What we do
Dip & gel sets
01A combination of dip powder and gel polish built to protect the natural nail while it grows, the technique clients specifically ask for by name.
Manicures & pedicures
02Shaping, cuticle work, and polish done at an unhurried pace, with attention paid to the nail bed as much as the finish.
Gel & shellac
03Chip-resistant polish that keeps its shine and color through daily use without weighing down the natural nail.
Acrylics & fills
04Sculpted length and fills for existing sets, shaped and smoothed so the new growth blends in cleanly.
Nail art & design
05Custom designs added to a gel or acrylic set, from simple accents to detailed patterns done freehand.
Spa pedicures
06A longer pedicure with a soak, scrub, and massage chair, finished with the same careful shaping as every other service.

Call to bookShaped before it's polished
Every set starts with cuticle and nail-bed work before any color or product is applied.
One technician, start to finish
You keep the same technician for your visit so the work stays consistent from prep to polish.
Fills timed to your growth
Acrylic and gel fills are scheduled around how fast your own nails grow, not a fixed calendar.
A room built around the pedicure chairs, not the clock
Lotus Hair & Nails Salon runs on a simple idea: healthy nails take longer than damaged ones to fix, so the work is done slowly the first time. The studio is bright and tidy, with a row of massage pedicure chairs along one wall and the kind of light wood and tile you notice is clean the moment you sit down. Regulars come back for the same technician and the same steady hand — clients mention Mia by name for dip-and-gel sets that let natural nails grow out instead of breaking at the tip.
“Mia is so great! She does dipping gel and it works so well and lasts so long. I can go four weeks without them breaking and it gives my nails time to grow out and stay healthy!”
“After a lifetime of getting acrylics and gel x tips, Mia is the first person to make my natural nails look amazing!”
“Been coming to Lotus since my nail girl, Mia, moved over from another nail salon. She does amazing, clean work and I always get so many compliments! The place is small, but clean.”

good to know
- What's the difference between dip and gel?
- Dip powder builds strength and is often used to protect a nail that's been breaking, while gel polish gives a flexible, glossy finish. Many clients here get a combination of both, which is worked out with your technician based on how your nails are doing.
- How long will my set last?
- It depends on the service and how your nails grow, but proper shaping and cuticle prep at application are what keep a set looking clean longer. Fills or touch-ups are scheduled around your own regrowth rather than a fixed date.
- Do I need an appointment?
- Booking ahead gets you a set time and your preferred technician if you have one. Call and we can talk through what's open and get you on the schedule.
