I have been going to Mai for 2 years now and I look forward to my appointment every time! She is so knowledgeable when it comes to nail health and is willing to educate. She even has her clients take a nail break about twice a year to maintain healthy nails! I used to be an SNS girlie through and through because the gel I’ve tried in the past would never last longer than a week. With her attention to detail and quality of supplies/equipment she has turned me on to Gel polish for good! I love being able to bring her any design idea and she makes it work!Finally, she keeps her space clean, making sure all clients feel safe.

Mai is incredible! I’ve used her for years now and she’s the only one I trust with my nails. Not only is she a talented artist, making all of my fun nail designs to life, but she is super professional and particular about her clean space. She cares about the health of your nails, uses quality products and gives the best manicure I’ve had. Orlando is lucky to have her!!

I was referred to Mai when I moved to the Orlando area 3 years ago. I always leave my appointment feeling so ecstatic with my beautiful mani/pedi. Mai is very detail oriented, a sweetheart and so much fun to chat with. Love that I can always count on her to help me decide on colors and fun nail art. I have always been pretty basic with my nails and since I started going to Mai I have branched out with having unique nails. She is truly the best! 🤍 Her space is very clean and she makes you feel comfortable. Be sure to schedule an appointment with her, thank me later 😊

If you haven’t had your nails done by Mai, what are you waiting for! Mai has been doing my nails for over a year now and she never disappoints! If you’re obsessed with Japanese/Korean nail art, Mai is your girl! She is detail oriented and meticulous with her work to ensure perfection! She always finds a way to spice up my go to designs and I always get compliments where ever I go! Her salon is spotless so I’ve never had concerns about cleanliness. Not only is she incredibly talented, she is also thoughtful, kind and sweet! She has become a good friend of mine that I look forward to seeing and catching up with!

Mai is an exceptional nail artist who brought my vision to life with incredible skill and creativity. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and she ensures every aspect of the nail design is perfect. The atmosphere in her salon is welcoming and relaxing, making the entire experience delightful. Not only did she listen to my ideas, but she also offered expert suggestions that enhanced the final look. The result was a stunning set of nails that lasted for weeks without any chipping or fading. Mai’s professionalism and artistic talent make her a top choice for anyone looking for a high-quality nail service

I got an Apres Gel X set from Mai and I am in LOVE with them! It’s my first time trying these gel extensions and my nails and hands look so pretty. Make sure to make an appointment in advance. She is a solo nail artist and is located in Winter Park.

I was lucky enough to be introduced to Mai to get my nails done for a wedding and ever since then I wouldn’t trust anyone else for my nails. She is truly talented in the nail art world and is always willing to work with me to finding the perfect nail design for any ocassion. Because her location is near the heart of winter park I do recommend coming 15-20 mins before your appointment to go searching for a parking spot. Definitely recommend her for any of your nail needs!

I have been going to Mai for 3 years now and is hands down the best nail artist! She does amazing nail art and I have never left this place being unhappy with a manicure or pedicure. If you have something in mind she can recreate it on your nails. She is appointment based only and you will feel secure; especially during the pandemic!

Mai is amazing! Best nail artist in Orlando! I am a nail biter, so when I first started coming to her a couple of years ago my nails were brittle, short, and my cuticles were very dry and damaged. She has made such a difference in the health of my nails! They are now long and strong! She is very creative and can accommodate any design request! We have great conversations and it’s always a great experience! Book with her- you won’t be disappointed!!!

I will start by acknowledging that I do not care to write reviews whether my experience is good or bad. However, Mai (The Nail Atelier) has provided an experience that Ive never had anywhere else. Some companies CLAIM they care about your business but she undoubtedly SHOWS it. I love her creativity and how it inspires my nail designs/color schemes.

Review 11 (2023-01-08 - Rating: 5)
Have been going to Mai for four years - the best! Punctual, fun, takes pride in her work, and strives to provide a great experience!

The Nail Atelier is cozy and clean. Mai has a great aesthetic and was fun to talk to. I got a custom gel manicure for my cousins destination wedding, and it turned out gorgeous.

Your nails are in great hands with The Nail Atelier! Mais meticulous designs are always creative and never basic! She encourages healthy nails with the use of top notch products, including her own line, The Sawlted Company nail care products.

Review 14 (2020-11-05 - Rating: 5)
Mai is the best! I’ve been following her to every nail salon she’s moved to until she established the nail atelier. I am a true client of hers since day 1! That just shows how great her services are, super professional & personable to ensure customer satisfaction. She takes her time & has the best nail products. Her studio is clean 100% and sanitized after every visit. If you’re looking for someone whose going to take their time & provide you with an excellent experience, this is the place to go. She does gel, full sets, manicures, pedicures, and nail art! It’s her expertise.

I absolutely love Mai! She is a true artist and she is very personable. Mai does amazing nails and her creativity and design is so unique. If you can imagine it she can make it!

I was introduced to Mai 5 years ago and I’ve never gone anywhere else since. Her nail art design work is incredible and her customer service is top tier! She’s in the heart of Winter Park with individual studio service and by appointment only. Book your gel manicure now!

Mai is just the best! Not only is she an amazing and talented nail artist, but shes also a wonderful person! I always looked forward to my appointments with her. I always got complimented on my nails, whether they were just a simple color or elaborate nail designs. I highly, highly, highly recommend seeing her (shes appointment only) and cant wait to see her when I visit FL!

Mai is amazing!! I have been a client for 3+ years and have never been disappointed. Mai is a true artist and has a keen eye for all things beautiful when it comes to nails. She is always on time, her workspace is always super clean, and she is always very professional. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable nail salon in the Orlando/Central Florida area.

Review 19 (2024-01-07 - Rating: 5)
Other than being a master of her craft, getting my nails done is always a joy. Mai’s attention to detail, creativity and overall service is top tier. I love that my nails are always well done, healthy and I’m always happy with the end product. Thank you.

Mai goes above and beyond to make sure your nails look impeccable. She is so creative and talented! Her salon is clean and beautiful, and she has an incredible selection of both colors and designs to choose from. Mai is so kind and flexible, and was able to work with my hectic schedule. I will definitely be back!

I’ve been going to Mai since 2019 and she’s an amazing nail artist. Quality work, great service and such a professional. Highly recommend her.

Review 22 (2017-11-27 - Rating: 5)
I love this cute shop! I’ve been going to Mai since she was at the You Nails salon and have always loved her style. She can do just about any style. She can do anything from abstract to texture to even the most amazing freehand art. She goes above and beyond to make sure I can still get my nails done with my crazy work schedule!!! Love her!!

Review 23 (2019-03-19 - Rating: 5)
Mai is amazing!!!! Her eye for detail and creativity is ridiculously rare. I come to her for the slayage of my nails every 2weeks and she never disappoints. I recommend everyone to come here, as if she pays me to do so😆😆(she doesnt lol) She is definitely appointment based so I make sure I book her as soon as Im done with my appointments. So if I were you I would book now to not miss out on bomb nails!!

Mai has been taking care of my family and I for over a year now. She is a very talented artist who does amazing nail art and has created her own studio space! I highly recommend her to anyone who is visiting Florida or currently lives in the Windermere/Orlando area for a manicure or any pedicure needs! Her space and work is clean and neat she adds a wonderful personal touch/takes her time on each client.

Review 25 (2018-12-08 - Rating: 5)
Mai is awesome. I found her on Instagram and booked an appointment with her. She is appointment based only and I was lucky to get in while I was on vacation in Orlando. There are many gel colors to choose from and she does really beautiful nail art. I will definitely come back to see her next time I am in town.

Review 26 (2017-11-16 - Rating: 5)
AMAZING. I used to do my own nails for years becuase I could not find anyone who did a good job. I am happy to say that I have finally found the most amazing nail artist and I havent done my own nails since. Not only is she attentive to her clients needs, shes creative, sophisticated and is awesome to get along with. Mai is the absolute best and I am so glad that I have found someone who takes ultimate pride in their craft. She is really the best. I guarantee you wont be disappointed and will be obsessed with the awesome job she does!!! ❤❤

Review 27 (2017-11-28 - Rating: 5)
Mai can do just about any design or style you want for your nails. Whether it’s an one color manicure or an elaborate design you found online, she’s the best person to go to in Orlando! Her prices are very reasonable and she has the best personality as well. Definitely give her place a shot, you won’t regret it!

Review 28 (2018-01-22 - Rating: 5)
I can’t say enough about Mai. She’s extremely talented and knowledgeable about nail and cuticle health. I had an injury to my nail bed on one of my fingers and she has been so attentive to helping make sure my nails are back to being healthy and beautiful. She pays attention to detail and my manicure lasts and doesn’t chip. She uses high quality products and is very clean and professional. You won’t be disappointed!

Review 29 (2018-05-26 - Rating: 5)
Mai is awesome. She’s been doing my nails for a couple of years now & I love her. She pays very close attention to your nails and is a perfectionist! She’s down to earth and when you go to her it’s honestly a girls day lol. You can go there and unwind with no problem and you never feel rushed it’s great. She’s very humble and is super talented she uses high end products that won’t damage your nails. My nails always look amazing and the pedicures are wonderful as well. She’s became my life long friend and nail tech.

Review 30 (2018-08-12 - Rating: 5)
Mai is amazing. So pleasant and kind, always a pleasure to talk to. And her work is fantastic. I HAD TO follow her here when she opened this place up for herself. Shes the best nail technician - no, nail ARTIST - Ive ever had the privilege of being a client for. I cant recommend her enough.

Review 31 (2019-09-02 - Rating: 5)
Mai is THE BEST. Seriously, Ive been having my nails done by her since she was in Michigan!! Ive followed her to Windermere whenever Im in town for Disney. She is appointment based and you must book in advance. But what I love about Mai is that she is SOO meticulous about modern nail art and cuticle nail care. She does her manicures dry and with an e-file to minimize clipping the cuticle. Plus, I get from her a vial of cuticle oil that has fricken SAVED my hands. Thank you always, Mai!!!!!!! ❤💅

Review 32 (2018-04-22 - Rating: 5)
My gel manicure never lasted more than 4 days before I met Mai.. Her main goal is to keep your nails healthy and that is rarely seen.. Its definitely a plus that its like girl time with Mai.. She is skilled, friendly and witty. Love her!

Review 33 (2017-10-25 - Rating: 5)
If i could give this place 5 million stars i would! Mai is the best. Her nail skills are on point, whether you just want something plain or a really ornate design. Shes the best in Orlando, takes her time and is super clean! I recommend her to ALL of my friends and theyre just as pleased as I am.

Review 34 (2018-04-14 - Rating: 5)
The Nail Atelier is my favorite place to get my nails done. The atmosphere is calming and relaxing with the super personalized attention you get from Mai. You can get anything from a basic manicure to any design you’d like. If you are indecisive like me, Mai works with you to to design a unique mani that you like best. It’s definitely the best (and it’s super clean)!!!

Review 35 (2017-12-18 - Rating: 5)
I found Mai several months ago when I needed a nail fix, the day after I had them done at my last place. She is truly an artist. No matter how extreme I want to go with my nails, it is NEVER too difficult for her.... I leave with gorgeous (comment receiving) fingernails, matched only by my great looking toes! Five stars just isn’t enough!

Review 36 (2019-02-18 - Rating: 5)
Best nail salon ever!!!! Mai is just THE best! dont go anywhere else! She is so meticulous in her work and she takes her time to make it perfect and she will NOT damage your nails she cares that your nail stays healthy. Book in advance !!! Thank you so much Mai!Isabelle L

The Nail Atelier is a cozy salon in the heart of Windermere. Parking is usually very easy to find right in front. Mai makes appointments by text messaging. Its best to book in advance as she is popular for good reason. She knows how to discuss nail colors in depth and is good about reading what I want when Im not even sure about what I want. She is meticulous and provides the most perfect mani and pedis that last. She is never rushed but yet is always right on schedule. I bring family here for nail care when they visit and everyone walks away impressed with their manis and pedis by Mai.

Review 38 (2017-12-20 - Rating: 5)
Super cute salon! So many colors to choose from and she is able to create so many different designs! Definitely going back!

Review 39 (2023-03-02 - Rating: 5)
Absolutely the best!! I’ve been with her since 2016 in Dr Phillips and only with her ever since. She’s truly an artist and an experience with a personal touch every time you visit. 5 stars is not enough for her.

Review 40 (2021-04-09 - Rating: 5)
Quality is really the difference here. She’s not just good at what she does, she is passionate and it and her clients. She invests in your nail health, listens to your asks and pays attention to your personality. I’ve not never had a bad experience here, but more importantly she’s never done anything just because. You can truly trust that she will execute your vision.

Mai is the best! My nails always look great and have become so healthy on top of it! I wouldnt go anywhere else.

Mai does amazing work. She is incredibly meticulous. I’ve never had a bad experience in the five years I’ve been her client. She works by appointment only.

Review 43 (2021-03-16 - Rating: 5)
Point of Difference...let’s start here! I am sure that I speak for all of us. Attention to detail, creativity and passion are 3 things that set The Nail Atalier apart from the rest. Her genuine concern for clients far exceeds the expectation. If you are seeking an experience that is intimate and safe, look no further.

Mai is truly one of THE best! I love love love my nails when I leave and I love them even more as the days pass☺️ I find myself admiring them constantly throughout the day! 💅🏽She is so creative and down to earth. I can hardly wait for my next appointment to see what we will create😁 She truly cares about the health of your natural nails. A true artist! Her salon atmosphere is warm, clean, and cute and I absolutely love the one on one personal service…among a list of other things this sets her apart from everyone else! I relocated over 1 year ago, tried a few others, but just never fully satisfied (it’s the details and clean up for me!) Mai hit every point! My first appointment, she free handed a beautiful white gel on my toes, with little to no clean up! Get in, if you can! No more “basic biiii” nails for meeee❣️ ❣️
