About nailsaloon:
We were born in 2014, in DC’s Logan Circle. Since then, we’ve expanded to become the area’s premier nail salon and cocktail parlor, with five locations in the DMV. Here’s a bit more about us:
- We are obsessed with nail health. It’s why we use 5-free+ nail color, and non-toxic and nail-enriching products in all our ‘saloons. We practice hyper-cleanliness. It’s why, where single-use tools cannot be used, we use medical-grade sterilization. We know that time connecting to self - or others - is oxygen. It’s why our spaces are more lounge than salon, and our teams don’t have assigned stations, and our clients can sit together. We realize that nobody *needs* a mani or pedi. So, we celebrate those who choose to come and unwind by offering them hot tea, a latte, or a Bellini… to help clients unwind while they are pampered.
- We believe that giving back is what makes any of us most beautiful. That’s why - since day one - we’ve committed to giving a portion of our proceeds to organizations that support the communities we serve. To date, we’ve gifted almost $200,000.
