Encino and Sherman Oaks share the same long ribbon of Ventura Blvd, so getting to us is simple no matter which part of Encino you call home. From the busy shops near Balboa or the quieter blocks tucked into the hills, you head east on Ventura and you are at our door at 13612 Ventura Blvd before long. A lot of our Encino regulars started out trying a few salons closer to home before settling in with us, and they have stayed for years.
Why Encino clients come our way
Encino has no shortage of nail salons, so the people who drive east to us are choosing something specific. They want the calm. Our room is quiet and unhurried, the tools are sterilized fresh for every single guest, and the massage chairs are there to actually relax in, not just to sit in for five minutes. For clients used to a polished, well kept neighborhood, the cleanliness is usually the first thing they notice, and it is the detail our reviewers mention most.
The no tipping policy is a quiet relief too. The price you are quoted is the price you pay. A gel manicure is $40, French is an extra $10, a classic pedicure starts at $30, and a gel pedicure is $45. No surprises, no tablet math at the end.
What we are known for
Gel-X is our signature service. It is a soft gel extension that gives you natural looking length without the damage acrylic can leave, and it starts at $60. A good share of our Encino clients found us by looking for a salon that takes Gel-X seriously, because a careful fit and clean blend are everything with this service. The full breakdown lives on our Gel-X extensions page. We also offer gel manicures, dip powder, spa pedicures, acrylic, brow and lip waxing, and custom art from soft French to chrome and cat eye. See the whole services and pricing menu before you come in.
Our Encino clients tell us the drive east is worth it for an hour that actually feels calm, clean, and unhurried.
