Gel, acrylic or polygel: which set is right for your hands?
The honest differences in strength, feel, cost and removal — and how May decides at the table.
ReadTamarac, FL · Nails & Dominican hair
Nails, worn like jewelry.
Twenty-one years of nail art by May and her team — gel, acrylic, polygel, spa pedicures and Dominican blowouts, with a coffee in your hand. Book in two taps on Booksy.
From the moment you walk in, you feel completely taken care of. They even offer coffee, wine and little snacks so you can truly unwind. Estefania S. · Google review, 2025
The salon
A salon that feels like family.
May Art is a women-owned, Latino-owned salon on State Road 7 in Tamarac, run by Mayerling — May to everyone — a nail artist with 21 years behind the table. Her team does nails, spa pedicures and Dominican-style hair under one roof, in English and Spanish.
The details are the point: a coffee (or a tea with crackers) the moment you sit down, water at the temperature you like, and nails shaped for your hands — not a template. Clients say the same thing in review after review: they came for the nails and stayed for the people.

FAQ
Good to know before you sit down.
Booking, refills, which set to choose, parking. Anything else — WhatsApp us.
Ask on WhatsApp01Do I need an appointment?
Appointments are recommended — the salon fills up, especially Fridays and Saturdays. Book on Booksy and you get a confirmation and reminders by text. Walk-ins are welcome whenever there’s a free chair.
02How do I book?
Tap “Book on Booksy”, choose your service, pick your technician and a time. Changes are allowed up to 1 hour before your visit; late cancellations and no-shows may be charged a fee under Booksy’s cancellation policy.
03When should I refill my acrylics?
Every 2–3 weeks keeps the set strong and the regrowth invisible. Refills are priced by time since your last visit: 2 weeks $60, 3 weeks $70, 4 weeks or more $75.
04Gel, acrylic, polygel or rubber base?
Gel manicure ($40) is color on your natural nail. Rubber base ($55) adds strength to natural nails that peel or bend. Acrylic ($65) and polygel ($70) are sculpted extensions: acrylic is the classic hard set, polygel is lighter and more flexible. Ask May at the table — she’ll look at your nails first.

Yes. Dominican-style blow dry, haircuts, roots and full color, highlights, ombré and balayage, keratin treatments and tape-in, micro-ring or micro-weft extensions — with Naye.
06Do you wax men?
Yes — just say so when you book. Men’s hair type is different and the price may vary.
07How can I pay?
Cash, credit and debit cards, and tap to pay (Apple Pay / Google Pay).
08Where do I park?
