Founded in 2012 on South Coast Highway 101, 101 Nail Lounge in Encinitas's Old Encinitas district provides gel, acrylic, dipping-powder, and custom nail art alongside facial and waxing services. Gel and acrylic extension work pairs with the cut-and-color services at Station Salon & Boutique, consolidating a full beauty appointment along the same 101 corridor near the Self Realization Fellowship gardens. A 2018 interior remodel replaced all pedicure thrones, flooring, and wall finishes, upgrading the treatment environment for the high-traffic location between D Street and F Street in Old Encinitas. Dipping-powder and pink-and-white acrylic sets round out the enhancement menu, with freehand nail-art consultations adapting seasonal color palettes to individual client requests. Full-face and brow waxing services extend the menu beyond nails, sharing the precision-epilation focus that anchors the dedicated wax-and-thread protocols at Bare Waxing Studio on North El Camino Real. Acrylic full-set application uses liquid monomer and polymer powder cured under UV light, with C-curve shaping and pinching applied to the free edge before three-step buffing to a high-gloss or matte finish.
