After more than 10 years on Ventura Blvd, one thing our regulars mention again and again is that there are no surprises at the register. We tell you the price before we pick up a brush, and our no tipping policy means the quoted number is the final number. No tablet spun around at the end, no guessing.
Price list
These are our starting prices. Length, custom nail art, repairs and removal of an old set can add to the total, which is why we confirm the price with you first.
| Service | Starting price | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Gel manicure | $40 | Long wearing, high shine color that stays chip free for weeks |
| French add-on | +$10 | Classic white tip or a modern colored French |
| Classic pedicure | from $30 | A relaxing soak, scrub and polish in our massage chairs |
| Gel pedicure | $45 | Longer lasting color on your toes |
| Gel-X extensions | from $60 | Natural looking length without acrylic damage, our specialty |
| Dip powder | from $45 | Durable color with serious staying power, no lamp needed |
| Acrylic set | varies | Length and strength, priced by length and shape |
| Custom nail art | varies | Chrome, cat eye, hand painted and seasonal designs |
| Brow and lip waxing | varies | Quick, clean shaping while you are in |
Coming from another salon with an old set on? Removal is quick and gentle here, and we will quote it before we start. A clean soak off protects your natural nail far better than peeling or heavy filing.
What changes the price
Three things move the number most. Length is the first: longer Gel-X or sculpted sets take more product and time. Nail art is the second, from a simple accent to detailed hand painted work. The third is the state of your nails when you arrive, since removing an old set or repairing a break adds a few minutes. None of this is a surprise, because we walk through it with you before we begin.
Why we have a no tipping policy
We built the no tipping policy because the end of an appointment should feel relaxing, not awkward. Our prices already reflect the care and time we put into your nails, so there is no math to do and no pressure at the counter. Several of our reviews mention it as the reason they keep coming back. The price you see is the price you pay.
