Our Studio

A private suite, not a storefront

Tucked inside Sola Salon Studios at 7188 Avenida Encinas in Carlsbad, Nails by Tina is a single-technician studio built around one idea: your appointment should feel like it, not a shift shared across a full salon floor.

Every visit is appointment-only and one-on-one — no rotating techs, no rushing to turn the next chair. It's a small, highly personalized experience from the moment you book to the moment you leave with a finished set.

The Solo Suite Difference

Why clients choose a private studio

  1. One technician, one client.

    No shared floor, no split attention — your appointment is the only one happening in the room.

  2. Appointment-only, by design.

    Every slot is reserved ahead of time, so there's no rushing, no overbooked chairs, and no waiting room.

  3. A personalized experience.

    From the color consult to the final coat, the whole visit is built around what you actually asked for.

"Just you, your tech, and your nails."

Inside Sola Salon Studios, Nails by Tina operates as an independent, solo-technician suite — the same personal-studio model professionals across the country use to offer a calmer, more private alternative to a full-floor salon.
