Finesse Nail Salon, Glendale

As a nail technician, Debbie of Finesse Nails takes pride and joy in her craft, painting nails to the specifications of each client. She can emblazon nails with rhinestone studs or spritz them with the same tattoo art inked by the first Barbary pirate manicurists. And for traditionalists, she swathes on the baby pinks and milky whites that make nails appear healthy and factory new.

Finesse Nails operates out of Salon Boutique, a collection of salons and spas that share hallways illuminated by dangling chandeliers. The space’s interior exudes a feeling of tranquility and tidiness that's otherwise seen only in architecture parks and fountains carved from soap.
