The nail salon hunt in Rowlett usually means crossing a parking lot, not much more. But after scouting a dozen shops between the Harbor and the 30 frontage roads, the standards in this city run deeper than a quick dry manicure.

Some spots nail the art with obsessive precision, while others win on old-school patience and cheap, flawless work. We sat through enough fills and dip sets to confidently say the talent here is specific.

The list is below. Find your new chair.
