Lacquered By Liz

Lacquered By Liz is run by Liz, a private nail technician, from a suite on South Western Avenue in San Pedro. The services are grouped under nails and pedicures.

On the nail side, gel manicures take about 50 minutes at $45. Hard gel overlays cost $75 and take 1 hour 15 minutes; they add strength to the natural nail with clear hard gel and can be refilled. Nail art is priced according to the design and takes at least 15 minutes.

Pedicures run from a quick pedi (one hour, $50) to a dry pedicure, which is done without water and costs $75. The dry pedicure covers toenail cutting, filing and shaping, cuticle deep cleaning, callus debulking, buffing, a Footlogix exfoliating scrub, lotion, a hot towel wrap, nail prep and regular polish. The business says podiatrists and the North American School of Podology recommend dry pedicures as the healthiest pedicure option.

The wellness pedicure is a customized service for problematic feet. It begins with a consultation, includes a full-size Footlogix product, takes two hours and costs $130. It is listed for new clients.

Bookings and changes go through the online Square page. Reschedules and cancellations need at least 24 hours' notice, given by Instagram DM or text. Clients get a 7-minute grace period for lateness before a $10 late fee applies, and an appointment is cancelled if the client has not arrived 15 minutes after its start time. Clients who neither call nor show up are barred from booking again.

Pedicures centre on dry methods and Footlogix products, and bookings follow clear time and cancellation rules.
