The Nail Lab is a studio run by owner Kalea, a nail technician with four years of experience. The business describes itself as an intimate studio, and Fresha describes it as a boutique space focused on personalized pampering. It is located in Suite 100, Loft 22, where parking is available and the space has natural light.
Services range from basic polish service to builder gel, Gel X extensions and detailed nail art. Builder gel is a thicker gel that adds strength and structure to natural nails, and it can be used to grow nails out or to make a manicure last longer; the business calls it its most popular service. Gel X is a gel-based extension that adds length, and the business presents it as a gentler option than acrylic. According to Fresha, a basic nail service takes 25 minutes at $10, while a Basic Pedicure costs $50 and takes an hour, and Builder Gel Short takes an hour and 15 minutes at $65.
Every service includes nail trimming, cuticle care, a sugar scrub and a warm towel. Bookings are made through the Book Now button on the website, which routes to Fresha, where instant confirmation and payment by app are listed. Clients are asked to read the policies before booking. The studio states a commitment to cleanliness and comfort.
