What we do
Manicures
01Shaping, cuticle care, and a polish or gel finish, done at a pace that lets each step actually set before the next.
Spa pedicures
02Soak, scrub, and a massage worked into the service, finished with the shaping and polish of a standard pedicure.
Gel & shellac
03A gel finish that resists chipping day to day, applied and cured properly so it lifts less at the edges.
Acrylics & fills
04Full sets and fills, shaped to a length that suits your hands and maintained on a regular schedule.
Nail art & design
05Hand-painted detail, from a single accent nail to a full set, worked in after the base color sets.
Polish changes
06A fresh coat of color on natural or existing nails when you don't need a full manicure, just a new shade.
Not sure what to ask for? Call — we’ll talk it through.
Call to bookBase work first
Cuticle care and shaping happen before any color goes on, every visit, no exceptions.
Cured before you leave
Gel coats are cured under the lamp at each stage instead of rushed through at the end.
Your shape, not a template
Acrylic length and shape are discussed with you before the set is built, not assumed.
The last coat gets the same attention as the first
Simply Shear & Spa is a Lakeside studio built around the parts of a manicure that are easy to skip: the cuticle work, the shaping, the massage before the polish goes on. A Google reviewer described the pedicure here as the best they'd had, down to the attention to detail. That's the standard for every service on the menu, not just the pedicure chair — clean tools, a tech who isn't rushing to the next chair, and a set that's meant to hold its shape, not just look good walking out the door.
“Came here on a whim as my usual place was booked, well let’s just say I found my new pedicure spot. Literally the best pedicure I’ve ever had. The attention to detail, the massage, the painting.”
“Tina,Tina,Tina! She’s amazing with kids and great at pedicures. Every time we are in town it’s a must to visit and get pampered!”
“Tina did my pedicure and yall when I tell you she is the best, I mean she is the best my feet have never been soo smooth and the massage is just out of this world.”

good to know
- How long will my gel or acrylic set last?
- It depends on your nail growth and how you use your hands day to day, but the finish work — thin coats, full cure time, sealed edges — is done specifically to reduce early chipping and lifting.
- Can I get nail art added to any service?
- Yes, nail art can be added to a manicure, pedicure, or full acrylic set. Bring an idea or a photo, or describe what you're picturing, and it's painted in once the base coat has set.
- Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
- Booking ahead is the more reliable way to get in, especially for full sets or spa pedicures that take more time. Call and ask what the schedule looks like for the day you have in mind.
