Hi, I’m Ashley

Your friend who does really good nails

I run a one-chair studio in Albuquerque. No conveyor belt, no being handed between techs. Just good nails and a couple of hours that feel like hanging out.

How this started

I couldn’t stop doing nails. My own sets turned into friends asking, then their friends, then a full book of clients. Some of them were my very first sets ever, and they still come back.

This is my table. I pick the products, I do the prep, I paint every line. If your set turns out amazing, that’s on me. If it lifts in week one, that’s on me too, so tell me.

What I’m known for

Structure and art. I build a real apex, the unglamorous part nobody posts about, and it’s why your nails reach week four without breaking. Then the fun part: chrome, cat eye, French with a twist, whatever you saved at 1am. Bring it.

What an appointment is actually like

You get the whole slot. One client at a time, so I’m never rushing your nails to catch up. We can talk, or you can sit quietly with a podcast.

I’ll tell you honestly what will work. If a length or service won’t suit your nails, I’ll say so and offer something better.

The vibe

Playful, relatable, zero pretension. The vibe, the story and the connection matter as much as the set itself. Walk in for nails, stay for the experience.
