Van Nuys and Sherman Oaks sit just minutes apart, divided by the 101 and joined by the boulevards that cross it. Head south on Van Nuys Blvd, Sepulveda or Woodman and you drop straight onto Ventura Blvd, and we are at 13612 Ventura Blvd before you have finished your podcast. Plenty of our Van Nuys regulars tried a salon closer to home first, then made the short drive south once and kept coming back for years.
Why Van Nuys clients come our way
Van Nuys has plenty of nail salons, so the people who cross the freeway to us are after 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. The cleanliness is usually the first thing new clients 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 Van Nuys clients found us by searching 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 Van Nuys clients tell us the quick trip over the 101 is worth it for an hour that actually feels calm, clean, and unhurried.
