The character nails created by Ai Suzuki — known as the “Mother of Ita-Nail” — are astonishingly intricate

color’s blue Shibuya is well-known as a salon where customers can request anime nails (called ita-nails in Japan) that faithfully replicate characters from anime and manga in the design.In particular, Ai Suzuki, a pioneer in this genre and a highly skilled nail artist, brings customers’ favorite characters to life exactly as they wish. Her expressive artistry is sure to amaze you.

Here is an example of anime nails (ita-nails) created based on a customer’s request.

For anime nails (ita-nails), many clients choose to have a character drawn on the thumbnail, while the other nails are designed with motifs related to that character or with colors that evoke its image.

Depending on the character, it generally takes about 30 minutes to an hour to complete a single nail. We recommend making a reservation in advance.
