Nail health first.
Mariam's dermatology background isn't incidental. It's the foundation of every service. Healthy nails hold product better, grow longer, and look better. Every decision starts there.
About the Studio
Maricure Nail Studio operates out of Suite 4 inside Metro Salon Suites in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood. Every service is designed to prioritize nail health, precision, and long-lasting results, in an elevated, personalized setting where one client gets the full attention of one artist.
Meet the Founder
Mariam is the founder of Maricure Nail Studio and brings over 10 years of dermatology experience to every single service. That background isn't just a credential. It shapes how she approaches every client's nail health, from the first consultation to the final finish.
She specializes in builder gel overlays and natural nail growth, creating looks that are clean, polished, and timeless. Her goal isn't just great nails for today. It's building and maintaining nails that are genuinely healthier over time.
Her clients don't just come back for the results. They come back because Mariam listens, remembers, and genuinely cares. She'll adjust your service based on how the last set held up, prioritize your nail health even when you'd rather skip a step, and make you laugh through the whole appointment.
Nail Artist
Tracee is Maricure's nail artist for advanced artistry. She specializes in intricate designs, 3D elements, and extra-long extensions for bold, eye-catching sets.
Whether it's a hand-painted floral, a cat-eye finish, a tortoiseshell-and-chrome combination, or something completely custom, Tracee executes with precision and creativity. Her clients consistently leave with sets that stop people in their tracks.
The Suite Experience
Maricure operates inside Metro Salon Suites, a boutique suite building at 3055 N. Lincoln Ave., Suite 4 in Lakeview, designed for independent beauty professionals. When you're here, your nail artist's attention is entirely on you. No open salon floor. No ambient noise from a dozen other technicians. No feeling like you're being rushed out for the next client.
Mariam's dermatology background isn't incidental. It's the foundation of every service. Healthy nails hold product better, grow longer, and look better. Every decision starts there.
Proper prep, proper application, proper removal. We don't rush the process, because cutting corners now costs your nail health later.
Your nails aren't a template. Shape, length, design, and finish are decided together, every single appointment.
If a service isn't right for your nail health right now, we'll tell you and explain exactly why. No upselling. No guessing. Just straight advice.
