A quiet room, and nails worth looking at
Dip, acrylic and deluxe pedicures on Green Bay Road, with hand-painted detail and a wall of color to choose from.
“Mai and Cici are the best nail technician I’ve ever had. She does things in her process that I’ve never seen any other technician do.”Jamie B. · Google
Why people stay
Three things regulars mention first
A wall, not a tray
Hundreds of bottles on one curved rack, so you choose the exact shade in daylight instead of squinting at a handful of samples.
A room that stays quiet
Orchids, plants and daylight, and a room that stays calm. It’s the thing people notice first when they walk in, and the thing we protect hardest.
Detail done by hand
Fine florals, French edges and freehand art, painted at the desk one nail at a time. Bring a picture — it’s the quickest way to show us what you want.
Services
Hands, feet, and everything painted on them

Questions
Before you come in
Do you take walk-ins?
Yes, walk-ins are welcome seven days a week. If you want a particular technician, or you’re bringing a group, give us a call at (847) 920-5878 first so we can plan for you. Saturdays and Sundays are our shortest days, so those are worth calling ahead for.
How much does a set cost?
It depends on length, shape and how much art you want, so there’s no single number we can print. Call (847) 920-5878, tell us what you have in mind, and we’ll give you the price over the phone.
Which should I get, dip or acrylic?
Dip powder sits on your own nail with no tips added. Acrylic is the one to choose if you want real length or a stronger rebuild. Tell us what your hands go through in a week and we’ll point you to the right one.
How long should I plan for?
It depends on what you’re having done and how busy we are when you arrive. Call (847) 920-5878, tell us what you want, and we’ll tell you how long to plan for before you head over.
What if the service I want isn’t on the list?
Ask us. The list on this page covers what people come in for most, not everything we can do. Call (847) 920-5878 and describe what you want.
Can you fix one broken nail?
Yes, and you don’t need a full set to come in for it. Call first and we’ll tell you the best time to stop by.
Can I bring a picture of the nails I want?
Please do. Our art is painted freehand, so a reference photo is the fastest way to get it right.
Where do I park?
There’s parking at the front of the building on Green Bay Road and more behind it, and it’s free.
Do you do children’s manicures?
Yes. Kids are welcome, and we keep it simple and quick for them.
