Philadelphia’s Home for Nail Biting Restoration

At Atelier Anaiis, we know that finding a proven, professional solution for nail biting is difficult. Nail salons are typically places that “beautify” on the surface-level, not solve nail problems you desperately need help with. 

As Philadelphia’s health-first nail care studio, if you’ve been looking for a safe place to begin nail biting recovery — both physical and mental — you’ve found it.

Why Nail-Biting Needs a Different Kind of Care

Chronic nail-biting often leads to brittle, thin, uneven nails; painful hangnails; cuticle issues; and nails that never seem to grow. Biting can also be part of a cycle of stress response, making it hard to “just stop.”  

That’s why at Atelier Anaiis, we combine restorative nail care with a mindful rehab process. Our methods give your nails space and time to heal, protected for three to four weeks at a time — while helping you build new, healthy habits.

Our Nail-Biting Recovery Process

  • Gentle Restoration — We begin with the pillar of our Nail Care Program: restorative care of the nail walls and cuticles. While the raw, bitten nail plates are what many assume is the primary issue, our approach is based on our experience and knowledge that the condition of the skin surrounding the nail plate is integral to the health and eventual renewal of the nail itself. 

  • Protective Layers — The final step of our Nail Care Program is a durable and protective gel layer that creates a shield for your natural nails, as they reshape and regrow undisturbed for three to four weeks. 

  • Personalized Healing Plan — We honor the fact that every client’s nail-biting history and triggers are different. We collaborate with you to identify what drives the impulse (stress, anxiety, boredom, etc), and design a maintenance rhythm that supports both nail growth and habit change.

  • Behavioral Support & Healthy Nail Rituals — Rehabilitation from nail biting isn’t just about nails — it’s about behavior. We guide you toward healthier nail-care habits, mindful upkeep, and rituals that replace biting with care. Over time, as nails improve (less hangnails, visible nail bed health, smooth nail plates), the cycle of biting recedes into the background.

  • Long-Term Maintenance for Lasting Results — Nail-biting restoration isn’t a one-time fix. With consistently scheduled follow-ups, supportive routines, and professional care, nails not only recover — they grow stronger, healthier, and stay that way, long after you’ve left the habit in the past.

Real Transformation: What to Expect

With commitment and consistency of care, our clients who once bit their nails notice:

  • Growing confidence, replacing past anxiety and self-consciousness about their nails.

  • Reduced hangnails and less irritated skin around the nail plate.

  • Visible nail growth, healthier nail plates, smoother texture — even color.

  • Stronger, more resilient nails that resist splitting, peeling, and cracking.

  • Reduced urge to bite thanks to healthy nail-care rituals and visible progress.

Nail biting recovery isn’t only physical — it’s behavioral. Over time, many former nail-biters in our care tell us their nails “feel like real nails again.”
