Our Philosophy

Beauty should be
clean, or it isn’t
beauty at all.

We believe the air in a salon should be as fresh as the finish on your nails. At freecoat concord, we have reimagined the traditional experience as a sanctuary of non-toxic wellness.

"We founded freecoat to solve a problem we saw in our own community: the compromise between luxury self-care and personal health."

Our Origin

Freecoat nails was founded in Charleston in 2017 as the nation’s first non-toxic nail and beauty franchise system. It was born from a desire to create a high-end salon environment that prioritized the health of both the client and the artist.

Our founders, Landon and Kat Eckles, understood that wellness is holistic. Coming from the world of organic nutrition, they applied the same rigorous standards to beauty that they had perfected in wellness. The result is a space that is intentionally fume-free, jet-free, and toxin-free.

Today, freecoat concord continues this legacy. We never offer acrylics or SNS because we refuse to introduce toxic dust or fumes into our environment. We choose products that are vegan, cruelty-free, and gluten-free, ensuring that your time with us is a true gift of gratitude to yourself.

The 'Free' Standards

A commitment to clinical cleanliness and sensory peace.

Fume-Free

Our medical-grade air filtration system works silently to evacuate fumes and circulate clean air, ensuring our studio never smells like a traditional salon.

Toxin-Free

We use a proprietary line of polishes that are free from the 'toxic dozen' chemicals found in standard brands. Vegan, gluten-free, and uncompromising.

Jet-Free

Traditional pedicure jets are breeding grounds for bacteria. Our custom tubs are jet-free, paired with medical-grade sterilization for every tool.
