Emerald Nail Lounge

Est. — Botanical Nail Studio

Nail artistry grown in the garden.

Signature manicures, botanical pedicures, and hand-painted nail art — crafted in a calm, green-lit sanctuary.

The Difference

Small rituals, taken seriously.

  • 01

    Botanical atmosphere

    Surrounded by real monstera, ferns, and fiddle leaves — a genuine greenhouse sanctuary.

  • 02

    Clean, medical-grade tools

    Autoclave sterilization on every implement. New files and buffers with every client.

  • 03

    Master nail artists

    Our lead techs average 8+ years of experience, trained in Korean, Japanese, and Russian techniques.

  • 04

    Little luxuries, always

    Complimentary cold-pressed teas, warm towels, heated seats, and a curated playlist.

a note about the work

A quiet, green place for your hands to rest.

Emerald Nail Lounge was founded in 2021 by Nina Tran, a third-generation nail artist who wanted to reimagine the salon as a retreat. Every detail — from the low candlelight to the hand-glazed ceramic bowls — is designed to help you exhale. We use only 10-free, cruelty-free lacquers and hand-mix our own cuticle oils from cold-infused botanicals grown on-site.

Services

From classic manicures to Russian sculpted almonds — every service is a slow, deliberate craft.

Kind Words

Stories from the studio.

“Walking into Emerald feels like stepping into a rainforest cathedral. My Russian almond set is still perfect after three weeks.”
— Amelia R. Regular Client
“Nina painted the tiniest fern on my ring finger and I have never been so obsessed. Also the iced oolong? Unmatched.”
— Jordan K. Local Guide
“I have sensitive skin and every other salon leaves my cuticles angry. Never here. Their 10-free polishes are the real deal.”
— Priya S. Bi-Weekly Guest
“Booked a pedicure on a whim. Left two hours later feeling like a new person. The heated stone massage alone is worth it.”
— Marcus D. First-Time Visitor
“This is my bi-weekly ritual now. Quiet, beautiful, and the work is genuinely artistic — not just another polish change.”
— Elena V. Monthly Regular
