I've been going to Nichol for about a year now and I will never go anywhere else for three reasons: Healthy Nails: I found Nichol because I was looking for help regrowing healthy and strong nails. My nails were in a bad state from getting them done at other salons and would break every couple of weeks. By my second manicure with Nichol, my nails felt strong, and I don't ever worry about a broken nail ever. She does an incredible structured gel manicure and it lasts 5+ weeks on me.

Here are a few of...

I am so glad I found IntentioNails! I have been getting regular manicures in the Bay Area for over a decade and the level of service and care I get with Nichol is unmatched. I used to get gel manicures or acrylics with gel, and experimented with dip powder, but all of these services with other shops left my natural nails in bad shape and didn’t last. Nichol is well trained in Korean and Japanese gel techniques, which are a healthier and long lasting option for my nails. She is always taking new classes to expand her knowledge and nail art offerings, and is always honest about timing and capabilities. She is so easy to talk to, our appointments feel like a yap sesh with a friend and I get a gorgeous new nail look...
