Art tiers
We tier our nail-art pricing so you don’t pay Tier-3 rates for a French. Your tech will confirm the tier on a sample tip before we start so the price is locked in. You can mix tiers across nails — accent one finger in Tier 3 and let the rest live in Tier 1.
Tier 1
Single chrome, soft French, baby aura, one-color ombré, two accent stamps or stickers, micro hearts, micro stars.
Tier 2
Hand-painted illustrations on a few nails, multi-color ombré, marble, full-set chrome French, mini bows, painted bows.
Tier 3
Full-set custom design, 3D textures, water droplets, sculpted gems, hand-illustrated portraits or scenes, runway-style sets.
How it works
We ask for a credit card hold (never a charge), confirm by text within an hour, and remind you the day before. Easy in, easy out, no surprise pricing at the till.
Tell us what you’re after — gel, BIAB, Gel-X, or a custom set. Add an art tier from 1 to 3 if you want art on top.
Select a slot, pick an artist if you have a favourite, and tell us if you have gel or extensions on now so we add removal.
You’ll get a confirmation text within an hour during business hours, and a reminder the day before. Reply STOP at any time.
We’ll do clean prep, the set, finishing oil, and a free portrait at the ring-light corner before you leave.
What people say
We don’t inflate the count. 92% are five-star — the rest are honest fours, usually about parking or our lateness policy. Both fair.

“I went in for my friend’s wedding and Mei built me a coffin set in two hours that wore beautifully right through the wedding and the honeymoon. The salon is small and pink and clean. I’m going back for my own birthday next month.”

“My nails have peeled forever. I tried BIAB at Fresh Set after seeing them on TikTok and three months in I have actual nails for the first time. The cuticle work alone is worth it.”

“I did NOT need another nail spot in my life. I came in for one chrome French and now I have a standing Friday. The vibe is just so much better than my old place — actual seating area, ring light, real conversations.”

“I’m picky about cuticles and the prep here is genuinely good. They asked about my line of work and pulled the length and shape that wouldn’t catch on my keyboard. Small thing, big difference.”

“Booked Christine for a 3D water-droplet set after seeing her work on TT. She actually freehands them — no decals — and I cried a little when I saw the finished set. Tier 3 is pricier but you get what you pay for.”

“Showed up 12 minutes late, full apology, they still slotted me in cleanly. The studio runs on time which is rare for nails in Markham. The colour selection is genuinely overwhelming in a good way.”

Nail care guide
Quick reads for the things people ask us most: when to oil, why gel lifts, what to avoid in the first twelve hours, and when to rebook. No medical claims, just what we’ve learned doing 300 sets a month.
Your gel is fully cured — but the topcoat is still seating. A few small adjustments to the next half-day make the wear noticeably better.
Cuticle oil is the single biggest variable between a set that just barely lasts and one that wears the full window. Here's the routine we give every regular.
Lift is almost always a prep issue, not a polish issue. Here are the four things to check before you blame the gel.
