Euphoria Get's Minxed with Minx Nails



Euphoria Nail & Body Bar has officially been Minxed!







Minx nails is the new hot thing and latest trend in celebrity nails to get. Everyone in Hollywood is getting Minxed and now you can too. Having read about Minx for quite some time now, I was itching to get them on my hands and as a service in my salon. A few months ago I contacted Minx and arranged to get myself along with my top two manicurists trained in the Minx Nail application. We flew out to LA to meet West Coast celebrity manicurists and Master Minx Artist Naja Rickette. Minx nails turned out to be way cooler than we expected. The adhesive in Minx is activated by a heat lamp then applied to nails, like a sticker, they are a mess free and a green alternative to nail polish and fake tips. The nail color, which can last up to three weeks, can be removed at home by using a blow-dryer, which softens the adhesive, or by soaking in warm water -- no polish remover necessary. The great thing about this product is that it’s not nail polish so it won’t chip or peel off. Available in more than 150 styles, which run the spectrum from solid colors to sparkly metallics, zebra prints, polka dots and plaids, and it appeals in part because it requires no drying time and doesn't smudge. After a day full of training, putting the minx on….taking them off and then on again we were crowned and officially Minx artists.







Though it's still largely under the radar, Minx has been winning celebrities and celebrity fans alike since it was introduced two years ago. Since that time, Minx has exploded on to the celebrity and fashion scene. They've been popping up at red carpet events, in music videos and on the runways. BeyoncĂ© has worn Minx golden lightning for her video “Single Ladies”, the AMA award show and red carpet events. Other high-profile Minx fans include Eve, Solange, Pop Star Rhianna, Victoria Beckham, Christina Aguilera, Blake Lively, Lisa Marie Presley and her daughter Riley Keough to name a few.









Offered at select nail salons throughout the country and through top celebrity manicurists, the product finds enthusiastic fans among those who'd prefer to have their nails done in a fume-free environment. We at Euphoria Nail & Body Bar are looking forward to being one of the only salons in the Tri-Valley area to offer Minx nail designs to our clients and for $40 for minx manicures and $65 for minx pedicures, you can get Minxed too!




"Minx is for those who love to stand out from the crowd," declares Janice Jordan, Minx Chief Executive.

"For celebrities who wore Minx nails on the red carpet for the American Music Awards and the Music Rocks event, Minx opened up a whole new area of fashion. Once you've tried it, you can't go back." Victoria Beckham was 'Minxed' for her recent Birthday bash and Beyonce has been raving about her 'Minxed' nails. With hundreds of designs to choose from, Gigi Rouse says

"There is no other way anyone could apply these designs to both natural and enhanced nails in such a quick time (15 minutes). With Minx, Nail art is beautifully and tastefully done and, most importantly, affordable!!"

Experience Pure Relaxation


An immaculate set of nails, sparkling toes and flawlessly glowing skin is always guaranteed to put a smile on the face of their owner. Whether you're attending a party, a girls' night out, or simply need a bit of glitter in your life, there is a new trendy pampering bar in downtown Pleasanton to meet your everyday needs, and it doesn’t have to cost you a fortune to look and feel your best!
Euphoria Nail & Body Bar has changed the way clients are taking care of their nails and toes while still keeping the client’s pocket book in mind. With a menu of over 9 pedicures to choose from, whether you choose to treat your toes to an antioxidant-rich treatment that focuses on skin renewal and premature aging with the Green & White Tea pedicure or revive your senses and erase any aches, pain, tension and stress away with the simple pleasure of the Pure Relaxation pedicure, the choices are endless and the pampering is the BEST in town!



Jovann Walker founded Euphoria Nail & Body Bar in the spring of 2008 on the principle that everyone deserves to be pampered without breaking the bank. Walker’s idea was to create a Nail Salon/Day Spa that was midpoint between a bare bones discount nail shop, and an excessively over priced beautiful salon. She conceived of a spa-like environment that was clean and decorated with comfortable furniture and relaxing colors, coupled with innovative services at affordable prices. By turning her dream into a reality she believes she has significantly improved the lives of her clients.



“Our goal was to provide the best manicure, pedicure, and facials experience to customers with safety to our employees and clients first.” During the past few years, the nail spa industry was flooded with sub-standard salons where a routine spa’s visit had turned into a nightmare for clients. “We understand that concern, because it was a concern of mine” says owner Jovann Walker. At Euphoria Nail & Body Bar clients will be able to relax in a clean and tastefully decorated facility. “We’ve taken safety to a higher level; we’ve designed custom made jet-less foot spas with stainless steel sinks to reduce the risk of infections. These stainless steel pedicure basins are pipe-less non-whirlpool operated to prevent water and bacteria to remain in pipes in-between client use.” The utilization of hospital-grade sanitation practices are performed during and after each treatment. In addition, Euphoria has implemented an Only One Usage System for their tools. Every client is provided with a new disposable emery board, buffer, and pumice pad during their service. In addition, the reusable metal clipper, pusher, and nippers are sanitized in an autoclave after each use. Autoclaves are typically used in dental and medical offices for cleaning and sterilization of surgical tools to kill any and all bacteria. After sterilizing, the tools are then sealed into sterile pouches until the next client use. “The sterilized package of clippers & nippers are opened right in front of our customers’ eyes to confirm it’s once only usage. Also, our clients may take home the emery board, buffer, and pumice pad that were used during their visit or they will be discarded. All of this allows our clients the ability to relax and enjoy their spa experience.”



Whether clients are looking for quick and affordable treatments or luxurious pampering sessions; the choice is yours, Euphoria provides a wide selection of services that exceed your expectations. In addition to offering manicure and pedicure services, the spa also offers waxing; airbrush tanning and organic facials, Peels, and Microdermabrasion, by Eminence Organics Skincare. Eminence Organics is the 2007 American Spa Winner for the Favorite Organic skincare line. “Our clients receive a truly exquisite experience with products that are so natural that you can see the fresh fruit pulps, seeds, and smell the real herbs during their treatments. The philosophy is simple and natural, and it fits with the modern need of finding a natural skin care solution.”


Euphoria offers a unique client experience that has been un-matched by other spas. Clients can expect “little extras” for every treatment they receive all at an affordable price. They will be sure to walk away feeling completely relaxed, pampered and in a euphoric state of mind.







Euphoria Nail & Body Bar is located at 660 Main St., Pleasanton (925) 461-3009 www.euphorianailandbodybar.com
