Nula La nail studio was the spot we decided to step into before heading off to Costa Rica for our anniversary. Looking for a pedi mani I found this spot. You can find NuLa nestled in off the main busy strip of North Water, which is a perfect little hideaway for this nail studio. We walked in and were ushered in immediately to sit down and relax! Kara is one fun young lady. Her spunky attitude and knack for humor with a bit of sarcasm made this visit a treat. She is really a hoot to be around! Between the humor and the hot towels plus the relaxing atmosphere, it was a great way to start our vacation. We had top-notch service and enjoyed the experience overall. We reserved the entire studio so my wife and I could get the royal treatment. Gentle massages and hot water on the feet and lots of wonderful oils and lotions to make the hands and feet feel wonderful Overall, nothing to complain about because we left the studio feeling like a million bucks! I also think NuLa's pricing is very reasonable in comparison to other studios. Such a cool spot to be in just before heading to vacation! We would come back again any day to get the royal treatment from this crew! read more

One of the best nail salons I've ever been too! Was in town for a wedding Memorial Day weekend & was able to get a reservation for the Friday of Memorial Day location week of, when most places were booked. The two people working the salon were super nice & friendly and the salon was very clean & had great decor. The prices were super reasonable & they had a decent color/ selection for gel & regular for the salon size. I got white regular manicure and it didn't chip for over a week and didn't turn yellow. Will definitely be back next time I'm in MKE! read more

The BEST dip manicure I have ever had. I even re-upholstered some chairs without any nail chipping. Kara, the owner, is amazing and does a wonderful job. Highly recommend. read more

This is a small boutique type place on the 2nd floor of a multi-use building so don't walk by. The owner is very personable and my pedicure was perfect. It had lasted around 4 weeks without chipping. read more

Love Kara! Personable, patient, and does great nails that last! My gel normally chips after a few days but hers have held up strong! Also, her color selection is amazing. read more

Stayed at Kimpton Journeyman hotel and walked to Nula La. The salon is on the 2nd floor and extremely inviting. Kara is owner and very friendly. Anne is the one that I got my shellac manicure with and did a fabulous job! She is also a lovely lady. They are both very meticulous and go above and beyond. They take their time and don't try to rush you through your service. Wish I lived in Milwaukee so I could get my regular manicures at Nula La! read more

This place is cozy and comfortable, almost like a living room. Very friendly service, good prices, and I loved that I could schedule my appointment online. read more

Nula La Nail Studio provides expert attention, high quality products, and an inviting atmosphere. This is not your cheap in n out chop shop - expect to be able to relax, be majorly pampered, and spend a fair price for an impressive service. Kara is so sweet and easy to get along with and her Nail Studio is comfortable and super chic. I don't want to recommend this place because then I might have to wait an extra week to get an appointment, but seriously this place is the best. Hands down. read more

I absolutely LOVE this salon!!! Upon walking in it's so well lit and the décor of the place is beyond gorgeous!! It makes you feel very homey! It's not like a traditional salon but it's better than that. You get one on one time with Kara. She's amazing!! Her personality is super friendly, respectful, and bubbly!! She makes you feel at ease and welcomed!! It was my first time coming here and I loveeeeed it!! She's not pushy for the polish styles or what kind to go with like other salons I've been too and she gives great suggestions!! She's a perfectionist which is awesome too!! She makes you feel like you're talking to your bestie! The online booking system is THE BEST I've come across!!! It's SO easy and fast to book an appointment! No signing up, logging in, or trying to figure out how to make the appointment. It's quick and easy. (Literally booked while walking to her salon). Definitely suggest this salon for a good pamper and unwind time. She pays attention to what YOU want done and actually does it correctly. She really makes you feel like you're first. She's very knowledgeable as well which I like. I just did an express manicure with the polish that should lasted 7-10 days after work. Loved how my nails turned out and that she could squeeze me in right before my trip. When you're completed with your service paying is easy as well! Love how you get the option of an email receipt or text one and how it has tip options set for you so you don't have to do math on your phone haha Will come back again! I recommend this salon!! Can't wait for her to setup the spray tanning too!!! read more

Had a girls trip out in Milwaukee and we stopped by this adorable salon. The atmosphere is very relaxing and has huge windows, high ceiling, and exposed brick. Kara is very sweet and we will absolutely be back. read more

This place was fantastic! I was visiting from LA to attend a wedding and realized if I would be wearing sandals I probably needed a pedicure. Managed to get in the same day and was thrilled. The space was fabulous and way more comfy than any other nail place I have been. The owner did my toes herself and what great conversation. I am not used to being able to talk during my appointment, and it made both the time go by quicker and added to the overall experience. It was a great surprise in my afternoon and visit to Milwaukee! read more

I'm not from the Milwaukee area, but if I was- I'd definitely be a frequent client of this salon. Due to some last minute cancellations, I was in need of a pedicure before a bachelorette weekend in Milwaukee. Being unfamiliar with the area, I turned to Yelp! and found this salon owned by a fabulous woman named Kara. I booked my appointment via Yelp and it was so easy. Kara got back to me so quickly and confirmed my appointment via email. During my appointment, Kara was so accommodating and made me feel like a queen when getting my toes done. Her spirit is contagious and is reflected in her salon style. Besides having a unique style, she is very talented. My feet feel great and look great too... even a week later! I was very satisfied with my visit and would definitely find a reason to book an appointment when I'm back in Milwaukee next! I would highly recommend checking this place out! read more

If you love having perfect nails then make an appointment with Kara asap! I have been going to her for over two years and get compliments on my nails all the time! Its not a huge surprise because Kara is a perfectionist who never lets me leave without perfect nails. My favorite part is that she helps me pick flattering colors which can be a challenge because I have such pale skin. She knows her colors really well and can always predict what will look amazing! Plus she's so nice and talking to her is a blast! read more

Kara is meticulous with her nail care, she has a charismatic personality, and she is one of the most sanitary professionals I know of. Her nail studio is beyond charming and she would bend over backwards for her clients' satisfaction.

Loved loved loved Ms. Kara. Her salon is so pretty and looks like a place you'd see in LA or on television. She has a great polish selection and she made my hands and feet look amazing.

Can't wait to see her again. read more

The BEST nail experience I've ever had. There's so many good things to say. The studio is amazing. It's nicely decorated and comfortable. It's even a bonus that you're the only client in there during your appointment.

Definitely will be coming back when I need my nails done again! read more

Kara is fantastic! I've had my nails done twice with her so far and both times I requested nail art. She absolutely nailed it (pun intended). Super detail oriented.
