EN STUDIO

EN Studio describes itself as a modern boutique beauty studio. Every appointment is private and one-on-one, so clients have the studio to themselves for their service. Appointments run Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM; the studio is closed Sunday and Monday. Bookings can be made by phone at (202) 997-1948 or by email at book@enstudiobeauty.com.

The menu centers on nails. The Russian manicure includes cuticle care, shaping and a thin, durable finish that the studio describes as natural-looking. A version with extensions is also offered, along with a correction service for keeping up and rebalancing an existing manicure as the natural nail grows.

Gel systems are chosen for each client's natural nails, length and needs, ranging from a softer builder gel to a hard gel. Service times for nail work can vary with the condition of the natural nails. Removing existing Gel-X, acrylic or other enhancements takes additional time and is booked separately. Clients who already have product from another salon are welcome, though extra removal or restructuring may add time and cost.

The studio says healthy nails come first in its services, and it chooses the gel system to suit each client's natural nails rather than applying one standard product.
