Every high-end nail salon owes a debt to Jessica Vartoughian, who opened her West Hollywood “nail clinic” back in 1969.  She says it was the first nail-only salon in the world, a claim no one is disputing. Now, after a 14-month renovation, her Sunset Plaza atelier is back in business, with a more modern look, an expanded menu of services that includes facials, eyebrow grooming and waxing, and Phenom Polish, a new line of fast-drying lacquers. jessicatheclinic.com
