I’m Nora Nguyen, and I’ve been working in the nail industry for more than seven years. Over that time, I’ve had the chance to work at many different salons across St. Louis — each with its own strengths, but also with things I knew could be improved.
That journey inspired me to create Nou Nail Bar: a place where every detail matters, and where you feel as comfortable as if you were sitting in your own living room. Imagine picking up a favorite book, listening to music you love, and simply relaxing while our talented nail artists take care of your hands and feet.
At Nou, I want you to feel at ease the moment you walk in. Imagine stepping into a living room designed just for relaxation: modern décor, soft lighting, thoughtful design details, and music that helps you unwind. You can settle into a cozy chair, flip through a book, or simply close your eyes — while our talented nail technicians care for your hands and feet with skill and attention.
I’ve always believed that getting your nails done should be more than a quick service. It should be a ritual of self-care, where you not only leave with beautiful nails but also with a sense of calm and renewal.
Another cornerstone of our philosophy is safety and hygiene. I’ve seen how overlooked this can be in some places, and I wanted Nou Nail Bar to be different. Every tool we use is thoroughly sterilized, every station is cleaned before and after each client, and our products are carefully chosen to be safe for your skin and nails.
To me, beauty should never come at the expense of health. When you sit in our chairs, you can have complete peace of mind that you are being cared for with the highest standards.
Our nail artists aren’t just technicians — they’re creative professionals who bring passion to their craft. Whether you’re here for a classic manicure, a relaxing pedicure, or something more intricate, we approach every service with artistry and detail.
We also take time to listen. Each client is unique, with different styles, preferences, and needs. At Nou, we personalize your experience so that your nails reflect not only beauty but also your individuality.
For me, Nou Nail Bar is not just about manicures and pedicures. It’s about creating a moment of pause in your busy life - a chance to breathe, to reset, and to leave feeling renewed.
My promise is simple: every detail at Nou, from the design of our space to the care in our service, exists to make you feel valued.
