The Nail Alchemyst

The Nail Alchemyst is a nail salon in Cincinnati, Ohio, located on Spring Grove Avenue. Its listed services center on gel-based nail work, from structured overlays and extensions to custom sculpted shapes and removals.

Clients can book a Builder Gel Overlay, a structured manicure that includes a rebalance of the previous set, a dry manicure, a full set and one color. It is booked as a visit of two hours or more, and the price starts at $68. Length, multiple colors and designs are charged extra, and art is priced in separate tiers.

Gel-X Extensions use a full-coverage soft gel tip rather than plastic. The service includes a soak-off, dry manicure, full set and one color, and is booked as a two-hour-plus visit starting at $78. As with the overlay, extra length, colors and designs are added to the base price.

For sculpted looks, Claws are custom nail shapes such as cat claws, raptor claws and talons. This is a three-hour-and-thirty-minute service priced at $150. Clients who are moving away from gel or another salon's products can book a removal, a one-hour-and-thirty-minute visit priced by the service.

Bookings and payment are handled online through Square checkout. The salon is open Monday, Tuesday and Friday from noon to 9 pm, Saturday and Sunday from noon to 6 pm, and is closed Wednesday and Thursday. Questions can go to the phone line at (859) 652-4679 or the contact email.
