Reserve Your Experience
"I used to be so self conscious of how my nails looked due to YEARS of anxiety nail biting and picking. I decided to give my nails a second chance with builder gel and oh my god - easily one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Ashley is by far the most skilled technician I’ve ever had. Within the 1st 3 appointments I had with her, I was already seeing major changes to the health of my nails. I cannot thank her enough for helping me rebuild and strengthen my natural nails!"

Easily One Of The Best Decisions I’ve Ever Made
"I had a fantastic experience at keen. This salon offers waterless manis and pedis and offers a nontoxic environment for you to relax in. I went in on a Sunday afternoon. I did not have to wait. I was offered something to drink as I sat down to get my nails done and then again when I sat down for my feet. Rachel started with my gel mani and then did my regular pedi. I went with the keep it simple. I really like how they apply sunscreen to your hand before placing it under the light."

I Had A Fantastic Experience
"Best pedicure experience. Obsessed with the non-toxic commitment (your senses aren't assaulted with the smell of polish and acetone when you walk in, which is a novel concept for someone who has been getting pedicures at traditional nail salons all her life). The absence of the traditional tubs of water also went unnoticed - I left feeling clean and a convert of the waterless pedicure. In fact, the entire experience feels so sanitary. I look forward to coming back."

I Left Feeling Clean & A Convert Of The Waterless Pedicure
"Ash has been my tech since January of this year and she makes the experience better each time! We became friends instantly and each time we see eachother we catch eachother up on what's going on in our lives while she does the most incredible work on my nails. Since using builder base gel my nails have grown so much and have gotten so much stronger. I recommend this place to anyone that's willing to spend a little more to have the best quality service and an even better experience!"

Since Using Builder Base Gel My Nails Have Grown So Much
"Not your typical nail salon, bright, airy and fresh feeling inside. Staff is very polite, and offers you a beverage upon arrival. I'm particular about how my nails are filed, and the nail tech was open to my feedback. Love the waterless technique, and use of hot towels instead. It feels more sanitary without the soak. I also observed constant cleaning and disinfecting of both pedicure and nail stations in between appointments."
