Sommer Leiper

Hi! I have lived in Bend for about 8 years now and absolutely love it! It's the perfect place for my many hobbies, including horseback riding, paddleboarding, snowshoeing, skiing, hiking, and of course lounging in the river! I graduated from Phagan's Beauty College in April 2024 and in 2025 started my own salon, The Bend Beauty Nook! I take my time and pride myself on my attention to detail and my gentle approach at doing nails. I specialize in hard gel and nail art. I am so excited to meet new clients and give them beautiful and long-lasting nails. Please note that services are non-refundable.

The values behind every visit

Deeply Personal

We're a small team by design. Every artist knows their regular clients — their nail history, their preferences, their lives. That's not something a large salon can offer.

Craft First

We're not chasing volume. We care about executing each service perfectly — the prep, the technique, the finish. Rushing doesn't belong here.

Genuinely Welcoming

Whether it's your first time or your fiftieth, you'll be greeted the same way — warmly, without pretension, and with real enthusiasm for making you feel wonderful.

Come find your favorite artist.

All bookings are online — quick, easy, no phone tag.
