Question 9

What do you mean when you say "basic polish"?

Accepted Answer

"Basic polish", is just our regular nail polish. It isn't gel, or extensions. We have a couple of options to choose from.

IBD - Our basic polish is by a brand we support called "IBD". It's our favorite regular polish to use. 
It also dries in 7 minutes (guaranteed) & gets harder the longer its exposed to light. How cool is that?! We use their regular nail polishes & their gel polishes in our salon.

Zoya - Our other supported brand polish we use & sell is "Zoya" nail polish.  Its 5 free of chemicals, vegan, kid friendly & we have a wide variety of colors to choose from !

Question 10

What is gel polish?

Accepted Answer

Gel polish is a thick-ish  gel polish that, when placed under UV light, hardens. This process is called curing, and in a matter of seconds, the once-liquid gel turns into a hard, chemical-resistant coating !😎

We offer a few gel polishes with our services to choose from

Shellac - Our favorite 😍
IBD - Awesome choice!
Varnail - Coming soon!

Question 11

What are gel-x extension?

Accepted Answer

Similar to acrylics, but without any of the toxic methyl methacrylate or cancer causing ingredients. Gel extensions are a solid alternative. You can pick from a variety of  nail shapes & we'll  will use a small amount of gel to secure the extension to your own nail. We then top with the polish of your choice. 😉

Question 12

Do you accept walk ins?

Accepted Answer

We do not, we require scheduling an appointment. This is to ensure we can better service you & control waiting times. 🤗😊

Question 13

Why doesn't my manicure last?

Accepted Answer

We recommend you to not use your nails as tools. It can not only damage nail designs but also cause false nails to lift or pop off prematurely. 😥
We will always list or state the manufacturers expected/suggested nail manicure duration, during services.
With that being said during manicures, we will ask that you refrain from digging in your pockets, purses, handbags etc. Uncured gel polish has a sticky layers that will pick up debris such as, fibers,  lint and other materials. Regular polish works almost the same, as it will need time to dry between each layer. An non cured, non dry manicure is vulnerable to such materials that may cause your manicure to not set correctly, causing issues later. Taking these cautious steps will ensure that your manicure goes on smoothly and your nail manicure stays on for the entire manufacturers suggested duration.

Accepted Answer

Our salon wait times vary from client to client depending on their service needs. We currently only have 1 nail tech in our salon, so appointments are required for that reason.😊

Question 15

Do you have a "No call, no show" policy ?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we have a no call no show policy at our salon. Failure to call ahead to cancel your appointment will put you on our flag list. If for any reason you wish to schedule another appointment, you'll be asked to secure your slot with a non refundable deposit of $25. The deposit will go towards your service, unless you fail to show up again. Failure to show up for your scheduled appointment twice, will result in being blacklisted from our salon. 😶
