About us

Welcome home.

We're a nail art and skin care salon for everyone — but make no mistake, we're also a community. A safe space free of hate speech. Inclusive of all genders. Genuinely happy to see you walk in.

The 7th Street location is an OG ATX house from the 1920s, owned by the guy who grew up in it. Our second spot on South Congress is a delightful Pink Palace tucked into the first floor of a condo. Two homes, one wildly committed crew.

Real words from real humans

What folks say after the chair.

★★★★★
"I had 'gel nail extensions with simple art' done by Maria Rodriguez. I love them so much! Maria listened to my requests, was real with me, gentle with my hands, and took her time in making my nails perfect. They make me feel so cute. And speaking of cute, wow the studio aesthetic is immaculate. I feel like this place was made just for me."

"Gracie is honestly the best. She's kind, professional, and down to earth which makes it easy being in the chair. Her work is always on point and never rushed. My nails turn out exactly how I want them (if not better!!) and I get compliments on them all the time. As much as I'd like to gatekeep, I recommend her to anyone who asks because she's unmatched."

"I had my first appointment at Cute Nail Studio with Lorb and it was perfect! She has such an eye for detail and was able to perfectly hand paint tiny details like a bow and arrow on one nail without even looking at a reference photo! I got a custom set of hard gel nails that were better than I envisioned. This was the best manicure I have ever had."

We are cash only

Keeps our prices cute and our small business healthy. We've got the lowest-fee ATM in the city right on premises.

🫁

Real ventilation

A crazy expensive filtration system and fume extractors at every table. The smell of most salons is not the vibe here.

🌃

Open later than anyone

Sometimes you just want your nails done and it's late. Cool — most of our chairs run until 10pm.

Come visit

Two homes.
Pick your favorite.

East Downtown Rainbow House or the South Congress Pink Palace. Both are open late. Both will love you.
