Perfect Nails By Thu

Perfect Nails by Thu – Essex Junction, VT

Tucked inside the Marketplace shopping center in Essex Junction, Perfect Nails by Thu has been part of Vermont’s nail care scene for over twenty years. Founded and still personally led by Thu, the salon has developed a reputation for thoughtful service and carefully chosen products. Regulars know this spot not just for its convenience—right off Pearl Street with plenty of parking—but also for its steady focus on quality. A quick scroll through their Instagram shows why: clean nail lines, seasonal color collections, and a mix of natural and bold designs that reflect current 2025 nail trends.

The menu covers all the essentials: classic manicures and pedicures, gel polish, powder dips, and restorative nail treatments. What sets them apart is their emphasis on organic and skin-friendly options. Thu has hand-selected every product line they carry, favoring safer polishes and gentle spa systems. Dip powder continues to be one of their most requested services, while gel manicures dominate for clients who want lasting shine. Their pedicures often incorporate organic scrubs and lotions, giving a more spa-like feel compared to a standard nail bar.

Inside, the atmosphere is polished but unpretentious. The space feels bright and calming, with comfortable seating that makes longer services easier to enjoy. Clients consistently mention the cleanliness—disposable liners, sterilized tools, and a tidy setup every time. Appointments can be booked online or by phone, though weekday mornings are often the best time to avoid a wait.

In the local community, Perfect Nails by Thu has become something of a fixture. Many clients have been loyal for years, praising both the quality of the work and the welcoming feel of the team. Their social media highlights new seasonal designs and occasional promotions, while reviews on Google and Facebook consistently call out Thu herself for her precision and warmth. For those in Chittenden County seeking reliable nail care with a personal touch, this salon remains a trusted favorite.
