Glaze · Nail Studio

Austin, TX, 78702

A loud little nail studio in East Austin. Mostly chrome, freehand line work, gel-x sets that need their own caption. By appointment only, fueled by iced lattes and whatever's on Maya's playlist that week. Bring a reference, a vibe, or absolutely nothing — we'll figure it out.

About Me

Maya

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.

Scheduling Notice

Saturdays book out 3–4 weeks ahead. Weekday afternoons usually have something next week. Last-minute openings get posted to Instagram first.

    • 60 min$65.00

  • Builder Gel · Natural Nails

    Builder gel as an overlay on your natural nails — no extensions, just structure. Stronger than regular gel polish, perfect for rebuilding after a set comes off.

    • 150 min$145.00

  • Custom Art Hour

    An extra hour of freehand work on top of any set — florals, line work, color blocking, hand-painted fruit, butterflies, flames, your dog. Bring references or just trust the process.

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.
