Questions?

Everything You'd
Want to Know

Simply mention when you book or when you arrive that you're active military, a veteran, or a first-time client. We'll apply your 10% discount — no paperwork, no hassle required.
We warmly welcome walk-ins! However, booking an appointment in advance guarantees your preferred time slot and lets us dedicate a technician specifically to your service.
Gel is cured under UV light for a glossy, flexible finish. Acrylics are sculpted for added length and strength. Dip powder uses a bonding process for a durable, lightweight result. Our technicians will help you choose the best option for your nails and lifestyle.
For acrylic and gel nails, most clients come in every 2–3 weeks for a fill to keep their set looking fresh and intact. We'll advise you on the ideal schedule based on your nail growth and daily routine.
Service times vary. A classic manicure takes roughly 30–45 minutes, while a full acrylic set with nail art may take 1.5–2 hours. We'll always give you an accurate time estimate when you schedule.
We use professional-grade products chosen specifically for their color payoff, durability, and safety. Our team stays current on the industry's best so your nails always receive top-tier treatment.
