Hello, this is TRAN THI NGOC, owner of NA nail salon.

Guests sometimes ask whether the result changes depending on who does their nails.

We keep our technical standards aligned across the team, but each technician has a different strength. Here is who does what, in case it helps when requesting someone specific.

TRAN THI NGOC — Owner / Nail Technician

Strengths: Korean nail, One-Hong nail, gradient, french

I opened this salon because I wanted to make people’s days a little brighter through nails they love.

I mainly handle Korean and One-Hong designs, along with foundational work like gradients and french tips. I speak both Japanese and Vietnamese, so consultations in Vietnamese are very welcome.

My nomination fee is ¥800 (tax included). There is more on my owner profile.

Kanna Matsuda — Nail Technician

Strengths: gel nail, long-lasting application

Frequently requested by name, and most often praised for how long her sets last.

Even with an identical design, how carefully the preparation is done changes the lifespan. She is a strong choice if your hands are often in water, or if longevity has been a problem for you in the past.

Mio Hideshima — Nail Technician

Strengths: One-Hong nail, Korean designs

Attentive service, with One-Hong and Korean designs as her specialism.

She is flexible with reference photos and good at suggesting the one adjustment that makes a design suit you better. A good fit if you have not settled on an idea yet.

Yuka Niwa — Nail Technician

Strengths: attentive service

Often requested by returning guests.

She reads the pace you want from a conversation and matches it, which works well if you would rather relax quietly. A natural fit with our fully private treatment space.

Miyu Takahashi — Nail Technician

Strengths: Korean nail, careful application

Korean designs with close attention to detail.

Well suited to guests who care about the exact placement of small art and parts, and who want to take their time over an unlimited art-and-parts course.

Requesting a technician

Requesting someone specific is optional. Without a request, whoever has availability that day will take care of you.

If you do want someone in particular, tell us the name when you book.

• Nomination fee for the owner (TRAN THI NGOC): ¥800 (tax included)
• All other technicians: no nomination fee

Popular technicians and weekend slots fill up quickly, so contact us early if your dates are fixed.

If you cannot decide

The most reliable approach is to send a photo of the design you want.

We can look at the direction and suggest who is best suited to it. Send it with your booking message or by DM on Instagram.

What the whole team shares

The strengths differ, but everyone works to the same principles:

• Assess the condition of your nails before proposing an approach
• Welcome designs you bring in yourself
• Use para-gel and fill-in to limit strain on your nails

Looking after your nails so you can keep enjoying them is the policy across the salon. We explain para-gel and fill-in in this article.
