About Us

Creative flair and aesthetic beauty, meeting health and wellness

The story of a boutique nail studio that grew into a full day spa, without ever losing the artistry at its heart.

Our story

Originails Salon & Spa started with gel nail enhancements and a variety of manicures and pedicures. In 2008 we expanded to our current Hales Corners location and grew well beyond nail care into full spa treatments.

Today we offer therapeutic massage by a licensed therapist and skin treatments by licensed estheticians. Renovations added two spacious, state-of-the-art treatment rooms, a professional makeup and skin consultation area, and a quiet lounge for the ultimate spa experience.

Through it all, one thing has stayed the same: a welcoming spirit that makes you feel right at home, and the unbelievable, award-winning, hand-painted nail art we have become known for.
