Bellacures, a high-end nail salon in West Los Angeles and Beverly Hills just expanded to Orange County. Founder Samira Asemanfar has already garnered a loyal following of fans for bringing her nail salon concept of supreme attention to cleanliness and spa like services to Laguna Beach and Balboa Island.
At Bellacures, each manicure and pedicure service starts with new sterilized tools for each client and a disposable pouch with new files, buffers, and all other supplies. And unlike many nail salons, Bellacures does not use whirlpool spa chairs for pedicures to avoid spreading bacteria and infections. You can opt to have luxury services like an exfoliating walnut scrub manicure ($29), a microdermabrasion manicure ($33) designed as an anti-aging treatment and to increase circulation; or with the winter season, the dry hand and nail therapy manicure ($30) will make your hands feel moisturized and revitalized. The manicure includes Bellacures butter cream, grapeseed or almond oil and a hot mitten treatment.
If you’re tired of having nail polish peel and chip so quickly, definitely go for the Gelicure Manicure ($50) where a Gelish product is cured on your nails and gives spectacular results, no-chipping and a glossy finish. The product goes on like nail polish, is available in stylish pastels, and a full range of other hot colors, and can last up to two weeks.
Open 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Sunday.
301 Marine Ave. Suite B in Newport Beach. 949.226.7496.
226 Ocean Ave. in Laguna Beach. 949.281.7331.
