The Beauty Experience

For the gentlemen

Hair and nails, without the fuss.

The Beauty Experience serves men as well as women in Philadelphia and the surrounding area. Short natural hair, locs, twists and braids, and the full nail side of the studio — manicures, pedicures, polish and every enhancement Chinky offers. One guest at a time, private studio, by appointment.

For the gentlemen

Men are welcome here.

The Beauty Experience is not a women-only room. Come in for your hair, your nails, or both. It is one guest at a time in a private studio, so there is no audience and no fuss — just clean, careful work and a chair that is yours for the appointment.

Natural hair care

  • Wash and condition, with proper scalp care
  • Blow out and style — pressed smooth or left natural
  • A trim when you need one
  • Locs retwisted and styled
  • Two-strand twists
  • Braids and cornrows, including feed-in

Nails & manicures

  • A proper manicure — nails shaped, cuticles cared for, hands tidied up
  • A pedicure with the same care
  • Gel polish or regular polish
  • A polish change when you just want a refresh
  • Acrylic, color acrylic, dip powder, builder gel and poly gel if you want length or strength
  • Nail art — one clean accent, or something more if you like

Waxing

  • Eyebrow waxing, shaped and tidied
  • Chin and jawline waxing
  • Lip waxing
  • Arm or leg waxing, if you want it smooth

Do not see what you are after? Just ask. If it is a hair or nail service and it is not written here, tell Chinky what you want and she will say whether she does it, how long it takes and what it costs.
