We are a dog-friendly salon! If you are allergic to dogs, please let us know when you schedule your appointment so we can make accommodations for you.

FIRST TIME CLIENTS

If you are a first time client, I would prefer that you remove your current acrylic. Please understand, I need to access the current state of your nails, for your safety and mine. Please respect my wishes and have your nails safety soaked off by your former nail salon, or remove them yourself with 100% pure acetone in a glass or metal bowl. I also, for safety reasons, do not remove other salons acrylic. If after a phone consultation the nail artist agrees to do a fill on your nails which were previously done by another salon, please be advised that we cannot guarantee how long your nails will actually last.  This is because we have no control over how your nails were originally done by another salon, and this plays a major role in lifting. If the nail growth is past what we would consider a “fill”, please note you will be charged at the full set price.  Also, the nail artist reserves the right to decide if she has enough time to do the nails that are considered past the “fill” condition. A refund will not be provided and you will be charged in full set price.

PAYMENTS

We require that all appointments be secured by credit card with a minimum of a 25% deposit for an in-studio appointment, and a 50% deposit for mobile services. For party’s, groups and special events a 50% deposit for the estimated services requested is required at the time of booking. Appointments are considered booked once payment information is received and processed.

Your appointments are very important to me, and it is reserved especially for you. I understand that sometimes schedule adjustments are necessary. Therefore, I respectfully request appointments be canceled or rescheduled at least 24 hours before your scheduled appointment only by going online or over the phone. Notice via text or voicemail is not accepted and will not be considered as a valid rescheduling of your appointment. If you cancel within 24 hours, you may reschedule. However, less than a 24-hour notice will result in the charge of the full-service price. All deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE.

LATE SHOWS

I utilize every minute of your appointment time to ensure that your nails are PERFECT!! If you are late, you may not be able to get exactly what you wanted on your nails. If it’s your first time coming, please make yourself familiar with the area well before your appointment time. After you are 15 minutes late, you will need to RESCHEDULE and you will be charged FULL PRICE and your deposit will be lost.  If you are going to be late, PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE by calling the Nail Artist at: (323) 230-0331.
