OUR TEAM
No toxins. No guilt. Just ritual. Hex Riot is not your typical nail salon—it’s a rebellion against harsh chemicals, rushed services, & surface-level self-care. Founded with the intention of creating a cleaner, more intentional experience, Hex Riot is an odor-free, earth-conscious nail & scalp spa specializing in gel nails, natural haircare, & elevated rituals that prioritize both your health & your vibe. We believe self-care should feel grounding, indulgent, & a little bit magical. Hex Riot is also a space for connection. We’re building a community rooted in creativity, authenticity, & a touch of rebellion—where you can show up exactly as you are. This is beauty, reimagined. This is ritual over routine. This is Hex Riot. Arrival Instructions Please arrive at your scheduled appointment time (not early).

By scheduling an appointment, you agree to the following: Appointments & Cancellations A valid card is required to book.

If you bring someone with you, they will be asked to remain in the lobby until your appointment is complete. Phone Etiquette To preserve the quality of your service & the experience of others, please keep phones on silent & limit usage.

Messages sent outside of these hours will be addressed during the next business day. Timing & Consideration We ask that you do not arrive early unless specifically instructed. Our team relies on the time between appointments to reset the space & prepare for your service. After-Hours Appointments Services extending beyond standard hours are subject to a $25 after-hours fee. Late-day bookings requiring additional time (including detailed nail art) will automatically incur this charge. *By booking a late appointment you acknowledge & accept this fee if service runs into after-hours.
