Customer Reviews
“Maya's sets last a full month without a single lift. A MONTH. I've stopped even looking at other studios.”
“I came in with a Pinterest board of chrome aura nails and she matched it exactly, then made it better. The custom art hour is the most fun I've had sitting still.”
“Builder gel here saved my natural nails after years of acrylics. They're stronger than they've ever been and the shape is identical every single time.”

About Me
Maya Okonkwo
she/her
I've been doing nails as my actual job since 2022. Before that I was painting in art school. Before that I was a kid customizing my Bratz dolls with a Sharpie. The throughline is the same: tiny canvases, big colors, no apologies. I'm licensed in Texas (MA-1138472), trained in gel-x, builder gel, and electric-file safety, and constantly chasing weirder finishes — chrome flakes, glass overlays, jelly tips, whatever a nail tech I follow posted at 2am last week. Send me a Pinterest board, send me a screenshot, send me one word — I'll come back with something.

Cancellation Policy
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before your appointment.
I block real time for every appointment, so 24 hours' notice helps me actually fill the chair. Inside that window, I keep 50% of the service fee — and a no-show keeps the full amount. I am very forgiving for once-in-a-while emergencies; just text me, don't ghost.
