First appointment: focused repair
The program begins with a complete removal and a nail detox so the technician can access the natural plate and assess damage. During this initial 90-minute session (priced at $149) we apply an intensive strengthening repair system designed to target compromised, brittle, or weakened nails and create a stable base for growth.
After the repair system is applied, your technician will explain the structured application that follows and recommend simple at-home steps to support the process. This visit establishes the protective structure and a timeline for growth so the second appointment can focus on progress without repeating full removal.
Second-visit progress and maintenance
Your return visit, scheduled for 2–3 weeks later and priced at $99, focuses on assessing new growth and preserving the repaired structure. Instead of full removal, the treatment uses targeted rebalancing to maintain integrity and address lifting, uneven edges, or weak tips while keeping the original repair intact.
This approach reduces repeated trauma to the nail plate while allowing your technician to reinforce structure where needed. The goal of the follow-up is measurable progress and a continued protective layer that supports natural growth without compromising the earlier repair work.
Scheduling and local convenience
Studio Chique serves Washington, DC's Langdon neighborhood and nearby areas including Brookland, College Park, and the Rhode Island Avenue corridor. We offer flexible early-morning and evening booking options for commuters and parents, and convenient appointment times around Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood and Brookland-CUA Metro travel patterns.
Local climate and lifestyle shape how we advise clients: humid summers and seasonal routines can affect nail wear, so we coordinate follow-ups around your schedule and suggest visit timing that fits work commutes or weekend plans near the U.S. National Arboretum or Union Market.
