About

The salon has served Pacific Beach and San Diego from its Garnet Avenue location since 1992. It describes its color collections and nail design work as a particular strength, and says its service pairs modern technology with personal attention.

Manicures start at $21 for a standard service, which usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. The Luxury Spa Manicure starts at $35 and runs about 60 minutes, moving through a hand soak, sugar scrub, cooling mask, hand massage and hot towel wrap before gel or regular polish. Gel polish can be added to that service for an additional charge.

Pedicures start at $32. The Luxury Spa Pedicure, listed at $63, takes about 60 to 75 minutes and includes a warm herbal mineral bath, callus treatment, collagen gel leg exfoliation, a mud mask, a hot paraffin dip and polish. The Dreamy Dollhouse Pedicure, listed at $75 and up, is an organic treatment of about 75 to 90 minutes built around a milk soak, honey sugar scrub, seasonal fruit lotion mask, hot stone massage and paraffin dip. Advanced pedicures have limited availability per session, so the salon recommends booking ahead, especially on weekends. Clients with diabetes or circulation concerns are advised to check with a doctor first and mention medical conditions when booking. Legs should not be shaved for 24 hours before a pedicure.

Nail enhancements include acrylic, Gel X, hard gel, builder gel, polygel, dip powder and dip gel, offered as new sets and fill-ins. New sets start from about $53 to $70 depending on the system, and fill-ins from $53 to $55. Builder gel is a soak-off option that can suit short, weak or recovering nails, with fill-ins suggested every three to four weeks. Gel X tips are full-coverage soft gel extensions in square, coffin, almond or stiletto shapes, and the salon removes them with acetone.

Waxing covers facial areas, underarms, arms, legs, back, chest, stomach, bikini and Brazilian. Prices range from $9 for lip to $55 and up for full legs. Extra services include custom nail art from $3 per nail, tip extensions from $5, cuticle trimming for $8 and soak-off for $10. Repairs are offered for broken nails, chips and individual extensions.

Policies cover a 7-day no-fault warranty on gel and enhancement services, where the salon will fix issues within that week at no charge, and no refunds once a service has been rendered. Cancellations or reschedules need at least 2 hours notice. Clients can buy a personal tool set the salon stores for their exclusive use, and they may bring their own nail polish. Group bookings for birthdays, bachelorettes and other gatherings are offered by phone or text.

Sanitation is part of the routine: metal tools go through a UV sterilizer and fresh disposable files and buffers are used for every client. The salon removes enhancements with an acetone soak-off and does not file or pry product off, and it recommends professional removal for polygel.
