Our Story Continues Downtown
Zen Nail Spa began with a simple goal: create a nail salon experience that feels dependable, professional, and genuinely calming. Our Downtown Chattanooga location brings that same standard into the heart of the city, offering a polished spa atmosphere with the convenience that Downtown guests need.
Downtown is fast-paced. Your self-care should not be. This location was designed to help clients reset, even if they only have an hour in the middle of a busy week. Whether you work nearby, live in the area, or are visiting Downtown Chattanooga, you can expect consistent results, thoughtful service, and an experience that respects your time.
Zen Nail Spa Downtown is also a natural fit for the community around us.

Zen Nail Spa Downtown Grand Opening
Meet Tracy Phan, Founder of Zen Nail Spa
Zen Nail Spa was founded by Tracy Phan, whose personal journey and professional experience continue to shape the brand’s standards.
After immigrating from Vietnam to the United States at a young age, Tracy began working in the nail industry while still in school. Over the years, she earned multiple professional licenses and gained hands-on experience across every aspect of nail care. That experience gave her a clear understanding of what clients value most — and what is often missing from traditional nail salons.
Zen Nail Spa was created to raise the standard. The goal is never to be the fastest or the flashiest, but to be the most consistent, professional, and client-focused. That philosophy is carried through every Zen Nail Spa location, including Downtown Chattanooga, where quality, cleanliness, and care remain the foundation of every service.
Experience That Shows in Every Detail
At Zen Nail Spa Downtown, the experience is shaped by intention, consistency, and attention to the moments that matter. From everyday appointments to special occasions, every detail is designed to feel polished, comfortable, and thoughtfully handled.
Our Downtown location regularly hosts bridal parties, birthday celebrations, and small work or team events, offering a relaxed yet elevated setting for groups to enjoy time together while receiving professional nail care. Whether you’re preparing for a wedding weekend, celebrating a milestone, or planning a team outing, our staff works closely with you to ensure the experience feels seamless and well-organized.
Alongside group services, our nail technicians are trained in modern techniques and premium systems, including natural nail care, structured gel, acrylic enhancements, dip powder, builder gel, and detailed nail art. Services are approached with precision and care, allowing results to look beautiful and hold up in real life.
If you’re interested in scheduling a bridal party, birthday appointment, or team event at our Downtown Chattanooga location, we invite you to contact our team in advance so we can help coordinate the details and create an experience tailored to your group.
