ACRYLIC
Need no introduction - however we can't ignore the harmful effects of acrylic. With that said, we have healthier alternatives to achieve the same look as acrylic. but still offer acrylic for our clients who prefers it because at the end of the day, it comes down to preference. Gel polish is included in our acrylic services.
DIP
Nails are dipped into powder - can dry in minutes and don't require UV light to cure. Dip powder are also less damaging to natural nails than acrylic. Though it's not necessary to apply a gel top coat to dip nails, it will allow nails to dry quicker and it leave nails shinier. With that said - Gel top coat is available upon request for no additional charge.
HARD GEL
Sometimes also refer to as builder gel, hard gel is flexible and buildable. It is cured under UV and sometimes could have a burning sensation. All in all, it is similar to acrylic, but is a healthier alternative for your nails. Hard gel is recommended for weak or brittle nails because of its durability. Gel polish is included in our hard gel services.
T.A.P HYBRID GEL
A revolutionary new gel that embodies the best of hard gel and acrylic, but at the same time, it is more durable than hard gel and less damaging than acrylic. THG is odorless, strong, flexible, lightweight, and has an unsurpassed natural feeling. This is perfect for anyone looking for more lightweight and natural looking nails that won't break. Also, because THG uses a non wipe top gel sealer, the nails will remain shinny and scratch resistant for up to 4 weeks.
APRES GEL X
Has been said to be the lovechild of acrylic extensions and press-on nails. The artificial nail is applied to your entire nail bed vs just the tip. We have many lengths and shapes to choose from. These last longer than all other artificial nails and are nearly impossible to break. These will also be the best option if you're picky with shape or just picky in general because the nails are pre shaped and pre sized. Gel polish is included in our gel x services

Ombre
Just like ombre hair, ombre nails are where a colour gradient is used and a lighter color seamlessly blends into a darker one. You can literally customize these how you want, using bold hues, muted tones, glitters and matt polishes. French ombre is a popular and classic option.
Cat Eye
This look involves a diagonal line drawn directly through the middle of your nail, and much like actual cat eyes, the lines vary. The cat eye nails made by everyone are not the same. Some lines are straight and some are curved. The end result should resemble a cat's eye.

Hi everyone!
My name is Jenny and I am the new owner of Nails & Spa by Bobbie, now renamed Serene Nail Bar. We have quite the history - We opened our first salon on Scottsdale Rd and Indian School with huge success. A year later, our building was purchased by the Marriott, so we were forced to move. If you drive by there today, you will see our sign is still up! We ended up moving to Scottsdale Rd and Oak. I sold that salon in June 2025 and purchased Bobbie's a week later. This will be my third Serene Nail Bar ALSO on Scottsdale Rd (and Shea) and I'm hoping third time's a charm!
