From the runway to the red carpet, animal print is always in, which is why Tina Van at Nail Gloss Salon has developed a special expertise in hand-painted animal prints. With tortoise shell, snakeskin, butterfly wings, and other nature-inspired looks in her portfolio, Van is the queen of the animal (nail) kingdom. Van says she wants her clients to βexpect the highest level of sanitation from each nail tech,β which in practice means tables that are spread 6 feet apart, barriers between artists and clients, and face coverings required for artists and clients alike.

Enhancing the existing features of natural nails, the French manicure is the most commonly recognized and requested design.

Itβs so versatile.β Villareal urges clients to book appointments as far in advance as possible, as many salons are already booked for months.
