<p>Square has been so successful that it recently expanded into the salon next door, Atelier by Square Salon, that specializes in hair.</p>

About 20 minutes off the Strip is this oasis that offers nail, hair, skin, and makeup services for a relaxing and luxurious experience. Winner of the 2012 NAHA design award, Square prides itself on being the ultimate destination for beauty in the Las Vegas area.   

<p>There&rsquo;s no separation between nail and hair stations so clients can move freely from one service to the next.</p>

> Natural nail manicures and pedicures are still the nail department’s best sellers. Techs offer everything from gels and acrylics to nail art and gel toes. Since this is a Las Vegas-based salon, Light Elegance glitter gel is a popular upsell for pedicures.

<p>Square carries a variety of polish brands including OPI, Essie, IBD, Orly, and Morgan Taylor. Gel-polish brands include OPI, Gelish, and IBD.</p>

> Six nail techs work at the salon. Each has her own table and there are two pedicure chairs as well.

<p>A curtain is in place to divide the pedicure area if it makes a client feel more comfortable.</p>

> The only nail product currently retailed at Square is the upscale Smith & Cult line. Retail items from various salon departments make up the entire front wall of the salon.
