The newly opened nail salon, The Nail Cottage, is located at 6864 N.W.169 Street near Miami Lakes. The inviting salon features a wall of nail polish from OPI, Essie, and many others and on the other wall a quote from Coco Chanel “A girl should be two things - classy and fabulous.”

The girls and women who frequent The Nail Cottage are privy to such classiness with extremely clean areas and offers of water, coffee or wine along with cheese and crackers.  

The Nail Cottage owner, Ivette Perez, transformed her hobby into a full-time business venture after spending many years working alongside her husband at his construction company. 

“What’s different about The Nail Cottage is our service,” said Perez. “We offer great service to our clients at an affordable price and this is a place of relaxation. The music is low, there are chandeliers above. It’s a very relaxing atmosphere.” 

Among the services offered are manicures-pedicures done as a combination or individually, waxing, and gel manicures-pedicures. Walk-ins are welcome but appointments are preferred. To make an appointment call 786-360-5759.
