The team

Three techs. Book whoever you click with.

Imani

Owner · Gel-X & nail art

Opened the Room in 2019 after eight years in salons that rushed her. Trained in structured gel in Atlanta and still takes a class every year. Get her started on chrome and you'll be there a while.

Bre

Structured gel & repairs

Six years in, and the one people come to after a bad set somewhere else. If your nails are thin, peeling or you've been told to just cut them off, book with Bre first.

Dani

Pedicures & classic sets

Came over from a spa background, which is why her pedicures run long and nobody minds. Quietest chair in the room if you'd rather sit and not talk.

Before you come

The boring bits, said plainly.

None of this is here to catch you out. It's here so nobody's day gets ruined by a rule they found out about at the register.

Deposits

$20 to hold any appointment over an hour, taken off your total on the day. Everything shorter, just book — no deposit.

Running late

Message us. Up to 15 minutes and we'll still do the full service. Past that we may have to shorten it or move you, because the person after you booked too.

Cancelling

24 hours' notice and your deposit rolls over or comes back. Less than that and we keep it — the chair sat empty.

Bring a picture

Screenshots are the best way to tell us what you want. Bring three if you can't decide and we'll tell you honestly what will suit your nail shape.

What clients say

Reviews.

★★★★★

Four weeks and not one lift. I do dishes, I garden, I am hard on my hands, and these held the whole time. I have never had a set make it past two weeks anywhere else.

Brought in a screenshot I was nervous about and Bre told me straight that the shape wouldn't suit my nail bed, then showed me what would. She was right. I appreciated being told instead of just going along with it.

Booked a gel manicure on my lunch break and was back at my desk inside the hour like they said I would be. Nobody rushed me and nobody kept me waiting. That is rarer than it should be.
