Restorative Nail Care • STAR-NT Pedicures • Private Studio
Specializing in difficult toenails, ingrowns & hard-to-manage nail and skin concerns.
Welcome to a private nail care studio focused on restoring nail and foot health through careful, intentional work.
This is not a fast-paced salon. Appointments are structured to allow the time needed for intentional, detail-focused care — so you can relax while your nails and skin are cared for with precision and respect.
Every service is tailored to the individual, with a strong focus on comfort, long-term results, and an intentional, detail-oriented approach to technique.
Many clients come here after feeling rushed or uncomfortable elsewhere — or after struggling to find help for nail and skin concerns that haven’t improved.
You will never be judged here. Care is always gentle, respectful, and focused on long-term improvement.
Restorative Pedicure Expertise
The STAR-NT Pedicure is one of the most requested services in the studio, designed for clients who need more detailed care than a typical salon provides.
Since May 2025, Tina has completed 400+ STAR-NT pedicures, helping clients improve the condition of their nails and feet through consistent, restorative care.
This service focuses on:
-
thick or difficult toenails
-
ingrown or painful nails
-
nails that are lifting, discolored, or changing
-
dry, callused, peeling, or hard-to-manage skin
All work is performed within scope, with a focus on comfort, safety, and visible improvement over time.

Natural Nail Health Focus
The studio has intentionally stepped away from acrylic and artificial nail services.
The focus is now on:
-
healthy natural nails
-
restorative manicures and pedicures
-
thoughtful nail and skin care
-
regular and gel polish options
Services are designed to support the long-term health and appearance of your nails and skin — not just a temporary result.
Reiki Add-On Experience
For those looking to deepen relaxation, a 15-minute Reiki session can be added to your appointment.
This quiet, restorative add-on is often described as the most relaxing part of the visit — leaving both body and mind noticeably calmer.
Many clients choose to include it as part of their regular care.
A Better Experience
If you value care over speed, you’re in the right place.
Book your appointment and experience nail care designed for comfort, results, and long-term improvement.

What Our Clients Say
Sandra Carleton
Tina was welcoming as soon as I walked in. I have had fungus on some of my toes that wouldn’t go away with many MONTHS of daily treatment with OTC products. I’m glad I made the decision to schedule a STAR NT pedicure. After 1 visit they already look so much better. I will be returning for a follow up next month. I highly recommend her services as she is thorough, answered my questions and shared a lot of helpful information.
For me, Chakras represents well-being — and that’s what I want for everyone who walks through my door. ~Tina
Chakras is pronounced SHAH-krahs.
Why that name? It goes back to before I ever stepped into nail school. I was introduced to Reiki first, and chakras are the energetic centers of who we are. That concept carried real meaning for me from the beginning.
I explored other names, but I kept coming back to this one. Every time.
​
What are chakras?
This is a very simplified explanation of something that’s actually quite complex. The word chakra comes from Sanskrit and means “wheel” or “disk.” Chakras are energy centers within the body.
You can think of them as spinning wheels of energy that help regulate balance — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
There are seven main chakras, running from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. Each one is associated with specific organs, emotions, and aspects of life.
Every chakra also corresponds with a major gland or system within the endocrine system, which controls hormones, mood, growth, metabolism, and more. It’s a clear example of how energy and physical health are deeply connected — not separate systems, but intertwined ones.
