Olivia

Nail Salon

Olivia is a new, modern, and the first eco-conscious and organic nail salon in Baltimore, located at Upper Fells Point, founded by two Towson University Graduates, Chin/China Lama & Malati Lama. While in school, Malati got an opportunity to work at T.Rowe Price and Johns Hopkins. Being in a nail industry for a long time in the neighborhood, they both decided to bring a new change in a neighborhood for a nail salon. Hence, they decided to implement their knowledge they gain through education and work experience in their modern look of nail salon. The familiarity with the area, support, and love from their clients from past 8 years gave them to have a nice and sweet move.

Sanitation is top priority in Olivia. Anything that can’t be sanitized are either disposed or for you take at home (buffer & nail file). Olivia uses organic products for custom manicures and pedicures; and also carries 5-free chemicals (Regular and Gel Polishes) from popular brands, which are favorable for all and most importantly for pregnant moms and kids. These polishes nourish your nails and also protect from dehydration, weakening, and staining. Read more

    I love Olivia and will never go anywhere else. I have been for manicures and/or pedicures about 10 times by now and I am always so pleased with my experience. It is very clean (both the supplies and the salon itself), the decor is minimalist and lovely, and the staff are all very friendly. I am always offered a bottle of water when I sit down. The regular manicures last me from 5-7 days before they start to chip, which is NEVER the case for me anywhere else.

    My hubby and I were needing a much needed mani/pedi before our flight back to SF. They were extremely accommodating and treated us very well. We were offered water and they even suggested a few nice places to visit before we left. Thank you for the hospitality and wonderful customer service! We definitely look forward to coming here again when we're in the area.

    My daughter had a pedi/mani on Friday that is just BEAUTIFUL. She said her attendant spent so much time on each of her nails making sure that each was perfect. My daughter competed in her state pageant this weekend and placed 4th runner up Queen's Court! She received a gel with french on her fingers and toes which cost $85, but so far seems to be worth EVERY penny because it still looks newly polished after 5 days, multiple showers, and lots of hair product. We eat only organically and believe in caring for the planet, and only use organic and natural body care products. So awesome to have an organic salon! So awesome that I'm not afraid to have my daughter's nails done. She stopped wearing polish after reading about the effects of acetone on the body. She loves girly girl and was really upset. Olivia's solved that problem. Thanks!

    Malti is wonderful. I followed her from the salon where she worked previously, before opening Olivia. Her gel manicures last the longest, and she's very detail-oriented. Olivia is beautiful and comfortable, and conveniently located. Slightly more expensive than the last place I went to, but overall worth it.

    Amazing experience! Very happy I have finally found a great nail salon in Baltimore. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. I felt welcomed and respected. I received a mani/pedi with Ti and it was literally perfect. She is very detail oriented and takes her work seriously. I cannot wait to return!
