Kat is an absolute gem! Seriously, she's the best, no contest. She's been doing my nails now for years! I love her so much! Her talent for creating intricate designs on tiny nail beds blows me away every time. I usually stroll in without a clue of what I want, and just let her unleash her creativity. My nails always turn out amazing, and I get compliments nonstop! Plus, she's super personable, making every appointment feel comfortable. I can't wait for my next visit!

I absolutely LOVE coming to Drip Nail Salon to get my nails done. My favorite nail artist, Marina Harvey, is the best. She not only loves to take nail designs to the next level, she also educates me on nail care and keeps me up to date on the latest trends. I take my nails seriously and Marina keeps me feeling fly. 10/10!!!

Marina is seriously the best nail tech I've been to! She's super fast without ever sacrificing quality, every set is so precise and clean. She's also so fun to talk to, which makes every appointment enjoyable. Her designs are always creative, and if you bring in any inspo picture, she can recreate it perfectly while still tweaking it to fit your style. I always leave obsessed with my nails. Highly recommend booking with her!

I have been going to Drip for about a year now, and it has been the BEST experience! Appointments are super easy to set up and you receive reminders well in advance. I'm recognized by name when I arrive, and I am always served a drink of my choosing. Marina is super dope and has been keeping my feet in shape! I know I can be hard on my dogs, so getting pedicures is a must. Marina makes sure to give me sound advice I can use for self-maintenance and holds me to it when I check in lol! Good conversation, friendly staff, positive vibes (the music is ALWAYS ON POINT), and customer service is A1. What more could you ask for? I will continue to make that drive to Drip Nail Salon!

I had an amazing experience with Kathleen at Drip Nail Salon! She is truly an expert in her field and consistently delivers flawless work with incredible attention to detail. Not only are my nails always beautiful, but she also makes the entire experience relaxing and enjoyable. Kathleen's customer service skills are exceptional. She is friendly, professional, patient, and genuinely cares about her clients. You can tell she takes pride in her craft and goes above and beyond every time. Highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for top-quality nail services! Will be coming back again soon.

I genuinely had such a wonderful experience at Drip Nail Salon. From the moment I walked in, everyone was kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere felt calm and comfortable. Kathleen did my nails, and you can truly tell how much care she puts into her work. She paid attention to every detail, took her time, and made sure I loved everything before I left. It's rare to find someone who is both talented and genuinely thoughtful with their clients. I left feeling so happy with my nails and overall experience. I'll absolutely be coming back to see Kathleen again!

Frequently asked questions

Good to know.

Gel X is a full coverage soft gel extension that adds instant length in five sizes from X-Short to X-Long, with an express dry manicure and gel polish included. Builder gel is an overlay applied to your natural nail for added strength and structure without extra length.

Gemstone pedicures run from about 30 minutes for the Citrine up to 80 minutes for the Rose Quartz. Manicures, extensions and nail art vary by service and design, so we recommend booking ahead so we can reserve the right amount of time for you.

Gel polish can be added to any manicure or pedicure for $20. Gel X sets already include gel polish and an express dry manicure.

Yes. Guests under nine can enjoy a kids manicure for $15, a pedicure for $20 or both for $30, with gel polish available as an add on.
