Unfortunately, I cannot send personal updates when I have a cancellation or gap in my schedule.
However, if you'd like to be notified of an opening on a day I'm working you can add yourself to the waitlist thru online booking. To do this, select your preferred service and preferred date and tap the "Join Our Waitlist" button at the bottom of the booking screen. I will be automatically notified if an opening becomes available that matches your request.
You can book an appointment online using Mangomint 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
I accept payment via most major credit/debit cards using Square. I do not accept cash or Venmo.
I do not. Great nails take time and the length of my appointments do not work well with offering walk-ins.
Yes! You can Purchase A Gift Card Online through Mangomint.

There is free public on-street parking out front on Bishop St and on State St. Please adhere to posted signs regarding zone 3 parking restrictions (further down Bishop St!) Please do not park in the lot next to the building as that is for residents upstairs, not our customers.
Max estimated appointment times are listed when you schedule an appointment. Appointments rarely run longer than this estimate.
I do not. I achieve the look of acrylic nail extensions without all the dust and smell by using Apres Nails Gel-X gel nail extensions. Refinery29 has A Great Article that answers just about any questions you may have about the Gel X system!
I do not. I achieve the same (or better!) longevity and structure using my japanese gel manicuring process.
Apres Gel-X or Kokoist Gelip gel extensions are pre-formed gel tips that cover your entire nail bed and adhere using gel. Because they don't just sit at the tip of your nails (like acrylic or hard gel extensions) they tend to have a stronger nail structure and are less prone to breaking. Both systems come with various sizes and shapes of tips that allow you to customize your mani to your liking.

We have a passion for nail art and don't currently offer pedicures—if there is enough interest perhaps we will in the future!
Because we aim to do nail art at every appointment, we do not offer a lower price for single color manicures. A single-color manicure would be booked as a gel manicure + basic nail art.
How long your manicure lasts depends on how rough you are on your hands. Nails are jewels—not tools! We suggest our clients book their next appointment in 2-3 weeks for best results.
Nails chipping or breaking shortly after your appointment are rare and become increasingly possible the longer you go between appointments. If your nail chips, breaks, smudges, or needs repair within 24 hours of your appointment—email me to book a complimentary nail fix. If your nail chips or is lifting inbetween appointments and you'd like to know if you should move your next appointment to a sooner date, text me a photo and I'll let you know what I suggest!
