Well-manicured gents have yet another option for pampering the tips of their phalanges. Joining fellow men's hands and feet haven Hammer & Nails is mr. nail lounge, now offering manicures and pedicures on the west end of Melrose Avenue near uber luxe boutique Maxfield and Helmut Lang's minimalist cool installation shop in West Hollywood's Design District.

Boasting a "James Bond-meets SLS [Hotel]" vibe, the classy 800-square-foot space offers seven luxe leather chair stations and a range of geared-for-guys services, from the basic business mani for $27 to the Gold Treatment (mani/pedi, callus removal, 10-minute mini massage and a complimentary drink) for $50 to the Black Card Treatment (everything above, plus nail buff and parafin wax finishing) for $107. As far as the gratis booze goes, guests can sip on their choice of bourbon, rye or whiskey while they tune into one of the many flat screen TVs in the salon. Nice.

Mr. Nail Lounge is open Wednesday to Friday from 11am to 7pm, Saturday from 10am to 6pm and Sunday from 12pm to 5pm; closed Monday and Tuesday.
