Why I do nails

Ivy Lin

Founder & nail artist

I’m Ivy Lin, the founder and nail artist behind Ivy Vibe. I’ve loved art since childhood and graduated from UC Irvine with a degree in art. Painting, photography, ceramics and nail art are all ways I enjoy creating.

Doing nails feels like working in a new medium. There’s a lot to explore in such a small space: color, line, texture. I enjoy the challenge and keep trying new techniques to see what else I can make.

I also love working through ideas with a client and turning them into a finished set. Seeing you happy with your nails is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.

What we care about

  1. 01

    One guest at a time

    The studio is appointment only, so your visit is yours alone — no waiting, no crowded tables.

  2. 02

    Talk it through first

    Share a reference photo or two if you can. If you haven’t decided, we can work out a style together or you can leave the design to Ivy. We’ll agree on the design, timing and price before starting.

  3. 03

    Care where it doesn’t show

    Basic nail prep is part of every service. A clean foundation means cleaner color that lasts longer.

  4. 04

    Lasting over trending

    We help you choose colors and shapes that suit your hands, not just whatever is popular this month.

The space

The studio is a quiet, safe space. Hygiene matters here, and we disinfect between every guest. For privacy, we send the exact address privately once your appointment is confirmed.
