Jekyll & Hyde

By day, the place is open for manicures and pedicures, and by night, it is a swish bar specializing in gin cocktails. It’s an industrial chic set up, with lots of cold concrete, but that’s balanced with warm dark wood furnishings. Nail services here are done by Manicurious, with a classic mani priced at $30 and a pedicure at $40. Perfect for getting dolled up before a night out on the town.

Manicurious

Manicurious is a retail space, cafe and nail bar that showcases art, fashion and beauty. While the cafe offers handcrafted coffee and the retail section stocks an eclectic mix of indie chic products, it’s the nail bar that’s really intriguing. Fans of manicures (from $15 each) will love its creative ability to turn any design-—from a bag pattern to a quirky necklace—into nail art (from $3 a nail).

Nail Alcove

This warm and cozy spot makes you feel you’ve just stepped into someone’s home. If you’re in a hurry, go for the Express Manicure ($12) or Express Pedicure ($16), which offers basic services like shaping, buffing and coloring—you’ll be in and out of the salon in less than an hour. If you’re looking for something a little more luxe, treat yourself to the Classic Manicure ($28) or Classic Pedicure ($38), which comes with an additional foot file and scrub, massage and cuticle care. Or, try the salon’s signature Organic Wild Thyme Foot Scrub ($10), an add-on treatment that reinvigorates tired feet.

Pink Parlor

At this pink-and-black boudoir-like setting, different types of manicures and pedicures are available. Some are more classic, others more offbeat. The Snow White Manicure ($66, 90 minutes) is one of their hotsellers, where a sugar scrub removes dead skin. Hands are then cleansed and masked with whitening essential oils from Paris. After a massage, OPI color is applied. You’ll then be looking at a softer, lily-white pair of hands.
