About
A family studio in Oro Valley, built on patient prep and unhurried appointments.
Three generations of steady hands.One quiet studio.
Linh Pham grew up in her family’s salon on Tucson’s east side, where her mother, Hoa, and two aunts did nails six days a week. After school she practiced line work on paper tips at the kitchen table, and learned the part nobody sees: shaping, cuticle work and prep that make color last.
In 2021 she opened Oro & Ivory with a simple rule: nobody is rushed. Appointments never overlap, every set is filed by hand, and the menu says exactly what things cost. Her mother still takes pedicures on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Why Oro & Ivory
Oro for Oro Valley, and for the gold we use in foils and charms. Ivory for the natural nail, which we treat as the canvas it is.
How we work
Prep is the part you don’t see
Most lifting starts before any color goes on. We shape, push back and clean every cuticle, then prep the nail plate so gel and dip hold.
One guest per artist
Appointments never overlap. Your artist is never finishing someone else’s set while yours cures.
Clean like a clinic
Metal tools are sterilized in an autoclave and opened in front of you. Files, buffers and pedicure liners are single use.
Prices on the menu
Every service and every nail-art level has a price up front, and we quote custom work before we start.
The studio
Six manicure tables with built-in ventilation, three pedicure chairs, a treatment room for facials and lashes, and a tea bar by the window. Big windows face Pusch Ridge, so the light is good for checking color.
