Sarah Gibson Tuttle
I couldn’t be more excited to have Sarah Gibson Tuttle as our inaugural Q+A! Not only is she the founder of Olive & June, but she’s the best kind of woman — the type who empowers others. She was one of the first to join forces with Sous Style (swoon) for the #HandleWithCare campaign, Alli Webb of Dry Bar is her new neighbor (more on that later) and she strives to make women feel their best every day.
Named for her grandmother and great-grandmother, Olive and June is this city’s go-to nail salon. Located in Beverly Hills, the establishment is clean, modern, sophisticated, accessible and comfortable (What more could you ask for?).
Gibson Tuttle curates beautifully-hued polishes that are of high and long lasting quality (eg. RGB, Deborah Lippmann), she treats her technicians with respect and she features only the best skin products for her clients hands + feet, but most importantly — her clients are like her family. Everyone’s preferences are archived so when you walk in, the technicians know exactly how you like it. You feel special.
Without further adieu, let’s get to know the woman behind Olive and June!
