Booking
How to book an appointment
Booking runs through Booksy, which handles the calendar, the deposit and the reminders. Five steps, and the only thing that takes any thought is picking your design.
Send your inspiration photos first
Upload your reference photos on the inspo page, or send them to @evil_with_elegance. Nerissa replies with the design tier to book, which is what makes sure enough time is set aside for the set you actually want.
Pick your base service
A gel manicure is $45, a builder gel overlay is $65 and Gel-X extensions are $75. Pedicures, combinations and kids' and men's services are all on the full menu.
Add the design tier
Tier 1 Simple starts at $15 and Tier 4 Complex starts at $60. Cat-eye and chrome are a separate $10 add-on if they are part of the look you want.
Add a removal if you are wearing product
Coming from another salon? Add the first-time removal to your booking, from $15 depending on how thick it is and what was used. If you have been here before, removal is free, but still add it so the time is held for you.
Confirm and turn up
Booksy sends the reminders. Come with clean dry nails and your photos, and bring headphones if you are getting a big set, because detailed art can take well over an hour.
The policies, plainly
- Deposit
- Booksy shows the current deposit when you book. It comes off your total.
- Cancelling
- Give as much notice as you can so the slot can go to someone else. Late cancellations may forfeit the deposit under the Booksy terms.
- Running late
- Send a message through Booksy. If you are very late the art may have to be cut back, because the next client is already booked in.
- Guests
- It is a single-chair private suite, so one client at a time. A parent stays in the suite for kids' appointments.
- Payment
- Cards accepted. Tips are welcome, never required.
- Loyalty and packages
- There is a loyalty program and there are service packages on Booksy. Ask Nerissa at your appointment.
Questions before you book
How much does it cost to get your nails done at Evil With Elegance?
A gel manicure is $45, a builder gel overlay is $65 and Gel-X extensions are $75. Nail art is added on top by tier: Simple designs from $15, Detailed from $25, Advanced from $40, and Complex hand-drawn or 3D sets from $60. Every price is listed on the services page and on Booksy, so nothing gets added at the end that you did not already see.
How do I book a nail appointment?
Everything is booked through Booksy. Pick your base service, which is a gel manicure, a builder gel overlay or Gel-X extensions, then add the design tier that matches your idea. If it is your first time, send your inspiration photos through the inspo page first so the right tier gets booked before you arrive.
Which design tier should I book?
Send the photo if you are not sure and Nerissa will tell you. As a rough guide, french tips, dots and stripes are Tier 1. Line work, cat-eye, marble and chrome on a few nails are Tier 2. Raised 3D gel, chrome and charms across the whole set are Tier 3. Hand-drawn characters and detailed 3D scenes are Tier 4.
I am wearing nails from another salon. Can I still book?
Yes. Add the first-time removal to your booking and it gets taken off here, from $15 depending on how thick the product is and what was used. If you have had a set done here before, removal is free and you can add it the same way.
