The first thing one notices when walking into PAINT Nail Bar in Winter Park is the sunlight. It pours through the windows, bouncing off blush walls and gilded mirrors, illuminating rows of meticulously displayed nail polishes in every imaginable hue. But it isn’t just the aesthetic that draws people in—it’s the unmistakable feeling of being well cared for. 

Behind this boutique experience is a woman with a heart for health and a mind for beauty: Casey Kish. Kish bought into the franchise in 2023 and recently celebrated the one-year anniversary of the grand opening of the Winter Park location. 

Kish had visited a PAINT Nail Bar in Sarasota and noticed that the space was very different from other nail salons. It was odor-free, clean, modern, non-toxic and welcoming—everything she wished for in a nail salon.

Indeed, PAINT Nail Bar is completely different and redefines what a nail salon can be. Gone are the chemical odors and rushed services. Instead, guests are welcomed into a luxurious, health-forward environment where wellness is just as important as beauty. Kish believes beauty rituals should never come at the cost of health, which is why every product and practice at PAINT is chosen with intention.

Her team of licensed nail technicians are trained in traditional nail artistry along with advanced safety and sanitation protocols. Using medical-grade sterilization and individually packaged tools, every service is executed with the highest standard of hygiene. All tools are either disposable after one use, such as files and buffers, or sterilized before being used again. 

The salon only uses nail polishes and gels that are free of harmful chemicals like formaldehyde, toluene and DBP. This results in an environment that is completely free of fumes, which is safe for babies, kids, pregnant women and patients undergoing chemotherapy and more comfortable for everyone who enters. The emphasis on non-toxic beauty is not just a trend here—it’s a principle.

Kish explains, “There’s a confidence that comes when you know the products you’re using aren’t harming your health. We want people to feel pampered, protected and proud to be here.”

The services at PAINT go beyond manicures and pedicures. It’s a curated wellness experience. Guests are offered complementary coffee, mimosas, wine, herbal teas or a variety of waters while choosing from a seasonal palette of polishes. Skilled staff offer an array of services including drill-less gel removal techniques that protect the nail bed, jet-less pedicure bowls that ensure a bacteria-free soak, along with add-ons such as nail art, paraffin wax and nail strengthening treatments.

The shop is also a boutique that stocks trendy clothing, jewelry and gift items for style-savvy and wellness-minded people. Every item is hand-selected by Kish, who has a keen eye for products that elevate daily rituals and bring joy. There is an assortment of pampering products such as body butters, foot creams, scrubs and nourishing oils to complement the trend-forward clothing and accessories—imagine clean beauty meeting effortless fashion. Seasonal gifts ensure there is something for everyone. 

Kish brings warmth and intention to every element of the business, creating a community culture. She often collaborates with local wellness practitioners, clean beauty influencers and nonprofit organizations to host pop-up events and wellness nights, drawing people together in celebration of self-care and connection. The events are announced on the Instagram page. 

As PAINT Nail Bar Winter Park grows, Kish envisions expanding into more community-based offerings—private group bookings, bridal parties and educational sessions on nail health and clean beauty. “We’re here to make people feel beautiful, yes,” she says. “But also, to educate and inspire them to prioritize themselves in ways that truly matter.”

PAINT Nail Bar Winter Park is a place where time slows, senses awaken and beauty feels personal. Thanks to Kish’s experience at the Sarasota location, she was inspired to bring PAINT to the Central Florida area and now, it is one of Winter Park’s most beloved destinations for self-care.
