About me
Hi, my name is Nhi. I am an independent nail technician located at The Collaborative Studios, 4816 Ottawa Street, #203, Bismarck, ND 58503.
​
I specialize in acrylic and builder gel nails with a focus on trendy, detailed, and fun designs. Thank you for choosing me as your nail artist and for trusting me with your time and beauty needs. I’ve put a lot of care into creating a policy that helps ensure a smooth, respectful, and professional experience for everyone.
Please know that my policy is not personal — it’s simply a standard I’ve set to create an environment where I can do my best work and attract clients who value mutual respect, clear communication, and punctuality. These guidelines help protect both your time and mine, and allow me to deliver consistent, high-quality service to every client.
My goal is to maintain a professional, positive, and stress-free space where everyone feels welcome and respected. If you ever have questions or concerns about any part of the policy, you can contact me anytime via Instagram: @nhis_naillab
​​My Policy
​​
1. Other nails shop/ nail technician's work
-
To maintain the highest standard of quality and ensure the health of your natural nails, I DO NOT work over or fill sets done by other nail technicians or salons. All new clients with existing enhancements will be required to book new set. This allows me to start with a clean foundation using my own products, techniques, and prep methods.
-
I do not offer removal services for work not done by me. This policy is in place to ensure that each appointment is used fully to focus on creating a high-quality set or design specifically tailored to you. Work done by other salons/ nail techs often vary in product and technique, which can take additional time to remove and affect the quality of my work. That time is better spent perfecting your new set and achieving the best results possible.
​
-
If you currently have nails done elsewhere, please ensure they are removed prior to your appointment. Thank you for understanding and supporting the quality and consistency of my work!​
2. Booking & deposit​
-
I required a card on file and a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit of $20 at the time of booking and it will be applied toward your nails service on the day of your appointment. . The deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE/ NON-TRANSFERABLE if you were to cancel for any reason. See image below for reference to save a card on file when booking.

​​​3. Late policy​​​

​​​
-
A reminder text will be sent 48 hours prior to your appointment, giving you the opportunity to confirm or cancel. A prompt response is greatly appreciated, as it helps me offer any openings to clients eagerly waiting for last-minute availability.
