Think before you book
Schedule your fate
Booking runs through Booksy, which handles the calendar, deposits and reminders. Here's how to do it right the first time, so the only surprise is how good they look.
Send your inspo
Upload your reference photos on the Inspo page (or DM @evil_with_elegance). Nerissa replies with the right design tier so you book the correct time.
Pick the base service
Gel manicure ($45), builder gel overlay ($65) or Gel-X extensions ($75). Pedicures and combos are on the menu.
Add the design tier
Tier 1 Simple ($15+) to Tier 4 Complex ($60+). Add cat-eye or chrome as an add-on if it's part of the look.
Add a removal if you're wearing product
Free for returning clients, from $15 for another salon's work. Adding it reserves the time; skipping it shortens your design time.
Confirm and show up
Booksy sends reminders. Come with clean, dry nails, your photos, and a podcast if the set is a long one. The chair is comfortable and the company is good.

Questions first?
How much does it cost to get your nails done at Evil With Elegance?
A gel manicure is $45, builder gel overlay $65 and Gel-X extensions $75. Nail art is added 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 there are no surprises at the end.
How do I book?
Everything is booked through Booksy. Pick your base service (gel manicure, builder gel or Gel-X), add the design tier that matches your idea, and add a removal if you're wearing product. First-time clients: send your inspiration photos through the Inspo page so the right tier is booked before you arrive.
Which design tier should I book?
If you're not sure, send the photo. Rough guide: French tips, dots and stripes are Tier 1; line work, cat-eye, marble and isolated chrome are Tier 2; 3D gel, chrome and charms on every nail are Tier 3; characters and intricate 3D scenes are Tier 4. Nerissa will confirm the tier when she sees your inspo.
How long do Gel-X nails last?
Three to four weeks for most people, with the right prep and aftercare. Structured gel on natural nails is usually refilled every three to four weeks too. Removal is free for returning clients; just add it to the booking.
