small studio, big ideas.

Welcome to The Sixth House — an independent nail studio doing things differently. We keep our overhead low so we can pass the savings on to you, offering top-tier services at prices that won’t break your budget. Our techs keep 100% of what they earn, which means no shady commission cuts or franchise markups — just honest work, fair pay, and beautiful nails. 

what we do

A Russian manicure is like a regular manicure’s cooler, more intense cousin who studied abroad and came back with secrets. It’s all about dry technique and e-file precision—think surgical cuticle cleanup. No soaking, no fluff, just absurdly clean nail beds and a finish so crisp it could cut glass. It’s not for the faint of heart, but neither is looking that put-together. Did we mention it lasts forever?

She’s coming in hot- like the Aries she is. Karla fell down a Russian manicure rabbit hole and came out wielding an e-fie like a wand. Now she’s your go-to for cuticles so clean it’s borderline witchcraft, and shaping skills that earned her the title Shaping Master (not self-proclaimed but she’s not mad about it).

A Midwest Emo enthusiast with a soft spot for sad bangers, she’s also an aspiring DJ who will hijack the aux and your heart. Somewhere between buffing nails and lighting intention candles, she’s allegedly pursing a degree. Exes say she’s a Sour Patch Kid: sour, sweet, gone- usually before the polish dries. instagram @manicurist_karla

Deanna didn’t set out to become a nail tech—she just got laid off during a global pandemic and got hypnotized by Russian manicure videos on TikTok. At the time, she’d never even polished a nail, but something about those impossibly clean cuticles and tiny drill bits whispered, this could be fun... or at least weird enough to try.

Fast-forward: she’s 29, licensed, and elbow-deep in e-files— with two kids, two cats, a dog, and a stubborn refusal to be boring. She’s got a fondness for movies, music, and anyone brave enough to go for a sharp square shape.
