After building a reputation for indulgent mani-pedis and intricate nail art at Karyn’s Salon, nail artist Tina Starr established her own space within the salon focused exclusively on nailcare. To begin the hot-oil manicure, the stylist trims talons and buff cuticles, and invites newly shaped fingertips to recline in an aromatherapy-infused soak. A scrub combines exfoliating sugar with moisturizing oil to leave skin as soft as a silk worm’s pajamas before a paraffin dip seals in moisture and a hot-oil massage and hot-towel treatment whisk away all remnants of stress. A slick of Shellac polish, stocked in a rainbow of hues, can last for up to two weeks without chipping. The body-friendly nail polish comes off in minutes, and is free of formaldehyde, DBP, toluene, and slingshots.

Those opting for the deluxe pedicure recline on a deeply cushioned chair in a semiprivate room. The pedicure treatment indulges feet with the same care as the hot-oil manicure, supplemented by an additional pumicing to remove stubborn rough spots or covert tickle monsters from soles.
