Preferred Technician/Artist:

Here are a few things to consider before arriving for your appointment.

When you arrive at BeautyBar, you'll be greeted with a smile. Although returning a smile is optional, we highly recommend it! Our objective is to spread happiness and positivity to all our clients. With that said, we have a zero-tolerance policy against rude and belligerent behavior.

While you are welcome to use your phone for entertainment during your appointment, we kindly ask that you refrain from talking on the phone so as not to disturb others. If you need to take a call, we ask that you step outside of the salon to do so.

We have two delightful Shih Tzus, Bella and Bobby, who adore people but can become territorial around other dogs. You're welcome to bring in your fur baby to meet BellaBob, but please let us know in advance.

Children of all ages are welcome at BeautyBar. However, if you bring an underage guest into the salon, please make sure they are supervised. If your guest disrupts others, we'll politely ask you to reschedule your appointment.

We truly value your appointments with us and want to ensure that every client has the opportunity to experience the exceptional service we take pride in providing. Clear communication is essential in this process. When you inform us in advance of any changes to your appointment, it allows our team to adjust their schedules and offer your time slot to clients who may be waiting for an opening.

This not only helps us maintain a smooth and efficient operation but also ensures that everyone who comes through our doors receives the attention and care they deserve. By giving us 24 hours' notice, you help us optimize our resources and maintain the high standard of service that our clients expect and appreciate.

Our cancellation policy is designed with this in mind:

-If you provide at least 24 hours' notice before your scheduled appointment, no charges will apply.

-If notice is given less than 24 hours prior, a fee of 50% of the reserved service amount will be charged.

We understand that life can be unpredictable, and we will always strive to work with you in case of an emergency. Your cooperation helps us continue to offer first-class service to every client, ensuring that each visit is as special as the last.

If you will be late for an appointment, we appreciate a call or text us before your appointment time. If we're not notified in advance, your appointment will be canceled 10 minutes past the appointment time as a no-show and we'll require a 50% deposit for your next booking. Thank you for making every effort to help us keep our salon's appointments flowing efficiently.

Our team of highly skilled artists are dedicated to producing exceptional work and take great pride in the quality of their services. This is why we confidently offer a 7-day guarantee on all our nail enhancement services.

If you encounter any issues with the quality of your nails within the first 7 days of your appointment, please inform us, and we will address the issue at no additional cost to you. We stand by our work and want to ensure that you are completely satisfied with the result.

Please note that accidental breakage is not covered under this guarantee. However, if you experience any quality issues, simply inform us within the 7-day window, and we will arrange for a repair appointment.

Although we prefer not to fix work created by other salons, we do so quite often. Each nail salon or specialist employs unique techniques and processes when crafting nail enhancements, which requires us to identify the products and application methods employed by the previous salon before safely addressing any issues with the nails. This complexity adds to the challenge of our job, yet we seldom decline repair requests unless the nails are unhealthy. Once repair clients witness our gentle and meticulous approach, they usually book for future appointments.

Absolutely! We’re delighted to offer special salon packages tailored just for you. Dive into our Mani/Pedi/Facial packages for a truly pampering experience that rejuvenates from head to toe. Looking for something more? Our 6-packs and 12-packs of your favorite services like manicures come with great discounts, making it easier for you to enjoy more of what you love. For more details on our packages and to see the full range of options, please visit our Packs page.

Absolutely! We encourage our team to speak in the language they’re most comfortable with when chatting with each other. When they do, they’re usually talking about life, friends, and family; just like anyone would in a warm and welcoming workplace. We love fostering personal connections, and that includes our team feeling at home while they work.

That said, we understand that guests may wonder if they’re being talked about. Rest assured, that’s simply not who we are; kindness, respect, and inclusion guide everything we do, both personally and professionally. When engaging with guests, we ask our team to use English (unless the client prefers another language) to ensure clear communication. If you ever feel unsure or curious, just ask; we’re happy to include you in the conversation!

It all comes down to trust, something that's deeply ingrained in everything we do.

We understand your commitment to self-care, and that's why we're your trusted partner on this journey. Here are a few commitments we've made with you in nurturing your well-being:

Unwavering Excellence: We're all about maintaining top-notch quality. Operating by appointment only ensures that every visit guarantees the same exceptional service. We're dedicated to exceeding our own high standards, giving you consistency you can count on.

Trusted Connection: Our bond goes beyond business. It's built on trust, reliability, and genuine care. We cherish the relationships we've nurtured over time. When families trust us across generations, it's a testament to the depth of our connection.

Constant Growth: We're great listeners. Your feedback is pivotal in our evolution. We're dedicated to enhancing our services continually. Our team stays abreast of trends, dedicating themselves to refining your salon experience. Your investment ensures an ever-improving journey towards self-care.

We offer customized pricing for nail art designs based on their complexity. For a simple design on two nails, price starts at $6. For more complex designs, please send us a text message with a photo of the design, and we'll provide you with a personalized price quote.

We have an extensive and ever-expanding collection of colors. Presently, we provide over 600 lacquer colors, 1000 gel polish colors, 300 Japanese gel polish colors, and 600 dipping powder colors.

Although we're known for our hand-painted designs, we also offer a variety of decals and charms that can either complement a hand-painted design or help you create a unique design of your own.

We offer gift cards for any occasion and in any desired amount. You can purchase a gift card online or by either visiting our salon.

Nail enhancements and products don't cause damage to your nails. However, improper application or removal can destroy your natural nails. Properly removing nail enhancements requires gentle care and adequate time. To ensure the safety and health of your nails, we set aside ample time to carefully and gently remove gel polish (30min), dip powder (30min), Gel-X (30min), acrylic (45min), and hard gel (60min). Your real nails should look this healthy immediately after removal.

Read on to learn more about maintaining perfect natural nails. We're committed to keeping our clients informed about all aspects of nail care, so we created a blog to provide helpful tips and facts and dispel old myths.

Although it's possible, we choose not to provide rushed services. Unlike many other nail salons that prioritize profits over quality, BeautyBar places emphasis on delivering exceptional work and establishing genuine connections with our guests. We allow ample time for our services to guarantee superior results and will never compromise our values for the sake of expediency or financial gain.

BeautyBar has been in operation since 2015. Our team of experts has over 100 years of collective experience in providing top-notch services in nail care, hair removal, and facial skin care. While experience is a valuable asset, we don't rely on it alone. We're constantly exploring and incorporating new trends and products to offer our clients added value.
