Brivani

Brivani was founded by Bruna Davila and Flavia Kuvaev, who came together after working side by side for more than two years. The business is a Brazilian beauty center in Los Angeles and treats nails and brows as a form of art, with the aim of bringing out the best in every client.

The menu covers manicures and pedicures. A classic manicure includes Brazilian cuticle care, shaping and either regular polish or a natural buffed finish. A structured gel manicure in the Russian style takes about 90 minutes and uses gel polish of your choice; it is a non-extension service. A male manicure and a male pedicure are also offered, each an hour long with cuticle care, shaping and a natural buffed finish.

For longer nails, the studio offers extensions in two forms. A fill for existing gel extensions covers retouching, shaping and gel polish, and is not offered for acrylic or Gel X. A full fiberglass or upper-form extension uses the Brazilian technique in gel or fiberglass and takes roughly two and a half hours. Nail art or design can be added by choosing the Nail Design option when booking.

Pedicures include a dry pedicure and a dry gel pedicure, both with Brazilian cuticle care and shaping. A foot spa add-on, starting at $30, includes a sugar scrub, callus removal, foot filing, a 10-minute paraffin treatment and a 10-minute massage.

The business describes its signature Russian manicure technique as producing clean cuticles and an even application, with results it says last while protecting the natural nail. Prices are listed in US dollars, and services marked with a plus sign start at the price shown.
