The Studio City clients who come to us for Gel-X are usually after a finish that holds up under a lens. A thick, obvious set photographs badly, so we keep our work thin and natural, with the seam blended invisibly at the cuticle. Plenty of our regulars from the CBS Studio Center side book between auditions or on a lunch break because we can fit a clean set in without it looking done.
Directions and parking from Studio City
From Studio City, head west on Ventura past Laurel Canyon and Coldwater and you are at 13612 Ventura before a song finishes. Park on the quiet residential streets just off the boulevard near Costello or Sunnyslope, a few steps from our door, so you are not circling Ventura looking for a meter.
Book your Gel-X ahead rather than walking in. Extensions take more chair time, and a reserved slot means we can give the fitting the care that makes a set last.
About the service
Gel-X is a soft gel extension: a full coverage tip bonded over the whole natural nail and cured under a lamp, so it is light and soaks off cleanly instead of being filed away. We use the Aprés Gel-X system. New to it? See what Gel-X nails are and are Gel-X nails safe. Sets start at $60; the full menu is on our pricing page, and the Gel-X service page covers the whole appointment.
