DESIGN TIERS
Every set starts with a base service. Choose a design tier add-on to elevate your nails to the next level.
Customize Your Look
Tier levels are determined by a combination of the techniques used and the intricacy of the design. A look that uses fewer techniques may still fall into a higher tier based on the detail and time required to execute it. Final tier pricing may vary depending on the complexity of your chosen design.
