Spruce Nail Shop

Spruce Nail Shop is a women-owned nail and skincare salon with two locations in Cincinnati, Ohio: one in the Findlay Market neighborhood and one in Walnut Hills. Services include manicures (including waterless options), pedicures (including waterless options), gel polish, nail art across multiple tiers, Gel-X extensions, a repair manicure for nails recovering from acrylics or dip powder, and specialty add-ons such as hot stone massage and an Ecofin paraffin-free hydrating treatment. Skincare services including facials, waxing, and tinting are available at the Findlay Market location. Mobile and in-home services are also offered.

All polishes used at Spruce are at minimum 5-free, meaning they are free from formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, DBP, camphor, and toluene, and the salon also avoids TPHP. Polishes are vegan, cruelty-free, and gluten-free. The salon does not offer traditional acrylics, SNS, or dip powder services, and will not remove them either. Only LED gel lamps are used, not UV lights. The salon uses a house line of lotions, sugar scrub, and a jojoba-based cuticle serum for nail services, and estheticians use Botnia and Naturopathica products for skincare services. Sanitation practices are described as hospital-grade, with all implements sterilized and single-use items used for anything that cannot be sterilized. Spruce is a Green Circle Salon partner and was certified carbon neutral in 2023. The website does not specify whether accommodations are made for clients with chemical sensitivities or whether fragrance-free options are available.
