Safety

I use only top quality, professional products which have been approved for the manner in which they are used. I do not use products that contain MMA (methyl methacrylate monomer).

 

 MMA is a hazardous and unhealthful chemical present in some acrylic liquids that has been declared a "poisonous and deleterious substance" by the FDA and is considered unfit for use in fingernail products.  It is still used in the dental industry and you may hear it referred to as "dental acrylic" or"dental porcelain."

 

The health of your nails is as important to me as is their beauty. I pride myself on my dedication to providing clients with the peace of mind that comes with knowing they will not be exposed to infectious diseases, bacteria, fungi, or other contagions that can easily be avoided by simply following the State Board regulations for salon safety and sanitation.

That's why I ask each client to cleanse their hands with an antibacterial cleanser, while I do the same, before beginning any service and make sure that all implements are disinfected after each use using a state approved, hospital grade, EPA registered disinfectant. After disinfection, all implements are stored in a sealed, dust-free container to prevent contamination.

Children

It’s A Secret Salon is a "GROWN UP ZONE!"

Please arrange for a sitter during your appointment.

The salon is not an appropriate place for young children. Everything in a nail salon is either hot, sharp, or poisonous and young minds are distracted too easily while your hands are required to be on the table during your service.

For Insurance Purposes, if you arrive with children in tow, expect to have your appointment rescheduled and you will be charged for a Late Cancellation.

 

Appointments

It’s A Secret Salon is an Appointment Only Salon. We cannot accommodate Walk-ins.

Availability for weekday appointments after 5 p.m. and Saturday is extremely limited and may require being added to my waiting list.

 

Because I see clients by appointment only, time is of the essence. There is a Late Arrival Fee of $1.00/per min. for clients seated after 10 min. and SERVICES MAY BE MODIFIED in order to remain on schedule. In addition, if I am over 10 min. late seating you, I will subtract $1.00/per min. from your bill. LATE ARRIVALS MORE THAN 20 min., WILL BE CANCELED AND CHARGED THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE SERVICES SCHEDULED. (late Arrival Fees are exempt from Rewards Discounts)

 

If you are unable to honor your reservation for any reason,

Please call the Salon (310)465-8039. If I am not available, you may leave a message that will be time and date stamped.

 

It’s A Secret Salon reserves the right to charge for missed appointments and appointments canceled with less than 24 hour notice.

Late Arrivals (more than 20 min. late), Late Cancellations (less than 24 hours) and No Shows will be charged the Full Amount of the Service Scheduled.

Late arrivals, within 10 min. of appointment time, are subject to modification of service in order to remain on schedule.
