Editorial Review for Ripsy's Nail Salon – by Andrea Rademan
The Scene
Why do celebrity clients such as Jada Pinkett and Will Smith, Steve Martin and Ringo Starr treat themselves to manicures in this small, spare room overlooking a quiet courtyard? The appeal is Ripsy's personal attention, expert care and warm personality.
The Services
A former violinist, Ripsy Alexanian knows that hand care is more than merely a cosmetic issue. She restores and repairs nails with traditional, painless Chinese techniques. The routine begins with an exfoliating scrub and an individually blended masque for the skin, followed by reflexology to ease sensitive areas. Then comes a soak in energizing crystals, cuticle care with a special pumice stick and moisturizer to nourish the nail root. Ripsy shapes each nail according to its natural contours to maximize strength.

While shopping near her location, I decided to give Ripsy a try , after what I had heard about her. I could not find out much about her or her place, since she has no website. However she was very very nice, and new her work well, but for the wait time (being a small place), and for the price, I'll stick with l.a. vie l'orange, which while they are still a boutique, have more techs, better pricing and value, and specialize in nail growth, nail care, and can remove acrylic nails painlessly.
Pros: she knows her work
Cons: price, wait time, small location no website

I've been a client of Ripsy's for almost 10 years. I have tried other places, and have not had results like I have had with Ripsy. My nails grow strong, and beautiful, with monthly visits and personal upkeep. She's wonderful, the environment is intimate and quiet. I love going to Ripsy!
Cons: Call way ahead, because she's usually booked.
