About

The salon was founded by Laura Malarkey, who noticed that Cincinnati had few nail salons focused on nail health and on how long a manicure lasts. The Cure is built around that gap, aiming for polished nails without sacrificing the health of the natural nail.

Visits are by appointment, booked online. Listed hours are Tuesday to Thursday from 10am to 5pm and Friday to Saturday from 10am to 7pm. The space is described as calm, peaceful and light-filled, and fume-free.

Gel and structured gel manicures are the core of the menu, alongside dry manicures, custom nail art, gel removal, and repair and strengthening treatments for nails that need support. The salon describes its nail artistry as non-toxic and uses premium professional products. A client review on the offerings page says manicures stayed in good condition for weeks, often until a visit four to five weeks later; that is the client's own account.

Permanent jewelry is a separate offering. Custom-fit chains and charms are welded in place with no clasp, and pieces are made for friendships, couples, mother and daughter, milestones and everyday wear.

The salon also retails professional skincare and hand care, including Marian Skincare, Korean beauty products, cuticle oil and hand lotion, with seasonal finds and a selection called Laura's Favorites.

Apothecary-inspired and centered on nail health, the salon aims for polished results that leave the nails in good condition.

Calm, light-filled and fume-free, with a peaceful feel.
