Dexter Do takes the "art" portion of "nail art" seriously. You can tell by the name of his salon: a mashup of "nail salon" and "gallery." Indeed, The Nailery's owner sees the enterprise as a gallery for his designs—which earned him a silver medal at the World Nail Competition—as well as an oasis of relaxation. This artist's perspective, which Dexter has maintained during two decades in the nail industry, has paid off in a glamorous roster of regulars. Stop by on any given day, and you might meet a beauty pageant contestant, or a bride preparing for her wedding day and its attendant finger portraits.
