Always cruelty-free, and almost always vegan and organic—that's what sets the services and products at Mint Nails Spa & Studio apart. That means nail techs wield lacquer products by Misa Cosmetics, which are vegan and five-free (free from the known carcinogens of formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate, toluene, camphor, and formaldehyde resin).

The spa and studio never use animal-tested products and guests can feel especially great getting eco-friendly upscale services. For example, they use pipeless bowls for pedicures, which conserve water and have liners that are recycled after each use. And when they leave, Mint will send them a receipt via email, text, or smoke signal in order to save paper.
