2026 Nail Salon
Lady Lavka
Nail enthusiasts, from Philaqueens to your IRL glam friend, will happily take you down a TikTok rabbit hole explaining the difference between a regular mani and a Russian one. Lady Lavka has the latter — which involves meticulous cuticle work and builder gel, and which is oh so fashionable right now — down pat. You may have to build your life around snagging an appointment, and don’t expect a particularly quick or relaxing experience (one step requires the use of a nail drill). But that’s kind of the point: Perfection requires patience.
