Oracle Nails

Oracle Nails is a nail studio in Los Angeles, with appointments held in a private studio on the third floor of Salon Republic in West Hollywood. Parking is in the garage at 8550 Santa Monica Blvd. The studio is open Wednesday through Saturday, 10 AM to 6 PM, and is closed Monday, Tuesday and Sunday.

The core menu centers on manicures. The Classic manicure is $155 and takes 120 minutes, offering one color, French tip, ombre, aura, cat eye, or clear 3D details and small charms, with one design repeated across all nails. The Custom manicure is $215 and takes 150 minutes. It is a structured gel manicure paired with either complex or personalized nail art, such as textured chrome, nuance art, 3D designs, layered techniques, fine line detailing and charms. The Seasonal or Omakase option is $185 and takes 120 minutes. Seasonal offers a menu of designs that changes each season, while Omakase sets are designed on the spot and created in the moment.

Removing existing gel with a clean-up manicure costs $65 and takes 30 minutes: the gel is soaked off, then nails are trimmed, shaped and buffed. A basic removal starts at $15 and takes 15 minutes, covering electric-file and soak-off removal on gel, hard gel, acrylic, Gel X and poly gel. Clients wearing product applied at another salon need this removal. The price depends on the product. Nail repairs are also offered in a 30-minute appointment, at a price that varies. The menu also lists a same-day cancelation service for $185, 30 minutes.

Booking involves a deposit. Classic, Custom and Seasonal or Omakase appointments require a $50 deposit, gel removal requires $35, and After Hours requires $100. Canceling forfeits the deposit, and cancellations within two days of the appointment are charged the full service price. Rescheduling is free with two days notice, but a second reschedule counts as a cancellation and requires a new deposit to rebook. All prices include gratuity.

After Hours appointments cover Classic, Seasonal or Omakase service booked outside the regular Wednesday to Saturday, 10 AM to 6 PM schedule, with a convenience fee added. Custom After Hours work is available by inquiry. Custom designs may be declined if the technique falls outside the studio's scope, so clients are asked to send inspiration ahead of time, and supplies are subject to availability. Re-creations or changes to past Seasonal or Omakase designs are booked as Custom Art. Questions can be sent to Violet Davis through the contact form on the website.

According to the salon, its work centers on Japanese-influenced nail art with subtle detailing and delicate finishes, along with hand-selected Omakase treatments.

A private studio rather than an open salon floor.
