What are we doing?

Service
Shape

Coffin and stiletto need length, so they're booked as extensions.

Nail techs

Three techs, three specialties.

Every tech does a gel manicure. Beyond that, book the one whose hands your set needs.

  • A nail tech in blue gloves finishing a client's manicure under the lamp

    Thao Nguyen

    Natural nails and structured gel · Tue–Sat

    Eleven years in, and the reason half the studio stopped wearing extensions. Thao builds BIAB so the nail grows out strong, and she will tell you honestly when a fill has become a rebuild.

    Books: Gel manicure, Structured gel, Pedicure

  • A manicurist painting a long pink stiletto extension with a fine brush

    Marisol Garza

    Extensions and shape · Wed–Sun

    Gel-X and sculpted acrylic, with the long almond and coffin sets people stop her in H-E-B to ask about. Marisol files every shape by eye and checks it from the side before the colour goes on.

    Books: Gel manicure, Structured gel, Extensions, Pedicure

  • A nail artist in black gloves drawing a design with a fine brush

    Dani Okoro

    Hand-painted art and chrome · Tue, Thu–Sun

    Trained as an illustrator before nails. Dani paints freehand with a liner brush, from one accent nail to a full ten, and keeps a sketchbook of sets for anyone who can't decide.

Before you come

Arrive with bare nails, or add removal.

Most late starts are an old set nobody booked time to take off. Tell us what's on your nails now and we'll put the right removal in your booking.

What's on your nails now?

Nothing to add. Skip hand cream and cuticle oil that morning: gel grips a clean, dry nail.

  • No oil that morning. Hand cream and cuticle oil stop gel gripping; we'll oil you at the end.
  • Bring a photo. Screenshots are the fastest way to agree a colour and a length.
  • Fresh files, every client. Metal tools come out of the autoclave pouch in front of you; files and buffers are single-use.
  • Lifting within five days? Come back and we fix it free.
