An acclaimed Dallas-area nail studio is now delivering manis and pedis straight to customers' doors: MiniLuxe has launched a digital platform called MiniLuxe Anywhere for nail services to-go in DFW.

"We are thrilled to be expanding the reach of Miniluxe Anywhere in the Dallas metropolitan area," says Ting Ting Guo, GM Head of MiniLuxe Anywhere. "We hope our new digital platform will better serve the local audience by making nailcare more accessible and convenient, anywhere they are.”

Services offered include:

No-Polish, Basic, Signature, and Gel Manicures ($25-$50)
No-Polish, Basic, Signature, and Gel Pedicures ($36-$60)
Add-ons like callus treatments, French finish, deluxe massage, performance polish, and gel polish removal ($10-$15).

Customers book directly through the MiniLuxe Anywhere portal.

Up to three guests can be booked per appointment — for the same nail designer or multiple designers for an additional fee. (Note that gratuity is not included in the quoted price, and 25 percent will be added automatically after the service, per the website.)

Group bookings for parties and showers can be made by emailing anywhere@miniluxe.com or submitting an event request form.

Currently, the MiniLuxe Anywhere service is available in within 30 miles of the Dallas city limits, and specifically in Plano, Carrollton, and Grapevine, the company says. Appointments can be booked 8 am-8 pm daily.

MiniLuxe currently has physical salon locations and studios in Highland Park, NorthPark Center, The Shops at Legacy, Uptown, and West Village (exact studio locations can be found here).

The company says MiniLuxe Anywhere is meant to be an extension of the hygienic, high-quality services they've become known for (using non-toxic nail polishes, for example) — especially in these post-pandemic days, when there's increased awareness of health and safety concerns.

"With consumer safety and nail tech empowerment at the forefront of each salon, MiniLuxe is setting the standard of what every salon experience should be (even from the comfort of your own home!) in an effort to overhaul the nail industry as a whole," the company says in a release. "MiniLuxe combines pioneering clean salon standards, including non-toxic services and products, surgical grade sanitized instruments, no-circulating whirlpool pedicure baths, as well as market-driven standards including prioritization of nail health, safety and hygiene, and an emphasis on fostering nail artist’s creativity and wellness."

A Clear Choice

Texas designer Consuela launches clear handbags that are stadium approved

These bags fashionably comply with stadium rules.

Transparency is key for a new stadium-friendly product line by Texas handbag brand Consuela. The new collection recreates the brand's top-selling silhouettes in a clear material that makes them easy to carry at venues with strict handbag policies and long security lines.

This is the first time the Austin-based company has produced clear bags, press materials say.

Each clear Consuela bag has a bit of personality thanks to a printed, opaque strip of material across the top and a colorful strap that's interchangeable for different carrying styles: wearing the bag crossbody, on the shoulder, or as a clutch.

Leather accents also elevate each piece, which contains interior pockets, a credit card holder, and a removable piece that gives the base structure or, when it's removed, allows the bag to collapse.

With three shapes and three patterns or colorways on the nine bags that comprise the collection. The largest style is 11 inches by nine and a quarter inches, with a three-inch depth. Two smaller styles are more clutch-sized.

The top material can show off a colorful paisley-like design, leopard print, or an understated cream leather to match the rest of the trim.

The new collection ($125-$235) is available now at consuelastyle.com. Local retailers selling Consuela bags can be found through the brand's store locator.
