Walk-ins welcome; booked clients keep their time.
A walk-in visit
Give a name and a phone number. We tell you the wait for what you want, and we text you if you would rather run an errand.
Choose from the wall. Ask for gel, dip or plain polish, and we tell you how long it takes before we start.
If you booked, your technician starts at your time, whoever is waiting. Walk-ins fill the spaces in between.
