JESSICA
In 1969, Jessica Vartoughian opened the doors to the world’s first nails only salon.
Set on Sunset Boulevard and a favourite with First Ladies, screen sirens and socialites, Jessica's success was founded on one simple principle; ‘All nails are not alike!’
She was the first to recognise that, like skin and hair, nails also needed to be treated according to their type, and went on to develop the prescriptive products to do just that.
Starting with a base coat for every nail need, her range includes hand and cuticle care, vitamin enriched custom colours, extra glossy top coats with many other essentials to help maintain the health of the natural nail. Together with her innovative techniques, the Jessica system has elevated nail services to beauty treatments in their own right.
GELeration
It was 2010 and women wanted even more from their manicures - a finish that could outlast the most demanding lifestyle.
So listening to the feedback of spas, salons and manicure lovers, Gerrard International teamed up with Jessica to introduce GELeration - the beauty of Jessica, with the strength of a gel.
Available in Jessica’s best-selling shades, GELeration delivers a high shine, chip free finish for up to three weeks. Working alongside the Jessica system, GELeration is designed to continue to protect the natural nail - from application, to wear and soak-off removal.
Loved by manicurists for its ease of use, by clients for the lasting results and by beauty journalists for standing up to their rigours of everyday life, GELeration has proven a must-have addition to spa and salon services.
