Waxman Staff Writer Sep 25, 2015 8:55 PM UTC A nail salon in Orange County, California, recently started offering a diamond manicure that can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $25,000 — or more, depending on what type of GIA-graded diamonds the customer picks. For these appointments, Images Luxury Nail Lounge is closed to other customers. A jeweler is brought in to present a selection of diamonds that the client can choose from. Champagne is served, and pampered patrons can elect to have an hour-long massage, facial, makeover, eyelash extensions or a waxing and threading service as well.
