About the studio

Two chairs, one workbench, no rush.

We opened in 2019 with a simple idea: take fewer clients a day and do better work. Everything since — the press-on workshop included — came out of that.

Why we started making press-ons

Clients kept asking the same question: can I get this to last through a trip? Some were nurses who couldn't wear enhancements at work. Some lived two hours out. Some just didn't want to sit in a salon every three weeks.

So we started building sets at the bench between appointments — individually sized, hand-painted, and reusable. Now about half of what leaves the studio goes out in a box instead of out the door.

Same hands, same polish, same attention. Just a different delivery.

How we work

Four things we don't compromise on

Sanitation

Hospital-grade autoclave for every metal tool. Files, buffers, and liners are single-use and opened in front of you.

Nail health

We don't drill into the natural nail, and we'll tell you honestly when a set needs a break instead of a refill.

Time

Appointments are booked with buffer on both ends. You won't be hurried out, and you won't sit waiting.

Clear pricing

The price on the menu is the price at the counter. Removal, shaping, and nail art quotes are given up front.
