About

Hi, I'm May

I do every set myself, one client at a time, so you never feel rushed. I'll show you what I'm doing as I go and I won't move on until you're happy.

Chat with me while I work, or sit back and relax. Either way, you leave with nails you love.

“I have seen May twice now and I am so thankful I found her. She does such beautiful work and genuinely cares about making sure her clients are happy with their nails. Her attention to detail is incredible, and you can really tell how creative and passionate she is about what she does. Her studio is also super cute and welcoming, and I never feel rushed during my appointments. Honestly, I’ve never had anyone do my nails as well as she has. I absolutely love her designs and enjoy chatting with her while I’m there. Something I especially appreciate is that she truly cares about nail health. She has given me great advice on which options best protect my nails, which shows how much she values her clients beyond just the final look. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“May's studio transports you to a calming and peaceful oasis. I had a bad experience at another salon and she worked her magic and gave me the most beautiful and relaxing gel mani & gel pedi! She even talked me through each step and made she I was happy before she continued. I've received numerous compliments on my nail art. She is truly one of a kind and very talented. May made the experience very relaxing and I left refreshed. I'm so happy I found my new nail tech!”

“May is truly the best! I started coming to her at the recommendation of my sister, and I’m so glad I did. May provides a high quality, affordable manicure that lasts weeks. Along with that, she is so fun to chat with - such a personable experience. I get so many compliments on my nails, I can’t recommend her enough!”

“I went to Cloud Nail Studio for the first time and would definitely recommend it! May did an amazing job with my nails, replicating the inspo picture I brought and adding her own unique spin. She was lovely to chat with and created such a relaxing environment. I am absolutely obsessed with my nails. Thanks May!”

“May is so sweet and talented! She was so detail oriented when she did my design, it looked identical to the picture! She really takes her time to make sure that you are 100% happy and I SO appreciated that. She did both my gel pedi and SNS mani for a super reasonable price”
