A Shade Darker

A neighborhood nail salon in Syracuse with a loyal following, A Shade Darker stands out for its skilled nail artists, particularly Rylee and Tiffany, who excel at detailed nail art and family-friendly service. While the spa interior could use updating, technicians like Ashton deliver impressive work with specialty finishes like tortoiseshell and themed designs (Star Wars). The salon offers both basic and artistic services, from quick gel manicures to elaborate hand-painted designs. Particularly noteworthy is their kid-friendly approach, with techs going above and beyond to accommodate young clients during mommy-and-me pedicures.
