About

HORTŪS has offered nail care, sugaring and skin treatments since 2014 from its studio on Forsyth Street. The studio describes itself as a neighborhood home for natural nail care and puts nail and skin health ahead of quick fixes. It says it chooses products to be as non-toxic as possible while still meeting safety and performance standards, and states that its products are organic, clean and cruelty-free.

The nail menu runs from quick express maintenance and waterless manicures to Signature services with cuticle care and hangnail removal, gel and overlay options, and restorative treatments for dry nails. The studio notes that improving a nail can take several appointments or months, since healthy nail needs time to come in.

Body and facial sugaring cover arms, legs, back, bikini and face, with prices from $15 for fingers or toes up to $125 for full legs. Sugar paste is made from sugar, water and lemon juice, and the studio presents sugaring as a gentler option than waxing. Happy Hour sugaring rates apply Monday to Wednesday, 10am to 4pm, and are cash only.

Skin treatments target sun damage, acne, fine lines, hyperpigmentation and loss of elasticity, with little to no downtime. Guests booking a peel must submit a Peel Consent Form before their appointment.

Appointments can be requested through an online form or by calling or texting the studio; parties of more than four go through email. A valid credit card is required to confirm a booking, a 2.75% fee applies to all charges, and late cancellations or no-shows are charged the full service total plus a 20% gratuity. The HORTŪS Collective is an extension of the studio that hosts residencies and offerings from yoga, reiki, designers, artists, makers and wellness practitioners.

Prioritizes nail and skin health over quick fixes. An e-file is used only when appropriate, while routine cuticle care and soak-off gel removal are done by hand with professional instruments, and Russian manicures are not offered.
