Huntsville's insider guide to exceptional nails.

Huntsville's nail scene runs on Rocket City money. Fueled by a booming aerospace and tech economy, the city skews toward big, amenity-rich luxury lounges — LP Luxury alone has 32 spa chairs — clustered along Memorial Parkway and in the new west-side developments, rather than basic strip-mall shops. The upscale pockets sit in Jones Valley and Hampton Cove; the value is up north.

It tracks the 'Rocket City' economy. Huntsville's aerospace and tech boom has brought a well-paid workforce, and the nail scene has responded with large, amenity-rich luxury lounges — LP Luxury Nail Lounge has 32 spa chairs and private pedicure rooms — rather than the basic strip-mall shops you'd expect in a mid-size Southern city. They cluster along Memorial Parkway and in the newer west-side developments.
