Our Approach

How Nail Care Works at Atelier Anaiis

All care at the Atelier follows a structured process.

This approach allows nails to strengthen, stabilize, and improve steadily over time.

1.

Services are determined through assessment, not selection.

2.

Nail health and structure always come first.

3.

Aesthetic expression is layered in thoughtfully, when appropriate.

Begin Application
  • Atelier Anaiis is located in Old City. The address to our calm, greenery-filled Philadelphia nail salon is 122 N 3rd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

  • We started Atelier Anaiis after a decade plus of healing clients’ natural nails from the damage caused by thirty minute manicures they’d been receiving elsewhere for years.

    The value that we provide through the work at our Philadelphia nail salon is centered around the healthiest possible gel manicure practices that prioritize the natural nail care and nail health.

    This is done primarily through the service we call the Deep Clean Manicure and meticulous preparation of the natural nails prior to the application of gel polish.

    To accomplish these two aspects of our gel manicures carefully and up to the standards that we set so that our clients’ natural nails can heal, we require the time that we specify for every appointment.

  • Our Philadelphia nail salon is by-appointment-only. While we understand that this could be frustrating if you happen to be in Old City just for the day or have a nail emergency, our number one priority is our clients’ nail health—being by-appointment-only allows us to be best prepared, so that you can get the most out of our services.

  • We do not provide pedicure services for new clients at our Philadelphia nail salon.

  • We exclusively serve gel manicures at our Philadelphia nail salon, creating an environment free of toxic fumes. We do not carry regular nail polish, acrylic powders, or dip powder.

    To learn more about why, we invite you to read our blog post, The Protective Power of Gel Manicures: Why Our Old City Nail Salon Serves Gel Manicures Only.
