LOLLIPOP NAIL STUDIO EXPANDS SERVICES + OPENS LARGER SPACE AT THE CAMP


WHERE ORGANIC AND GLOSSY MEET

The New Studio Offers Organic + Healthy Mani-Pedi’s, Eco-Friendly Polishes, Scrubs, Soaks + More

Costa Mesa, CA –
Lollipop Nail Studio, a chic, organic nail studio that is dedicated to natural, organic products and services, is proud to announce its new Orange County location at the CAMP. 

Tripling its space from the original store, Lollipop is not only growing to accommodate more Orange County women, men and children seeking its signature, organic manicures and pedicures but also adding to its services thanks to the movement towards non-toxic beauty treatments. From nourishing, water-based nail polish to lotions, scrubs and soaks made in-house of only the freshest organic ingredients, Lollipop strives to make getting a mani-pedi as safe, luxurious and enjoyable as possible.

With mid-century lounge treatment chairs embroidered with the Lollipop logo and a vintage bamboo sofa where clients are offered treatments, the large, bright space also features several large tables where classes and parties can be accommodated.  A vintage candy display that now showcases Lollipop’s organic and natural recipe ingredients, welcomes clients as does the smell of the four essential elements used in the studio’s signature manicures and pedicures: almond, rose, camellia and geranium.

Inspired by Jackie Dalton’s young daughter to offer a nail salon free of chemicals, owners Jackie Dalton, an FIDM alum and former designer and boutique owner, and Hope Allen, an actress, launched Lollipop Nail Studio in September 2012.   “We feel so blessed to have grown so much in a year,” says Dalton. “People are just learning about all the nasties in nail polish and cosmetics and have embraced our fresh mani/pedi experience. Our clients are often surprised to see all of these gorgeous nail colors in formulations that are much healthier for you.”

HEALTHIER NAIL POLISH: Offering nourishing nail polish that is safe for your skin in a wide variety of shades and colors, the treatments are safe for adults and kids alike. Lollipop has grown its offerings of non-toxic nail polish that are free of Toluene, DBP, formaldehyde and camphor, including:
·         SpaRitual, which is a vegan, 5-free line of polish that has great lasting power and incredible, saturated colors.
·         Hopscotch Kids, a line of non-toxic water-based polish for kids and kids at heart, which is safe for little fingers and has a really quick drying time for children since they usually can't sit still very long. They’ve got great, bright colors that kids really love.
·         Scotch, another line offered at Lollipop, is also water-based and has a more sophisticated range of colors. 
·         Zoya polishes have also gotten a great response from the customer looking for healthier nail polish.

NEW ORGANIC APOTHACARY PRODUCTS + CLASSES: Striving to ensure a teaching environment, educating clients on healthier beauty options, Lollipop will also soon offer classes on how to make your own scrubs and oils. Also, Lollipop’s artful apothecary, where signature products are mixed to match treatments and needs, is the inspiration behind a soon-to-be launched product line using the finest quality organic ingredients.

PARTIES: Lollipop’s loyal clientele frequently hosts parties at the studio. Now with the new location, larger groups who want to use the studio as a gathering space to host events and parties, including bridal, birthday, fashion and charity, can be accommodated.

SIGNATURE LOLLIPOP NAIL STUDIO MANICURES AND PEDICURES: For each service, Lollipop sterilizes all stainless steel tools, and uses only brand-new files, sticks and buffers, as well as new liners for each pedicure. Manicures are waterless, performed with hot towels and custom-created oils.

Prices start at $25 for an adult manicure, $35 for an adult pedicure; $15 for a child manicure and $15 for a child pedicure.  

HOURS AND LOCATION: Lollipop Nail Studio is now open Monday-Saturday 10:30 am to 7 pm; Sunday 11 am to 5 pm at the CAMP, 2937 Bristol Street, in Costa Mesa, CA. The studio can be contacted by calling 714.444.0330.
