An absolute hidden gem if you're sick of boring nails and want make the nail design you found on pinterest a reality. Found this place literally by searching what I could use my credits for on class pass. There's quite a few nail salons on here but what stuck out for me is that they offer for you to do nail design if you call ahead and pay the additional. Upon getting to the salon Anastasia was ready to do my nails and I asked her about a simple design. She said she can do anything I shower her - and she means it. She has a degree in art and design so her capability is incredible. My nails never looked so good - seriously impressed with her work. Will definitely be coming back! PS - Bonus, they have the cutest little dog named teddy that looks like a teddy bear to keep you company during your nail treatment.
