Essence Nail Studio has two Irvine locations: one on Jeffrey Road inside Cypress Village Shopping Center and one on Barranca Parkway inside Woodbridge Village Center. The salon describes its setting as a relaxing spa atmosphere, and guests can enjoy complimentary wine and free Wi-Fi during a treatment or while waiting.
Every manicure and pedicure includes cleansing, shaping, cuticle care, massage, buffing and polish. The nail menu runs from quick gel polish and gel manicures to acrylic full sets, fills and repairs, and the natural nail care menu steps up from Mini and Classic to Deluxe and Essence spa services. Deluxe and Essence spa visits include a choice of one spa package among Honey Green Tea Chamomile, Aroma, Pearl and Lavender, and paraffin can be added for an extra $5 with spa and waterless services. Spa packages are available by calling the salon.
Pedicures in the natural nail care menu begin with a soak in a spa chair fitted with a liner. The therapeutic waterless treatment skips the soak entirely and is performed without placing feet in water. Pricing for each level is listed by manicure, pedicure and combo.
Hygiene is a stated focus. The salon says it is open about its product quality and sanitation procedures, that implements, spa liners, files, buffers and pumices are never reused, that implements are sanitized according to California State Board regulations, and that spa liners are disposed of after each use. The salon also says its staff are professionally trained and licensed.
Appointments are booked online through Vagaro. Hours are Monday to Friday 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Saturday 9:30 AM to 7:00 PM, and Sunday 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The Jeffrey Road location can be reached at 949 988 7978 and the Barranca Parkway location at 949 333 2290.
The salon says it aims for five-star treatment and is transparent about product quality and sanitation. Single-use items such as spa liners, files, buffers and pumices are discarded rather than reused.
A relaxing spa atmosphere, according to the salon.
