“I've been going to Dagamara for the past 3 years, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my nails. She is incredibly talented, detail-oriented, and consistently delivers beautiful, high quality work every single time.

From the moment you walk in, you're treated with professionalism, kindness, and first class service. She truly cares about her clients and takes pride in making sure every set is perfect.

If you're looking for an amazing nail technician who is reliable, skilled, and provides an exceptional experience, I highly recommend Dagamara. You won't be disappointed!”

Before you book

The questions people ask.

What's the difference between soft gel, poly gel and builder gel?

Soft gel (from $70) uses pre-shaped tips bonded with gel — light, natural-looking, easy to remove. Poly gel (from $80) is a thicker hybrid sculpted onto the nail, the strongest of the three. Builder gel (from $55 as an add-on) is a reinforcing layer over your natural nail rather than an extension. All three start from those prices and go up with length and design. If you're not sure which suits your nails, call and ask before booking.

Do you take walk-ins?

Yes. But there's one chair and one pair of hands — mine — so booking is the only way to guarantee your time. Same-day slots often show up on Booksy.

How long does an appointment take?

A gel manicure is around an hour. Extensions and refills take longer, and a mani + pedi together is closer to two hours. One client's review sums up the pace: “The BEST manicure + pedicure and in under an hour.”

How often should I come back?

Most of my clients come every two to three weeks for a refill. Gel holds its shine well past that, but regrowth at the cuticle is usually what decides it.

Do you speak Spanish?

Sí. Half the reviews on this page are in Spanish — you'll be understood either way. Ver esta página en español.
