The Dollhouse NWI

The Dollhouse NWI houses a group of independent nail artists rather than a single shared team. Each artist runs her own business within the salon, keeps her own products in her suite, and takes bookings through her own link.

The salon describes itself as the coolest nail salon in town and as the vibiest salon in Crown Point. Its artists range from nail art specialists to a licensed nail technician focused on soft gel and polygel work, and the salon's owner also works as a nail artist and educator.

Retail is part of the space: the salon sells jewelry from local vendors and its own retail items. Policies are set in two layers. The salon does not allow unsupervised children, while whether children may be in an individual artist's suite and what the late policy is are decided by each artist.

Each nail artist works independently, with their own products, booking and policies.
