Pedicures

A woman is sitting on a chair and receiving a foot treatment from a professional at a wellness center. The professional is holding a device near the woman's foot, and steam can be seen rising from it. There are bottles and foot care products on a table nearby, and a sign reads "Waterless Cleaner Indulgence." In the background, there is a decorative wall with green plants and pink flowers, and hanging pendant lights.

Massages

Experience the Difference

We started with what the industry was willing to ignore — the fumes, the bacteria, the underpaid hands doing the work. Then we built the opposite of all of it. Clean formulas. Sterile tools. Fair wages. A pace that actually lets you relax. This is Lili and Cata.

Cleaner Pedicures

We've done away with soaking tubs entirely, because what collects in them shouldn't be anywhere near you, and because we'd rather not waste gallons of water on something a mist can do better. We begin every treatment with a refreshing antibacterial mist infused with lemongrass and peppermint essential oils, followed by warm towels that soften and prepare your skin for what's ahead. It's the same indulgence, without the waste. Cleaner, waterless, and eco-conscious.

Without Soaking Tubs

Cleaner Standards

We think clean should mean something. That's why we created the Clean Cube — our dedicated in-house sterilization station that goes well beyond what most salons consider standard. While the industry minimum requires basic disinfecting, we use a hospital-grade autoclave that addresses all three levels of decontamination. Every tool. Every time. No exceptions. Because the details that are hardest to see are often the ones that matter most.

Hospital-grade Sterilization

A manicurist is applying red nail polish to a customer's nails in a nail salon. The salon has a white table with various nail polish colors displayed on a fan-shaped palette. There's a small bottle of red nail polish labeled "RED NO. 1" on the table. The manicurist is wearing a black apron with the logo "lili and cata Nail Salon."

Ethical Cuticle Care

The nail salon industry has a well-documented history of underpaying the very artists behind the work. We built Lili and Cata differently. Our nail artists earn fair wages, work in a chemical-free environment, and are treated with the respect every skilled professional deserves. When you book with us, you're not just choosing better nail care — you're choosing a business that does right by its people.

Fair Wages Are Part of Our Formula

Polish & Pour

Some appointments are meant to be rushed through. This isn't one of them. The Lili and Cata café is stocked with drinks worth savoring — a perfectly pulled espresso, a calming herbal tea, or a crisp glass of wine. Sip on something you love, and allow yourself to be looked after–your nails are in good hands.
