Select a category below to find quick answers about your Earth Nail Spa experience.

Do you offer dip powder services?

We specialize in builder gel and Gel-X rather than dip powder — they deliver comparable durability and strength while staying lighter and healthier for your natural nails. Unlike dip powder, which needs a full soak-off, builder gel can be safely refined and rebalanced at each appointment, so it’s significantly less damaging over time. And if you’re transitioning away from dip, we do still remove it.

Are traditional acrylic nails available?

We specialize exclusively in modern, flexible gel systems — builder gel and Gel-X — rather than traditional acrylics, which keeps our commitment to nail health and a fume-free environment for every guest. If you’re transitioning away from acrylics, we do still remove them.

What add-ons are available, and why is the nail art simplified?

We offer Nail Art (cat eye, chrome, simple designs) and French as add-ons. Chrome and magnetic designs require a gel finish. Current pricing and timing for both are on the Services menu. Our services are designed to be consistently high-quality for all members — by focusing on clean, simple finishes rather than complex nail art, we keep quality high and make it easy for members to book anytime. See the Services menu

What enhancement options are available?

We offer Nail Art (cat eye, chrome, simple designs) and French as add-ons. You will find current pricing for both on the Services menu. See the Services menu

Could you describe the cat eye effect?

Cat eye is a sophisticated magnetic gel technique that produces a shimmering, multidimensional finish. By using specialized metallic particles and a precision magnet, our technicians create elegant reflective lines and velvet-like effects.

Why do you use non-jet pedicure basins?

Your safety comes first. We use non-jet basins because they’re the gold standard in sanitation — they eliminate the bacterial risks that come with internal jet systems. Every basin is thoroughly disinfected after each use.

Does the $129 monthly membership include extensions, such as Gel-X or dip?

Yes — your membership includes all standard manicure and pedicure services, Gel-X extensions among them. Dip powder isn’t a service we offer, and you’ll find the full list of what’s included at earthnailspa.com/services.

Are there different tiers or levels of manicures and pedicures included in the membership? If I want specialty designs or styles, is there additional pricing?

All manicure and pedicure services listed on our menu are fully included with your membership. Add-ons — Nail Art and French — are the only services not included; you will find their current pricing on the Services menu. We maintain this focused offering to ensure consistent quality and ease of booking for all our members. One note on your total: a 20% gratuity is applied at checkout on the menu price of your services, and 100% of it goes to your nail artist. If anything about your service isn’t right, tell us at checkout before you leave — we’ll make it right, including that visit’s gratuity. See the Services menu

Are specialized nail shapes included in the service?

Our standard services include a variety of elegant shaping options, including Almond, Coffin, Oval, Square, and Squoval, at no additional cost.

Are removal services provided as part of the membership?

Yes. The professional removal of gel polish, builder gel, Gel-X, dip powder, and traditional acrylics is fully included as a courtesy to our members.

Are junior services included in the membership?

Children’s manicures and pedicures aren’t on our current menu, so there are no junior services included in the membership.

Can I freeze my membership?

Yes. Once you have completed one full monthly draft, you may freeze your membership for a $10 monthly fee. During this time, you may still use the Serenity Room — including Hydrowave Massage Therapy and Red & Blue Light Therapy — at no additional cost. Upon unfreezing, you will be charged your regular monthly membership rate, the same price you originally enrolled at. See our Membership Policies for full freeze and unfreeze details.

How do I freeze or cancel my membership?

To manage your membership, go to your Profile in the Earth app. Your membership appears there under Membership, with buttons to change its status or cancel it. If those options aren’t showing up for you, reach out through ourGet In Touch page. Cancellations, freezes and refunds are all handled in the app or through that form, rather than at the front desk. For more details click here: Membership Policies

Does the membership renew automatically?

For your convenience, memberships automatically renew on the first of each month. See Membership Policies

Is there a long-term contractual commitment?

There’s no long-term contract — membership is month to month. You’re free to cancel or freeze, as long as you let us know by the last day of the month before the draft. See Membership Policies

Can the front desk process freezes, cancellations, or refunds?

Membership changes and refund concerns are handled online rather than at the front desk — through the contact form on our website, or the chat in our app. See Membership Policies

What should I do if I have a billing issue?

Please reach out through our Get In Touch page, and our Guest Services team will review it.

Can I transfer my membership to someone else?

Your membership stays with you — it isn’t transferable, and it covers your own services. If you’d like to treat someone, you can gift them a membership of their own, set up in their name in the app. For more details click here: Membership Policies

How can I buy a membership for another person?

You can! Set it up in their name using their first and last name, phone number, and email address, then purchase the membership through our app or website.

Why can’t I book an appointment?

We completely understand how frustrating this is. Demand is high and our current members book quickly, and while Addison is our only open location, availability stays limited. We’re actively expanding capacity — adding more technicians and opening additional locations. The availability you see online is exactly what our front desk sees, so there are no extra appointments held back; the app shows you everything that’s open. The best way in is the daily waitlist — add yourself and you’ll be notified the moment a spot opens.

Do you accept walk-ins?

We’re not taking walk-ins right now, since demand keeps the book full. Appointments are reserved for members and are typically booked well in advance. See Appointment Policies

What should I do if I can’t find a same-day appointment?

The surest way to catch a last-minute opening is to add yourself to our daily waitlist in the app or website and checking frequently for cancellations. Openings are released to everyone on the waitlist at the same time, first come, first served. See Appointment Policies

What is the policy for appointment cancellations and rescheduling?

You can cancel or reschedule any time up to 48 hours before your appointment, at no charge. Inside 48 hours, a $25 fee applies per base service — one fee for each manicure or pedicure booked.

How does the daily waitlist function?

Our waitlist runs on a daily basis. To give yourself the best shot at a spot, you can create customized entries in the app for multiple days. When an opening becomes available, everyone on the waitlist is notified at the same time. Openings are first come, first served — the first guest to book the slot gets it, so we recommend booking as soon as you see the notification. See Appointment Policies

Can I get a manicure and pedicure during the same visit?

Certainly. We can take care of both in one visit — they’re performed one after the other rather than at the same time, so the quality and the calm both hold up. Worth knowing: each service holds its own spot on the schedule, so booking a manicure and a pedicure together uses both of your two appointment slots.

What if I am running late?

We allow a 10-minute grace period. If you arrive within 10 minutes of your appointment time, we will do our best to modify your services so we can accommodate you within the remaining appointment window. There is no fee for arriving late on its own. If we are not able to accommodate you in the time remaining and the appointment has to be cancelled, the $25 cancellation fee per base service applies.

How many appointments can I book in advance?

You can keep up to two appointments on the schedule at a time. Each service holds its own spot, so a manicure and a pedicure booked together use both. See Appointment Policies

What can I do in the Earth Nail Spa app?

Almost everything — your membership lives in the app.

  • Appointments: book, choose your technician, change or reschedule, cancel, let us know if you’re running late, join or leave the daily waitlist, and see your past appointments.
  • Membership: sign up, freeze, unfreeze, or cancel.
  • Billing: pay a past-due balance, update your credit card, and view all of your transactions.

Membership changes — freezes, cancellations and refunds — are handled in the app, not at the front desk. Download the app →

Is the 20% gratuity required?

A 20% gratuity is applied at checkout, and 100% of it goes to your nail artist. It is calculated on the menu price of the services in your appointment that day, including services included with your membership.

If anything about your service isn’t right, tell us at checkout before you leave. We’ll take care of it, including removing that visit’s gratuity. See our Appointment Policies for the full details.

Can I use my membership at more than one location?

Yes. Your membership works at every Earth Nail Spa location. As we open new studios, you can book and be seen at any of them with the same membership, subject to availability at that location.

See our Locations page for where we are today and what is coming, or our Membership Policies for the full details.

Are you closed on any holidays?

Yes. Earth closes for seven days each year: New Year’s Day, Easter, the 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day. The rest of the year you will find us on our regular schedule.

You can see our current hours for any date on our Google listing.
