Raising the (nail) bar.
It’s our mission to handle the heavy-lifting of quality standards so our clients can relax and enjoy the act of self-care in trusted hands.
How do we do this?
By grounding everything we do in our three pillars: clean products, ethical labor practices, and exceptional hygienics.
Our services put you in touch with clean products and healthy practices for optimal nail health.
Our polish and gels are vegan, cruelty-free and ranked 8 toxin-free or better. We practice gentle gel removal (no e-files) to keep your nails healthy.
Our signature soak, scrub, balm and cuticle oil have been custom formulated to feature clean, nourishing ingredients for optimal nail health - eliminating harsh chemicals, dyes & fragrances.
We don’t offer acrylic or dip; eliminating toxic dust and fumes.
Our safe practices extend to the air you breathe.
A fresh air ventilation system & acetone absorbing plants further purify your experience, eliminating up to 50% of chemical fumes
We don’t use electronic files so you don’t have to deal with toxic dust
Ethical Labor Practices
The same safe practices that benefit and protect you are also in place for our technicians. Service providers have high exposure to the products they work with and therefore are most at risk when using toxic and harmful chemicals.
We’re dedicated to providing our employees with an encouraging, team-based environment that is respectful of their dignity and wellbeing. To overcome common malpractices in the industry and create sustainable careers, we provide our team with ethical wages and continued education.
Exceptional Hygenics
Our hygienic standards are the bedrock.
We practice hospital-grade sterilization of our nail tools in a pressurized steam autoclave. Anything that can’t be disinfected (like files and buffers) are single-use and disposed of after your service.
We have pipeless foot baths - intentionally sans jets to uphold the highest standards of hygiene. By eliminating water recirculation, we can thoroughly disinfect for each guest using hospital-grade disinfectant. Our disinfectant is non-toxic and biodegradable while maintaining its EPA-registered disinfection power.
Sustainability
Sustainable environmental practices are important to us, that’s why we’ve partnered with Chemwise to recycle old and unused nail polish. Chemwise recycles the glass, plastic caps and brushes of polish bottles, ensuring that polish and any remaining chemicals don’t seep into our sensitive waterways.
Our Story
Springtide is about self-care. The more we care for ourselves, the more centered, aligned and powerfully we can show up in our lives to meet the moment.
I set out to create a service experience that puts our guest’s wellbeing at the center - from reliable hygienics and nurturing services to fun amenities like nail art and a menu of botanical teas. Through years of research, I discovered the detrimental health effects that chemicals from standard nail care products can pose to workers, as well as the widespread presence of unethical labor practices in the industry. This lead to a clean formulation mandate and a team culture of inclusivity, respect and continued education in the workplace.
I hope that our commitment to doing things differently holds space for you to relax, unwind and leave Springtide feeling a little more rested, cared for and fabulous.
