Hammer & Nails - Hand & Foot Grooming Shop

Imagine a haven where one’s most difficult decisions hinge on which channel to watch or what beverage to sip. The vibe is a luxurious one, comprised of soft leather, dark wood and steel. There is no fight for the remote and no shortage of relaxation. This is Hammer & Nails, the brainchild of Hollywood screenwriter and entrepreneur Michael Elliot, who felt out-of-place and uncomfortable in traditional female-centric nail salons. Knowing full well that he wasn't alone in his thinking, Elliot envisioned a decidedly more male-centric environment for hand and foot grooming, albeit gender-neutral. A man cave, if you will, complete with all the accouterments of comfort and luxury: Oversized leather chairs. Dark wood and low lighting that would offer solace at any time of day. Personal 32” flat-screen televisions positioned above each chair. Each client would have their own remote and set of headphones. There would not be any manicure tables or pedicure spa chairs. Hammer & Nails wouldn’t look or feel like a nail salon; its focus would be on wellness. Clients would leave this unique hand and foot grooming shop with more than just well groomed hands and feet; they would leave with healthy hands and feet.

No longer a vision, Hammer & Nails is located on iconic Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, with other locations throughout the country and the world in the works.

Though Hammer & Nails was specially conceived and created with men in mind, this unique hand and foot grooming shop is gender-neutral. Everyone is welcome. However, there a number of services that are commonplace at female-centric nail salons that you will not find at Hammer & Nails. Women are advised to view the ‘WOMEN’ page on the shop’s website for details before making their first visit.
