Occasionally, I get an urge to do more than a single color no chip mani/pedi. When I want a knockout nail job, I get a lot of my nail art inspiration from Pinterest. Locating a nail shop in the North Shore with artists capable of doing elaborate work was difficult to find up until I found Nailed. Nailed is a 2 year old posh nail salon. They have quality nail polishes in an enormous range of colors. The interior is chic and clean and I take comfort in knowing this salon uses packaged sterilized tools for each client.The Yelp pictures showcase the quality of their work. For the Holidays, I booked my first appointment and was paired up with Ivanna. I told Ivanna I wanted to do a stringed lights design and showed her a photo off of Pinterest. She not only replicated the design to perfection but she also recommended that I use a shimmery ivory base as a background. Her work exceeded my expectations and I was very pleased with the result.What made this a 5 star review was the salons ability to accommodate my schedule. On the day of my appointment, I realized I was going to be in a time crunch. In order to make the events of the day work, I needed to leave early to make it to my next engagement. I asked if I could be bumped up an hour earlier and thankfully, they were able to meet my request despite the busy holiday weekend! Overall, the time spent to do my nails (no chip mani with nail art and pedi) took roughly 2 1/2 hours to complete. If you plan on doing something similar, I suggest you allot enough time so you can plan your day accordingly.Walk-ins, as stated by Yelp, are welcomed but I would highly suggest making an appointment.Lastly, pricing for this type of work is not cheap. Depending on the complexity and type of nail art you want, pricing can vary. Expect to pay roughly twice the amount you would pay for a standard no chip mani and pedi if you plan to do nail art for all fingers.Parking is free on the side streets for a max of 2 hours. Ian, the owner, mentioned available parking for patrons can be found at the business on site garage. Make sure to park only on the ground level of the building to avoid a ticket. I love Nailed and when I feel the need to treat myself, I will return! Read Less
