I currently offer:

1. Nail art (my speciality)
2. Structured gel manicures (using soft builder gel or hard gel)
3. Gel extensions by Apres
4. Deluxe Pedicure

I no longer offer regular gel manicures, dip powder nails, acrylic nails or fill ins NOR do I soak off work from other salons. 

I do not remove work that isn't my own. Please make sure to come to your appointment with bare nails before your visit with me or I'll have to cancel the appointment and charge 50% of services booked. This is due to past multiple instances of encoutering an illegal substance for acrylic called MMA being used in local salons that's cheap and near impossible to remove. 

Sure! Here's a breakdown:

1. Nail art: I have three packages of nail art. Everything I use is with gel paint as the base.  Please click here to read more about it
2.  Structured gel manicure: Perfect for those with thin, weak nails who are trying to grow their own nails out OR those with long natural nails. A structured gel manicure is a hypoallergenic, damage free way of protecting the nails. Most of my cilents have switched to this. I do a gel overlay- that is a thicker coat of gel on the natural nail that's filed into a structurally stronger shape. I exclusively use the brand Light Elegance- an American based and made company that is hypoallergenic, HEMA free and ethically made. 
3. Gel extensions by Apres nail: An alternative to acrylic nails- Apres gel extensions are if gel and press on nails had a baby. Extremely durable and nail health friendly, they are full cover nail tips that are made from gel that go over the entire nail and are adhered by soakable gel that's cured to the nail plate. Extremely durable- typically most clients go 3-4 weeks with no lifting before coming back for another new set that has to be removed either by me filing them down or soaking or both. Not recommended for those allergic to HEMA nail products.
4. Deluxe Pedicure: Great if you’ve never had a pedi or it’s been over 6 weeks since your last one. Essential oils, botanicals and salts filled warm foot bath soak, exfoliating ultra moisturizing oil based salt/sugar scrub, detailed cuticle work, sloughing cream if needed, Special collagen filled disposable socks with softening cream, file/shape nails, callous reducer, ultra moisturizing lotion, heel therapy cream if needed, deep massage, moisturizing masque, hot towels wrap, and polish. Service is finished with a high quality, dry to the touch after 5 minutes polish that is extremely durable! It’s the benefit of gel polish because it dries to a hard touch but it’s a regular polish so removes easily. OR you can add gel polish as an alternative for an upcharge. **PLEASE DO NOT SHAVE BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT**

No worries! I specialize in structured gel manicures- gel enhancements that has the strength and durability of acrylic, but the flexibility of gel. I have many clients that came to me with shredded nubs of nails (mostly from going to express service places that ruined their nails) and we've grown their natural nails out to where we have to cut them down every appointment.  However, if you want LENGTH longer than your natural nail- Apres gel extensions are the way to go. I do not recommend extensions if you don't have a free edge- or a tip length- of your natural nail. 

Several things: 

1. USE CUTICLE OIL DAILY. Trust me, I can tell when you don't. No judgment, but in the long run it's a win win all around if you do. Healthy nails for you, and less work for me to get your cuticles prepped for nail enhancement longevity.
2. WEAR GLOVES like your life depends on it. Cleaning products and water are absolutely horrible for nail enhancements.

If you want length that is NOT your natural nail, see question below.

If you want length that's longer than your natural nails, Apres gel extensions are perfect for that. An alternative to acrylic nails- Apres gel extensions are if gel and press ons had a baby. Extremely durable and nail health friendly, they are full cover nail tips that are made from gel that go over the entire nail and are adhered by soakable gel that's cured to the nail plate. Extremely durable- most clients go 3-4 weeks with no lifting before coming back for another new set that has to be removed either by me filing them down or soaking or both. 

If you want length that is your own natural nails, see question above.

Chances are, yes. I'm obsessed with the latest nail trends so if you're loving it- I've probably done it or want to do it. I invest in the latest products to keep up with the latest fads. HOWEVER- as an artist, I'd MUCH rather come up with more original art. If you text me pics with ideas/screenshots of what you like, I'd love to collaborate to come up with a more one of a kind design using elements from them. Feel free to text me 8645018738. If you're wanting a bit more elaborate art (such as characters or portraits,) I'd recommend we add length to your natural nail so there is more canvas to paint

I specialize in nail enhancements that carry longevity, so if you need something just for a few days, I don't think I'm the right fit for that need. Most of my clients come to me every 4-6 weeks  depending on lifestyle and nail care with little to no issues with their nails. I generally don't recommend going past 3 weeks before another appointment though

Currently, no. 

I found the soaking off process every appointment too harsh on the natural nail plate, even with careful removal. It's also not versatile to every nail type- putting a hard, rigid product over soft, bendable nails is like building a house over  jello. Ok, that's an extreme analogy but you get the idea. I now only do soft builder gel or hard gel on natural nails as a structured gel manicure/overlay

Short answer: not anymore. 

I only do acrylics on existing clients that already get it, although I've switched most all to soft builder gel which I've found to be way more durable.

I've found that acrylics tend to do better on a specific nail type yet soft builder gel is way more durable and versatile to almost ANY nail type. If you want nail length/shapes that are longer than your natural nails, check out the question about length above that explains Apres gel extensions.

YES. Big, resounding YES. It's what I adore and could do all day if I had the choice. I prefer to come up with original nail art, but I can copy Pinterest/Etc so text me several pics of what you like (colors, shape, art) BEFORE your appointment and I'll come up with something! 8645018738.  Make sure to select the correct tier of art when booking- scroll down to read more details.

Currently, no. 

Gel polish that you'd see in a typical chain salon (brands like OPI, Gelish, etc.) are considered hybrid gels. I only use pure or hard gels. They tend to be more pigmented and longer lasting with added strength. Regular gel polish manicures may last *up to* 3 weeks, while my structured gel manicures last anywhere from 4-6 weeks with little to no problems between visits with my clients. Eveb with that, I don't recommend going past 3 weeks between appointments, even though my work typically lasts longer than that

Yes. I only offer one pedicure service. They are not express service as I do the works (detailed cuticle work, collagen filled booties, hot towels, deep massage, etc.) so please allot at least 1 and 1/2 hours of time with me for a pedicure. 

Legally I am not allowed to work on nails with fungus that have not been treated by a doctor

Many clients have told me about salons that have cut out their ingrown toenails. THIS IS ILLEGAL and considered MINOR SURGERY which we as nail techs are NOT allowed to do. I can however, show you a tool to buy to help prevent/reduce an ingrown and explain how to use it but I cannot treat it myself. Only a licensed podiatrist or doctor can treat ingrown toenails. Please STOP letting people cut your ingrowns out!
