Almond, coffin, square, oval, stiletto, squoval, ballerina. Fifteen minutes. Walk in with uneven nails, walk out with a consistent shape.
You know which nail does not match the others.
It is usually the index finger or the pinky. You have filed it a dozen times and it comes out slightly different every time. Home filing is approximate work. You are working blind on your own hands with tools that are not designed for precision shaping. The result is nails that look fine individually but inconsistent as a set. For nail polish to look intentional, the shapes have to be consistent.
The other issue is not knowing what shape actually suits your hands. Almond and coffin are everywhere right now on social media. They look incredible on certain hand types. On other hand types, they elongate the fingers in a way that is not flattering, or they do not hold up with a shorter natural nail bed. The shapes that photograph well on someone else may not be the shapes that look best on your hands specifically.
That requires an honest assessment. Not just filing to a shape someone else asked for.
Fifteen minutes. Walk in with uneven nails, walk out with a consistent shape.
When you sit down, your nail technician looks at your hands. Finger length, nail bed width, current nail length, and the condition of the free edge. From there, a recommendation. You can take it or tell us what you want. Either way, we confirm the shape before we start and we do not change it halfway through.

We shape the most consistent nail on your dominant hand first. This becomes the reference point that every other nail is matched to.
Each nail filed to match the reference nail. Consistent length, consistent shape, consistent free edge across all ten nails.
We review the set together before you leave. If anything is off, we address it before you walk out.
We see every nail shape trend come through our Hialeah salon. Coffin and almond are the most requested right now. Classic square and oval never stop being asked for. Squoval is popular with clients who want clean edges without sharp corners.
Our technicians use a dominant-hand reference technique: we shape the strongest, most consistent nail on your dominant hand first, then match every other nail to that reference point. This is how you get a consistent set across all ten nails, not just nails that look individually correct but do not match each other.

It depends on your finger length, nail bed width, and current nail length. Short fingers with wide nail beds look best in oval or almond. Long fingers with narrow nail beds can carry coffin or square. Wide nail beds support most shapes. Short nail beds limit how much taper is visible. Your technician will tell you this before we file anything.
About 15 minutes as a standalone service. If nail shaping is part of a longer service, the timing is folded into the full appointment.
Yes. Nail shaping is available as a standalone service. You do not need to book a full manicure. Come in, get the shape you want, walk out.
Depends on how fast your nails grow. Most clients who maintain a specific shape come in every two to three weeks for a shape refresh alongside their regular nail service. If you are just fixing uneven nails from growing out, once is often enough to reset the shape.
Tell us before you leave. We can adjust before you walk out. After you leave, our 5-day satisfaction policy applies. Come back within 5 days and we make it right at no charge.
