Here's the whole list, the same one you'll see when you book. Every figure is a starting point — the final price depends on length, shape and how much design you want. There's no consultation fee, and you'll know your number before I start, never after.
My specialty — eight years of it.
Same care, from the ankle down.
The two-hour reset. Book them together and it's one appointment, not two.
These go on top of a manicure. They aren't services on their own.
Everyone's welcome in my chair.
Paying more than the starting price isn't a surprise, it's a choice. If what you want costs more than the figure on this page, I tell you before I pick up a file — so you can say yes, or change it, or leave it for next time.
Most of what you're paying me for is the part you can't see, and nearly all of it happens before any colour goes on. Here's what I'm actually doing while it looks like nothing much is happening.
Almost every set that lifts early lifts because of the first ten minutes: a bit of oil left on the nail, dust under the base, moisture that wasn't taken out. Nothing sticks to that. I'd rather spend the time there than see you back in six days.
Cutting is faster and I don't do it. They grow back thicker, and it's an open door for infection. Pushed back and tidied takes longer, but it's also why the colour sits flush at the base instead of flooding over it — which is the difference you actually see in photos.
Filing nail by nail is quick and it's how you end up with ten slightly different nails. I hold both hands up at eye level and match them, and I'll do it more than once. It's the thing nobody can name but everybody notices.
A thick coat looks finished sooner and cures unevenly — it shrinks, it lifts, it chips at the edge. Thin ones take me longer to apply and take you longer to wear out. I also seal the free edge, which is why yours shouldn't chip at the tip in the first week.
So you can work out roughly where you'll land before you sit down.
A short almond and a long stiletto are not the same job. More length means more product and more time shaping it, and the price follows.
A solid colour is included. Chrome, French or hand-painted art is an add-on from $10 — and an intricate design across all ten nails takes longer than a detail on two.
A broken nail to repair, or a set from another salon to remove, is extra work before the new one starts. If that's the case, I'll say so and give you the number first.
Because a manicure isn't one fixed job. The same gel manicure costs differently on a short natural nail than on a long sculpted one with art on every finger. Publishing a single closed price would mean charging some people more than they should pay, and surprising the rest at the end. I'd rather show you the floor and tell you the real number in person.
Refills, from $50 every two to three weeks. A new full set every time costs more and is harder on your natural nail. If you keep the same set going, refills are what you'll pay most of the year.
The prices on this page are for the set, not per nail. A very detailed design on all ten will go above the $10 starting point, and I'll tell you what it comes to before starting.
Booking works through Booksy — whatever it asks you for at the time of booking is what applies. If you'd rather sort it out directly, call me at (786) 851-0388.
Removing a set done somewhere else is extra work, and I price it when I see it — it depends on the product used and the state of the nail underneath. Call and describe it and I'll give you a range.
Booksy shows my live availability. The phone gets you me — no receptionist in between.
