Nichols Hills, Oklahoma City
A nail salon Nichols Hills keeps coming back to
Designers Plus sits just up N. May Ave from Nichols Hills, inside North Park Mall. It is a short, easy drive — and for many of our Nichols Hills clients, a standing appointment they have kept for ten years or more.
What our Nichols Hills guests tell us they were looking for is simple and surprisingly hard to find: a clean room, a technician who remembers their nail shape, and a service that is never rushed. That is what we have built since 1996.
Gel manicures that last through the week. Spa pedicures with real massage time. Hand-painted nail art for weddings, holidays, OU game days and everything in between. And, when a mother or grandmother needs it, a slower, gentler service with a steady arm to help in and out of the chair.
Free parking at the door, an indoor entrance out of the Oklahoma weather, and shops and restaurants around us for the rest of your afternoon.

Clients who keep coming back
Some of these families have been sitting in our chairs for more than a decade — and they still leave smiling at their hands.
“I have been coming here for more than twelve years. They know my hands, they know my name, and my nails have never once looked rushed.”
Marilyn K.Client since 2013 · Nichols Hills“My mother is 84 and very particular. They are patient, gentle and never make her feel hurried. That is worth everything to our family.”
Denise R.Quail Creek“Cleanest salon I have found in OKC, and the nail art is genuinely artistry. I drive past three other salons to get here.”
Ashley T.The Village“I am 79 and my hands shake a little. They hold them steady, warm the water just right and talk with me the whole time. I leave feeling looked after, not just done.”
Barbara J.Client since 2011 · Casady area“My pedicure here is the one hour of the month that is entirely mine. Fifteen years with the same wonderful people and my feet have never been happier.”
Patricia S.Client since 2010 · Nichols Hills“I get compliments on my nails everywhere I go. Everyone asks where I had them done and I love telling them — the shape and the color are perfect every single time.”
Kimberly W.Quail Creek“Came in for a cut and color before my daughter's wedding and stayed for a manicure. I have never felt more taken care of. I teared up a little at the mirror.”
Sandra L.Edmond“Dad is in a wheelchair and they make room for him without a fuss, every time. Kind people who treat older folks with real dignity.”
Michael R.The Village“Builder gel changed everything for my weak nails. Three months in and not a single break, and they explained every step so I actually understood it.”
Angela P.North OKC“I am 81 years old and I have never left this salon unhappy. My hands look ten years younger than the rest of me and they always laugh with me about it.”
Joyce M.Client since 2009 · Nichols Hills“Seventeen years, same chair, same sweet ladies. They remember my grandchildren's names. That is not something you can buy at a big chain salon.”
Nancy H.Client since 2008 · Quail Creek“My arthritis makes a manicure uncomfortable most places. Here they warm my hands first and go slow, and honestly it is the best part of my week.”
Ruth A.Client since 2015 · The Village“I take my mother every other Friday and we both get pampered. She is 88 and raves about her polish to everyone at her church.”
Cheryl D.Nichols Hills“I walked out grinning like a schoolgirl. Deep burgundy, perfectly shaped, and the girls clapped when I showed them off. Seventy-one years old and I have never loved my hands more.”
Eleanor B.Client since 2016 · Nichols Hills“Mom and I make a morning of it — two pedicures, side by side, laughing the whole time. It has become our favorite thing we do together.”
Rosemary & KateMother and daughter · Quail Creek“A soft natural pink that actually flatters my skin tone — they took the time to find it instead of handing me a chart. I felt genuinely seen.”
Yvonne C.North OKC“Best gel manicure in Oklahoma City, hands down. Almond shape, glassy shine, three full weeks with no chips. I could not stop looking at them.”
Hannah D.The Village“My technician holds my hands in hers and warms them before she starts. At 86, that small kindness means more to me than the polish does.”
Dorothy F.Client since 2012 · Casady area“Coffee, kind conversation and nails that look expensive. I bring my sister, my neighbor, everyone. This place feels like family now.”
