For years, Million Dollar Nails’ skilled technicians have kept clients’ hands and feet meticulously groomed. Recently, the company’s owner opened a new location in Sunset Square.

Paper lamps dangle from the new salon’s ceiling, and draperies hang between cushioned pedicure chairs, offering clients a small bit of privacy. As patrons relax here, specialists smooth their cuticles, massage their hands and feet, and exfoliate dry patches of skin. The technicians then apply polish in styles ranging from classic French manicures to edgy, electric-blue nails with gleaming metallic tips, a subtle signal to the robot overlords that you’re one of them.
