The story behind Nighthawk Peridot

Isabela Fontes opened Nighthawk Peridot in March 2019 in a rented room on Rua Bela Cintra, Consolação, with one lamp, one UV lamp, and a waiting list she had built doing nails out of her apartment for two years. The name came from a sketch…

Why clients keep coming back

01

90-minute turnaround

Every appointment is structured so you are in the chair, done, and out the door in 90 minutes or less. We time every stage. Prep, colour, finish. And we have never missed that window.

02

Gel that actually lasts

We use Presto! Builder Gel and Vetro gel polishes, sourced directly from our São Paulo distributor. Clients regularly report three-week wear without lifting or chipping.

03

No double-booking

One technician, one client at a time. Your slot is yours. Nobody is waiting on the sofa watching you get your cuticles done.

The person

"Isabela Fontes trained in nail technology at the Centro Europeu institute in Curitiba in 2014, then spent three years as a senior technician at a high-volume salon in Moema, São Paulo, before going independent in 2017. She spent two years building a client base from her apartment before opening Nighthawk Peridot in March 2019. During the 2020 closure she completed advanced gel-structure courses with educators in Tokyo and Milan, which reshaped how she approaches every service. She refuses to use electric files for removal and keeps a geology textbook on the studio shelf. The same one that introduced her to peridot crystals in secondary school. She is a slow reader and a fast nail technician."
