With increasing fear of the toxicity that accompanies nail salons, consumers have been left to take matters into their own hands, literally. But with the opening of POLISHBAR in Los Angeles, beauty warrior Christine Rhoades lays these fears to rest by providing a safer, salon experience, just in time for the New Year.

Rhoades is a frequent salon visitor who decided to look into the products being used on her hands and feet. She was shocked to learn about the toxic chemicals often found in polishes, lotions, and other beauty care products, which can cause illness. “The idea for POLISHBAR came to me when I couldn’t ignore the chemicals I was exposing myself to or the fumes that I was inhaling, but wasn’t ready to give up my weekly mani/pedi routine,” Rhoades said. “I wanted to create a space, where consumers can get polished without worry.”

After months of researching the safest products, Rhoades has designed POLISHBAR with the customer in mind. It utilizes the safest products and brands, from non-toxic lotion, 5 free polish, and soy based nail polish remover, down to towels washed in Honest Co. detergent. POLISHBAR also offers a relaxed, low-odor, and clean (POLISHBAR sterilizes all tools in an autoclave) experience; pull a seat up to the bar, grab a complimentary organic wine, and prepare to be polished!
