Signature services

Every appointment starts with a few minutes on shape and shade, so you leave with nails that suit your hands and your week.

A cleaner, quieter appointment

The small things are the whole point. Here is what you can count on at every visit.

  • Sterilized, not just wiped down

    Metal tools go through a medical-grade autoclave after every client and arrive in a sealed pouch we open in front of you. Files and buffers are single-use.

  • Polishes we’d wear ourselves

    Our gels and lacquers are 10-free and vegan, and every table has its own extraction fan, so the studio smells fresh rather than of acrylic.

  • Artists with time for you

    Each artist has at least six years behind the table and sees one client at a time. Appointments are booked with room to breathe, not back to back.

In our clients’ words

  • “My gel lasted three full weeks without a single chip. Mina freehanded the tiny florals I showed her from a screenshot.”
