Got a gel mani here last week and it still looks perfect. No chips, no lifting. Will definitely be back.

Why Houhou Nails?
We started Houhou Nails in 2023 after years of doing nails out of a home studio. The idea was simple: build a real salon in West Lafayette where people can get their nails done without worrying about quality or getting rushed out the door. We picked our spot on Bowfield Way because it is close to campus and easy to get to from anywhere in town. Most of our clients are Purdue students and faculty, young professionals, and local regulars who just want a consistent, well-done manicure. Our team trains together every month to stay up on new techniques — whether that is the latest chrome finish, hand-painted designs, or lash application methods. We invest in quality products because they last longer and look better. Your nails should still look fresh two to three weeks out, and they will. We keep our space clean, our music good, and our prices honest. No hidden fees, no upselling. Just good nails.
What Our Clients Say
Did a full set with chrome and honestly they turned out better than my reference photo. The tech took her time and got it exactly right.
Got lash extensions for the first time and they look so natural. My roommate could not figure out what was different about my face until I told her.
