If you’ve walked down Sunset Boulevard this June, you’ve probably noticed it.
A soft, cool wash of mint green — everywhere. On almond-shaped Gel-X sets peeking out of iced coffee cups. On glossy pedicures paired with crisp white sneakers. Mint has quietly become the color of Summer 2026 in West Hollywood.
At Queen B Nail & Hair Salon, our booking calendar tells the same story. Requests for matching mint mani-pedis have doubled since May, and we don’t see the trend slowing down anytime soon.
Here’s why mint is having its moment — and how to get the look that’s turning heads all over LA.
Mint sits in a sweet spot most trend colors miss.
It’s cool enough to feel fresh in 90-degree weather. Soft enough to work with any skin tone. Neutral enough to pair with everything from summer whites to bold sunset oranges.
Fashion houses like Miu Miu, Bottega Veneta, and Prada have all leaned into pastel greens for their Spring/Summer 2026 collections — and beauty always follows fashion.
For our West Hollywood clients, mint hits an even more specific note:
The set we’re building most often this season is a medium-length almond Gel-X in glossy mint.
Here’s why it’s the smart pick for the season:
Prefer something shorter? Mint also works beautifully on a natural-length gel manicure with a subtle rounded square edge — a favorite among clients who work with their hands.
The mani-pedi is back.
Matching your fingers and toes in the same color instantly reads as intentional and put-together. And mint makes it look effortless rather than matchy.
For the pedicure, we recommend our Russian pedicure with gel polish.
It’s a precision, dry-technique service that treats the cuticles and skin far more thoroughly than a traditional water pedicure. The result? Your toes stay smooth, clean, and polished-looking for up to four weeks.
In the summer — when sandals and pool days put your feet on constant display — that longevity matters.
Once you leave our chair, a few small habits will keep your mint set looking salon-fresh:
