Nail salon, Art studio, Artist in Raleigh, NC
Thi Nail Studio is a private, appointment-only nail studio located at 187 Wind Chime Court in Raleigh, run as an intimate, one-on-one salon space rather than a walk-in nail shop. The studio specializes in BIAB builder hard gel and Gel-X soft gel extensions, along with gel strengthening overlays for clients with extra-short or short natural nails who want added durability without extra length, and gel manicures for returning clients that include a hot towel and oil finish. Nail art is offered in tiers, from simple French tips and single-color chrome, holographic, or glitter accents up through intricate hand-painted flames, marbling, and ombre, all the way to a fully custom "Artist's Choice" set where clients hand over creative control of color, shape, and design within their budget. The studio also offers permanent jewelry services using 14-karat gold-filled chain, including welded-on bracelets, necklaces, anklets, rings, and hand and feet chains, each backed by a repair policy for accidental jump-ring breaks. New clients are asked to submit photos of their current nails and desired look before booking, and the studio offers a distinctive silent or on-call appointment option for clients who are anxious, tired, or simply want a quiet, conversation-free session. Appointments open a year in advance, weekend slots carry a $20 surcharge, and clients can join a waitlist or cancellation list by messaging the studio's Instagram, reflecting a small, personal operation built around a single nail artist's schedule and craft.
