HAMMER & NAILS, Los Angeles' First Exclusively Male Nail Salon, Opens Flagship Shop on Melrose Avenue

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- HAMMER & NAILS – The Nail Shop for Guys announces the November 9 launch of their flagship location on the famous Melrose Avenue as the first male nail shop in Los Angeles. The opening of HAMMER & NAILS offers men an attractive alternative to visiting female-centric nail salons, which can often be awkward, embarrassing and uncomfortable. Custom-designed Hand and Foot Treatments are paired with personal flat-screen TVs and headphones, premium sports channels, and complimentary beverages to create the ultimate man cave experience. Decorated with oversized leather chairs, the front-end of a classic Chevy pickup truck and a leather punching bag and gloves from the 1940's, founder Michael Elliot has spared no cost to create a relaxing escape for men in Los Angeles.

"When I first visited a traditional nail salon to treat my callused hands and feet, I felt completely like a fish out of water in a predominantly female environment," says Elliot. "I immediately saw a need for a nail shop that caters to businessmen, athletes, mechanics and men who take proper care of their appearance and hygiene. We've created a first-of-its-kind environment that is welcoming to all men by catering to their specific needs in a super-cool environment."

HAMMER & NAILS will offer custom MANicures and pedicures, as well as their signature "Repair" MANicures and pedicures for those who need a little extra hygienic attention. These treatments include nail trimming and shaping, moisturizing, callus removal, paraffin treatment and massages all designed with a man's needs in mind. Prices range from $25 to a total package of salon treatments for $80.

"Men have very different grooming needs than women and should be treated accordingly," says Elliot. "We decided to open our flagship store in Los Angeles, with all its diversity, culture, fashion and forward-thinkers. Our goal is to provide a HAMMER & NAILS experience to men across the nation in the near future."

Accepting appointments and walk-ins, HAMMER & NAILS – The Nail Shop for Guys will officially launch on November 9 at 8257 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles 90046.
