About
Nails x Nicole is a nail studio based in Victoria, BC, founded on creativity, attention to detail, and self-expression.
As a solo nail technician, I prioritize quality over quantity. Every appointment is one-on-one, allowing me to fully listen to your ideas, customize designs, and make sure you leave with nails that feel like you.
Whether you’re looking for something clean and minimal or bold and detailed, my goal is to create nails that elevate your style and make you feel your best. Every set is created with intention, care, and a focus on helping clients feel confident, celebrated, and uniquely themselves.
At Nails x Nicole, nails are more than just beauty; they are a reflection of your individuality.

The Story
Attending a private school where uniforms erased individuality, nails became my form of self-expression. Whether classic French tips for school or short neutrals for rugby, each set changed with the seasons, moving in rhythm with my world.
Since salons weren’t affordable to a teenager working part-time, I began teaching myself at home, devouring tutorials online and practicing relentlessly on my own nails. Friends became my first clients, and nail sessions became moments of pause between exams and busy schedules.
Over time, nails became more than just a personal outlet; they became a way to empower others. Today, Nails x Nicole transforms nails into something personal, expressive, and an extension of identity. That same passion for self-expression is at the heart of every set I create.
