Hello, Beautiful!
 
I can’t tell you how often I’ve looked down at my nails and felt that familiar frustration creeping in. My natural nails tend to be weak and brittle, and let’s be honest—biweekly salon visits just don’t fit into my busy lifestyle anymore. Quality manicures are time-consuming and have become quite pricey. More often than not, I leave the salon feeling underwhelmed, only to watch my manicure chip or break within days.
 
In my quest for a solution, I rediscovered press-on nails and was amazed by how much they’ve evolved over the last decade. I was thrilled to know that my days of wasting hours in the salon were finally behind me.
 
However, I quickly found that many options still felt tacky and impractical—poor shapes and flashy designs that missed the mark of the chic, elevated vibe I was after. Too often, the nails felt flimsy, looked artificial, or popped off at the most inconvenient times.
 
Through this journey, I learned that I wasn’t alone. Many women share the same desire for beautiful nails that don’t break the bank or take up valuable time.
 
That’s why I’m so excited to introduce S/ALT Nails.
 
Short for The Salon Alternative™, S/ALT Nails is a curated collection of premium, salon-grade press-on nails that are not only stunning but also practical and long-lasting. Our collection features timeless shapes like oval, almond, and squoval in wearable lengths. Each style is thoughtfully designed to look natural and is perfect for both everyday wear and special occasions. We’ve sourced the highest-quality materials, including medical-grade glue, ensuring that our press-on manicures are durable, waterproof, and non-damaging.
 
After 15 years in fashion and e-commerce—with the support of my partner in both business and life—I’m proud to present The Salon Alternative™. This high-quality beauty staple allows you to reclaim the time and money often wasted on salon visits.
 
I truly hope you love our products as much as we do.
 
All my best,
Krystina
