UME Beauty Nails Spa was founded in Albany and focuses on two core areas: waterless dry Russian manicures and soft gel extensions. Alongside those, the menu covers luxury pedicures, acrylic work, dip powder, nail art, waxing and services for children.
The studio skips the water soak, which it says swells the nail plate and leads to early chipping. Cuticles are exfoliated with electronic files for precise results. The studio says its manicures regularly last up to four weeks.
Products are chosen for low chemical content and non-toxic formulas, including structured bases, builder gels and color topcoats. Metal tools are chemically washed, then steam-sterilized in a medical-grade autoclave and sealed in indicator bags that are opened in front of the client.
Booking is flexible. Online, clients can pick a technician or be matched by a nail inspiration they choose. A few spaces each day are kept for last-minute visits, and group bookings are arranged by asking the studio to call back. The UME Rewards program gives one stamp for each $45 or more spent on services, and after 10 stamps a $30 discount on the next service, subject to eligibility. The website also has a lookbook of custom nail art that can be filtered by style, artist or service.
The studio works only in waterless dry Russian manicures and soft gel extensions, skipping water soaking and using electronic files for cuticle work.
The studio describes itself as a quiet spot on Solano Avenue.
