The studio

One chair, one client, no rush

Juniper is a small studio in Long Beach, California. Maya is the only nail technician, which shapes everything about how a visit works.

“I started Juniper because I wanted to work the way I like being treated — one person at a time, unhurried, in a room that's quiet if you want it quiet.”

“The honest downside of working alone is that I can't answer messages while my hands are busy. People used to wait hours to hear whether Thursday evening was free. So my whole calendar lives here now: what you can see is genuinely open, and taking it confirms it straight away.”

“After every appointment I keep 15 minutes to reset the table and tools. You'll never see that block, but it's why your time is properly yours.”

— Maya, owner and nail technician
