Ventura Blvd is the thread that ties Studio City and Sherman Oaks together, and X Nails sits right on it. From the Tujunga Village stretch or the busy blocks near the Studio City Farmers Market, the drive west to our door at 13612 Ventura Blvd takes only a few minutes. A lot of our regulars started as Studio City locals who wanted a quieter chair than the busy spots near CBS Studio Center, and they kept coming back.
Why Studio City locals make the drive
Studio City has plenty of nail spots, but our clients tell us they come west for the calm. We are not a high volume, in and out shop. The room is quiet, the tools are sterilized fresh for every guest, and you are treated like a neighbor rather than a number. For people who work long days in the industry or run between meetings on Ventura, an unhurried hour with a real massage chair is the point.
We are also known for our no tipping policy. The price you see is the price you pay, which our Studio City regulars appreciate after years of awkward math elsewhere. A gel manicure is $40, French is an extra $10, a classic pedicure starts at $30, and a gel pedicure is $45.
Services we are known for
Our signature is Gel-X, the soft gel extension that gives you natural looking length without acrylic damage. It is the reason a lot of folks first cross over from Studio City, and it starts at $60. You can read the full story on our Gel-X extensions page. Beyond that we do everyday gel manicures, dip powder, spa pedicures, acrylic, brow and lip waxing, and custom art from soft French to mirror chrome and cat eye. Browse the full services and pricing menu to plan your visit.
Our Studio City clients keep coming back for the same reason our Sherman Oaks ones do. It is quiet, it is clean, and the nails actually last.
If you are coming from Studio City for Gel-X or detailed art, book ahead at gocheckin.net. Those services take more chair time, and reserving a slot means we can give your set the attention it deserves instead of squeezing it between walk-ins.
