicure starts at $39 and a gel manicure is $49. The Best Lovable Manicure, at $70, adds a seven-minute hand massage, hot towels, and a choice of collagen gloves or paraffin. Pedicures run from the $45 Super Express, which includes a basic pedicure, a three-minute lotion massage, a hot towel and a disposable kit, up to $99 for The Best Lovable Pedicure, which uses a champagne golden soak, a hot stone, paraffin and a golden masque. Several mid-range pedicures pair a themed soak with a scrub, mask, massage or hot stone. Gel polish on a pedicure carries a $25 add-on fee.

Gel X full sets are $95 and acrylic full sets are $79, with fill-ins generally between $69 and $79.

Kids' services include manicures, pedicures and polish options for younger guests, including gel and jelly choices. Kid manicures start at $30 and kid pedicures at $34.

Group nail appointments are offered for bachelorette and bridal parties, birthdays, girls' trips, wedding groups and other special occasions. Group size, deposits and cancellation terms are arranged by phone or text so the salon can schedule enough technicians and stations. Each guest in a group may choose a different service.

According to the salon, its Google rating sits at 4.9 out of five, based on feedback from over 2,250 clients. The business also says BusinessRate named it a Best of BusinessRate winner in 2024 and 2025, and that Nextdoor members have chosen it as a Neighborhood Fave. Pricing depends on nail length, the design chosen and the service, and it can change, so guests are asked to phone for current rates.

The salon says it uses salon-grade products and follows sanitation protocols, with a disposable kit used for every pedicure.
