How do I pick a tier?

The difference between the three is how much art ends up on the nail.

Clean is one color or simple art over gel-x extensions or a builder-gel overlay on your natural nails. You will also see gel x written without the hyphen. Clean starts at $85.

Artsy adds accent art to a full set: script, small florals, simple chrome. It is the tier most people book, $115–130.

Showpiece is custom art on every nail, from a freestyle at $135 to sculpted 3D and characters at $165 and up.

What does an appointment cost, start to finish?

The price you see is the price of the set. Your deposit comes off it, so the remainder is what you pay at the appointment: Zelle, Cash, and Apple Pay all work. A soak-off adds $20 if you are wearing a set that needs to come off, and a squeeze-in outside 10am to 7pm adds $40.

Most sessions run 2.5 to 3.5 hours; Complex Freestyle can take longer.

extras

Wearing a set already? A soak-off is $20 and adds about an hour, the same whether it is my work or another salon’s. A squeeze-in before 10am or after 7pm costs $40 and is collected when you book. Choose either option on the book page.

good to know

Most sessions run 2.5–3.5 hours; Complex Freestyle can take longer. If you want a silent appointment, say so when you book: I’ll put on a podcast or quiet music and let you rest.
