Studio 9 by Diem in Encinitas operates as a private nail studio inside Suite 108 at 142 North El Camino Real, offering appointment-only service for customized manicure and pedicure work. The single-artist format allocates 60-plus minutes per set for intricate freehand nail art, structured gel overlays, and precision cuticle sculpting, running on the same appointment-only model that Drybar Encinitas uses for blowout styling on El Camino Real. Gel-polish applications, builder-gel extensions, and custom hand-painted designs comprise the core menu, with each set tailored during a one-on-one consultation before application begins. The studio's single-chair layout provides the same private-suite atmosphere that Flora Blanc Nail & Lash Studio uses to combine nail and lash artistry in a focused, dedicated setting. Each gel-extension application uses a dual-form tip molded to the natural nail curve with a builder-gel infill cured under LED and finished with a no-wipe topcoat for a glass-finish surface requiring no post-cure buffing.
