Studio archive
Every finished set is photographed before it leaves the chair. Chrome, aura, fine-line and quiet naturals, kept for the archive.
“The most careful set I have ever worn. Three weeks on and the edges are still glass.”
“I brought a magazine tear-out and Hana read it perfectly. Quiet, precise, worth every dollar.”
“The only place my natural nails have ever grown out strong. I finally stopped biting them.”
Appointment only. Send a request or text the studio, and we reply by text within the hour on studio days.
