Who We Are
We’re Waterless
The average pedicure uses 13 gallons of water, so we vote no to H20. This is better for the planet and your nails! When soaked, your nails absorb water and bacteria that causes the, to expand – and polish will not adhere to a wet, soft nail.
Cleanliness
We pride ourselves on running an extremely clean shop, and we take sanitation seriously. Our non-glass files + mini buffers are one-time-use, 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:
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 10-free (or more), meaning they don’t contain what’s 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.
