What Tier 3 includes
Tier 3 Designs is an add-on that delivers intricate, highly customized nail art to personalize your set. It covers detailed patterns, hand-painted accents, and multi-element looks designed to sit on top of an existing manicure or full nail set. The outcome is a striking, individualized finish chosen with your input and the technician’s skill.
Clients come for the level of detail: layered glitter, encapsulated accents, three-dimensional flowers, rhinestones and small charms are examples technicians regularly execute when requested. Because this is a high-detail add-on, technicians take extra time on each nail to match symmetry, placement and texture so the finished set reads as a cohesive, wearable design.
How the design process works
Every Tier 3 appointment starts with a short consultation to confirm colors, reference images and placement. The add-on itself is scheduled for 45 minutes and priced at $45; that time is dedicated to the artistry and is added to whichever base manicure or set you choose. Technicians discuss scale and durability before starting so the design fits your nails and lifestyle.
Because the work is detail-oriented, booking earlier is recommended during our busiest months of October through December when festive designs are in demand. We offer evening and weekend slots to accommodate commuters and shift workers returning from I-5 or San Diego, and we recommend arriving with reference photos or saved Instagram/Pinterest images to speed the consultation.
Choosing and maintaining designs
Bring visual references or describe an occasion—clients often bring Pinterest or Instagram images and technicians routinely reproduce or adapt those looks for each client’s nail shape and length. Staff will suggest adjustments so complex elements sit properly on shorter nails or different shapes. The salon’s clean, calm environment helps technicians focus on exacting detail without rushing the process.
Many customers report that detailed designs hold up well with normal wear and that shapes and thickness are carefully matched for comfort. Longevity depends on the underlying service and daily habits; customers have noted polished designs lasting three-plus weeks. Plan routine fills or touch-up appointments if you want to maintain highly detailed elements long term.
