Highly recommended for poor, downtown, shellac fanatics with a flexible schedule.
This small nail place downtown is both the best and the cheapest place to get shellac or nail art done. It’s my #1 downtown gem. It is..wait for it…
$15 flat to get a Shellac manicure.
Not polish change. Full manicure, including shellac removal. Compare that to the average price of $35.
Not only that, but every nail technician there is experienced and professional. They don’t do waxing, facials or massages. They are a nail place; it’s their speciality and they are damn good at it. (They recently started offering pedicures too.) They have one of the biggest ranges of shellac colours I’ve ever seen and a bunch of nail art supplies. I’ve never gotten nail art but I have seen them doing other people and it always looks good. A lot of time the staff are away at nail art shows, so they seem really dedicated to the craft.
Entertainment wise, they have a ton of up-to-date magazines and usually a reality TV show playing. All the technicians also speak English, so you can easily converse with them.
The only downside is their hours. It can be difficult to get an appt, as I believe they only do shellac Thursdays-Sat and there is only 1 or 2 technicians working at once. On the plus side however, the owner, Nina, takes appts by text! So convenient especially if you are covertly trying to make an appt. while at work.
