Who We Are

 

We’re Waterless

The average pedicure uses 13 gallons of water, so we vote no to H20. Our waterless services are better for the planet and your nails too! Did you know that your nails are porous – like a sponge? When soaked, they absorb water and bacteria that causes the nail to expand – and polish will not adhere to a wet, soft nail.

Infinite Cleanliness

We pride ourselves on running an extremely clean shop, and we take sanitation seriously. Our non-glass files + mini buffers are one-use only, and we use ultrasonic cleaners before moving on to hospital grade sterilization (an autoclave) to clean all of our stainless steel tools.

Natural Nails Only

Healthy nails are our number one priority. We believe using non-toxic polishes, non-toxic dip powder and soft gels is the gentlest way to achieve your healthiest and best looking nails. It also creates a safer environment for our staff and guests:

We want you to breathe easy.

The Best Brands

At Azalea City we care about your health and the health of our staff. We carry polishes that are non-toxic and as clean as possible. What does that mean? It means that our polishes are free of 8 (or more) toxic ingredients* found in conventional nail polish.

*toluene, dibutyl phthalate (DBP), formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, camphor, triphenyl phosphate (TPHP), ethyl tosylamid, and xylene. Google those at your own risk.

Our Ethos

Azalea City Nails is woman-owned, and we support woman-owned businesses across the polish lines that we carry. We’re committed to fair wages + work life balance for our employees, and we subscribe to non-toxic across the board. We believe that Black Lives Matter and that LGTBQIA rights are Human rights, and we’re proud to be part of the Takoma Park, MD small business community.
