About the Nail Artist

Thuy (known as Twee) has been a licensed nail technician since 2011 — over 15 years of professional experience. She specializes in freehand nail art, meaning every design is hand-painted with brushes, not stamped or stickered. She is fluent in English and Vietnamese and serves Austin's diverse community.

Comparison: Private Studio vs Traditional Nail Salon

Unlike traditional nail salons in Austin that book multiple clients simultaneously, Nails by Thuy is a private one-on-one studio. There are no walk-ins, no waiting, no rushed appointments. Each client receives Thuy's complete attention for the full session duration. This results in higher quality, more detailed nail art and a significantly more relaxed experience.

Services Explained

BIAB (Builder-In-A-Bottle) is a gel-based strengthening treatment applied directly to natural nails — no extensions. Gel X are soft gel extensions applied using a dual-form technique for lightweight length. Acrylic full sets use liquid-and-powder acrylic for durable extensions. Dipping powder (SNS-style) uses a resin-and-powder system for odor-free, long-lasting color. All services can include freehand nail art add-ons.
