Studio Nails, The Best Little Nail Salon in the Valley

 

Sparkling clean, inexpensive, as good as higher-priced spreads, this little Studio Nail salon offers top quality manis, pedis, waxing, facials and massages.

I just discovered the salon a few weeks ago, quite by accident.  I was making a U-turn off Ventura Blvd. and there is was. I went in on a lark and had a manicure. Not only was it as good as it gets, they gave me  a  great 20-minute massage for $5 extra while I waited for my nails to dry. I just put my head down on the leather manicure table and the therapist worked on my neck, shoulders and lower back. It was heaven.  The mani was $10, massage $5 and I left a $5 tip.

I was going back this week for a mani/pedi but came down with a cold, so have to put it off. Can’t wait, because I’ll also book that rub, it’s great while you’re waiting for your nails to dry.
