"LOVE ALEX!!! I have had a terrible time finding a talented nail tech & artist in Missoula. I have bounced around, but now I am set. My hands take a lot of abuse and just when I think they're going to be good, things go bad. Not with Alex!!!"

Frequently Asked Nail Questions

How can I maintain healthy nails?

To keep your nails healthy, stay hydrated, avoid harsh chemicals, and use proper nail filing techniques. Regularly moisturizing your cuticles and nails can also help. Visit me in downtown Missoula for personalized advice on maintaining beautiful and strong nails.

What should I do if I have a nail infection or fungus?

If you suspect a nail infection or fungus, look for signs like discoloration, thickening, or crumbling nails. It’s crucial to seek professional medical advice to get proper treatment. In Missoula, I can guide you on the next steps to take for effective care and getting your nails back in shape.

How can I prevent nail damage from gel or acrylic nail applications?

Nail damage is often caused by peeling off gel or acrylic nail treatments, not by the frequency of their application. To maintain healthy nails, avoid picking or peeling and always opt for proper removal techniques. Additionally, strengthen your nails with nourishing treatments and avoid using them as tools.

How often should I get a manicure or pedicure?

The ideal frequency for manicures and pedicures varies based on your nail health and personal preferences. Typically, a manicure every 2-4 weeks and a pedicure every 4-6 weeks can help keep your nails looking their best. My Missoula clients often find this schedule works well for maintaining their nail health and appearance.

How long will my manicure/pedicure last?

The longevity of your manicure or pedicure depends on the type of service and how well you care for your nails. Gel manicures typically last 2-3 weeks, while regular manicures may last up to a week. The Nail Witchery provides tips and high-quality services to help extend the life of your nail treatments.

What is included in your wet gel pedicure?

My signature wet gel pedicure includes a relaxing foot massage, a soothing salt soak, a sugar scrub for exfoliation, a callous exfoliator, a detoxifying mud mask, and a custom gel nail polish application. This comprehensive salon pedicure experience is designed to rejuvenate your feet and leave your nails looking fabulous.

Does The Nail Witchery Offer ManiPedis?

Yes! While I don't actively list a manicure-pedicure combo package, my nail and pedicure clients often combine services into one appointment (check my social media for special offers). Check my availability on the Booking Page to book your mani-pedi salon experience today.

Are your products and tools sanitized?

Yes, with all my skin, nail, and beauty services, I adhere to strict sanitation procedures. All tools are sterilized before each use, and I use high-quality, hygienic products to ensure a clean and safe environment for every client.

Can I customize my manicure or pedicure experience?

Absolutely! I offer a range of customization options for your manicure or pedicure, including choosing specific nail polish colors, unique nail art designs, and additional treatments like paraffin wax or hand and foot massages. My salon booth is all about creating a personalized experience that matches your style and needs.

How do I book an appointment?

Booking an appointment is easy! You can schedule your visit online, by calling my Missoula salon, or by stopping by in person at Fabrik Salon downtown. I strive to make the process as convenient as possible for my clients.

What is your cancellation policy?

I ask for at least 24-hour notice for cancellations to avoid a fee. Canceling in less than 24 hours will require 50% of the scheduled services. This policy helps me accommodate other clients and manage my nail business effectively. If you need to reschedule, please contact me promptly.

What is your policy on late arrivals?

If you arrive late, I will do my best to accommodate you. However, late arrivals may result in a shortened service time or rescheduling, depending on the schedule. Please try to arrive on time to ensure you receive the full service. If you anticipate being more than 15 minutes late, kindly contact me to discuss rescheduling. This allows us to manage the day's schedule effectively, ensuring the best possible experience for all our clients. Your punctuality helps me provide an exceptional experience for every client, and it’s truly appreciated.

What payment methods do you accept?

I accept various payment methods, including cash, credit/debit cards, and digital payments, Venmo, for your convenience.
