About

The salon describes itself as an upscale nail salon, the best in Encinitas and a top destination for nail art in North County, and says it offers a 5-star experience. These are the salon's own descriptions. The business has two locations: one on North El Camino Real in Encinitas and one on West San Marcos Boulevard in San Marcos.

Services are grouped into hands, pedicures, nail art, small add-ons, removal and a children's menu. Hand services range from a classic or dry regular manicure to gel manicures, gel overlays, Gel-X extensions and hard gel extensions. Pedicures include regular, gel, combi and smart dry options. Gel manicures typically last two to three weeks and gel overlays two to four weeks, according to the salon.

Nail art is priced in three levels. Simple designs, such as glitter, stickers, foil, cat's eye, French and chrome, run from $15 to $30. Special designs, including hand-painted work, lines, 3D, crystals, ombre, half moons and marbling, run from $30 to $50. Intricate work, such as detailed hand-painted faces, animals and characters, starts at $50. Nail art prices and times vary by nail specialist.

The salon says it follows California decontamination law. Disposable materials are new for every client, and the working area is cleaned after each visit. Metal, plastic and ceramic tools are cleaned and soaked in a disinfecting solution after each client, and disposables, towels and tools are kept in lidded containers.

The salon uses hard gel or poly gel for extensions and does not offer acrylic extensions. Gel polish removal is available by soaking with acetone or by using an electric file. Children aged 4 to 12 can book kids' manicures, pedicures and nail art, with manicures and pedicures taking up to 20 minutes.

The salon says it uses non-toxic products from leading nail brands and puts a strong focus on cleaning and disinfecting between clients.
