The Studio
A calm room, one guest at a time
We are not a walk-in production line. Appointments are spaced so there is time to shape properly, care for the cuticles, build real structure into the nail, and paint the design you actually asked for.
Whether you bring a saved inspiration photo or just a color you love, we talk through shape, length and finish before anything is applied — so the set fits your hands, your work and your everyday life.

Custom Design
Bring the photo. We’ll build the set.
Simple or detailed, seasonal or one-of-a-kind — custom design is priced by what the design actually takes: the linework, the layering, the charms, and the time on the clock.
Send your inspiration photo before your appointment on Instagram, TikTok, WeChat or by text and we will recommend the right service and give you a price estimate up front, so nothing at the table is a surprise.
We will always do our best to recreate a design you love, though an exact 100% match cannot be guaranteed.
Why Guests Come Back
Structure first, art second
01
Real Nail Structure
Soft builder gel is worked into every gel color set as standard — an apex that holds shape instead of a coat of color that chips by week two.
02
Careful Prep
Shaping and cuticle care come before any product touches the nail. Clean sidewalls and a tidy cuticle line are what make a set look expensive.
03
Honest Pricing
Design work is quoted before we begin. Length, complexity, charms and appointment time all affect the final price and we tell you which ones apply.
04
Gentle Removal
Removal is done properly, not drilled off. It is complimentary whenever you are getting a new set with us at the same visit.
