About Us – Our Story
Most people who have had a bad manicure experience do some research until they find a new place to have their nails done. But most people are not Priscilla Smith, owner and founder of Paixxão.Co. She was so put off by the negative service at her local salon that she decided to leave behind a decade in property management for the nail industry. Paixxão opened its doors in 2016 and was aptly named after the Portuguese word for passion.
Paixxão is unique in that the salons, which are located throughout Albuquerque, use cool tones of mint and gray to evoke a refreshing and relaxing environment. The aesthetic also reinforces the salon’s super-clean standards, which are a priority. All of our services are considered to be a unique spa experience, offering unparalleled standards in salon hygiene. Our team has access to the best professional product lines in the industry, as well as our own local products. As a company, we know that we have to believe in the products we use and understand why we use them.
About Us – Our Team
Our salon nurtures the talented nail and beauty techs of the future. We create a warm and friendly environment for our staff by running monthly meetings to discuss the biggest beauty trends, challenges, and ways to innovate at the salon. New team members are given in-depth and specialized training, ensuring that they provide services up to our standard. We also offer our clients the option of booking services at different price points depending on the technician’s experience.
