To be honest, we’re not 100 percent certain what the difference between dinner with some besties who happen to be women and a full-blown, five-alarm Girls’ Night Out is, but we have a suspicion it has something to do with the presence of margaritas…and perhaps some sexy manicured nails.

Whether we’re correct or not, planning a night (or day) out with your lady crew in Woodland Hills just got a little easier thanks to this list of places that are generally fun, mostly not impossible to get an appointment or reservation with, and that offer – in the case of Freda’s Pizza, Corner Grille and Lane 33 Bar and Grill – menus to keep the whole group happy.

The consumption of tequila until you’re stumbling on your sky-high stilettos is entirely up to you.

Indulge in a Relaxing Facial at Your Local Spa

We can’t think of anything more feminine or, as they say, “girly-girl,” than visiting the spa for a relaxing facial and/or skin treatment, and in Woodland Hills, there are no shortages of such spas…the key is finding the right one for your get-together. The female members of the Woodland Hills Magazine staff can wholeheartedly recommend Skintuition, located at 20969 Ventura Boulevard Suite 19, where a multitude of premium, unforgettable services such as facials, massage therapy, infrared body wraps, waxing and more await you and your distinguished ladies. The brainchild of a professional esthetician who brings 23 years of experience to the business – and who has been a certified colon-hydro therapist for 16 years – Skintuition sits near the charming French Quarter district of Woodland Hills, with spa services available Monday through Sunday all year long except for select holidays. Appointments are necessary to guarantee availability.

Order Some Takeout

If the girls’ night out agenda demands you and your BFFs spend the evening in wearing some pajamas and binging on reruns of your favorite soap opera, accompany the moment with some delicious takeout. There’s nothing better than pizza for a get-together with some friends, and Freda’s, located at 3835 East Thousand Oaks Boulevard in Westlake Village, has you covered…no matter what the craving entails. Responsible for some of the best pizza in town and offering dishes cooked from the heart with the very best of ingredients, Freda’s will entice you with specialties like the Spicy Pepperoni and Peppers slice, Potato Bacon slice, Margherita Pizza and Fungi Truffle Pizza. Gluten-free options are available, and the restaurant is open every day at 11:30 am.

Corner Grille, situated at 21853 Ventura Boulevard, is another great takeout/delivery choice if Asian Fusion or Korean Barbecue is on the agenda. Established in 2016 and bringing folks with over 27 years of experience cooking and running multiple restaurants to the table, Corner Grille serves the famous Kalbi Burger and Korean BBQ Fries alongside its long-time favorite Korean Barbecue specialties. The eatery makes its own dressings, slices its own chicken and beef daily, shreds its own cabbage several times a day, makes its own breaded fish for its famous tacos, cooks the barbecue and fried to order, and makes the burgers and wings on-premises. Open daily at 10:30 am and closed on Sunday.

Release Your Inner Diva

Karaoke amongst friends is one of the most exciting things to do – with or without the aforementioned tequila searing through your blood to give you some liquid confidence – and Woodland Hills boasts some of the best spots in the entire Golden State wherein you and the girls can unleash your inner Taylor Swift. Case in point: Lane 33 Bar and Grille, located inside Winnetka Bowl at 20122 Vanowen Street in Winnetka, where a fun and exciting karaoke night experience awaits, regardless of singing level prowess. From great service and sociable, engaging bartenders to cool events like Tuesday Trivia Nights – to say nothing of the incredible “bar bites” like quarter-pound hot dogs, polish sausages, corn dogs, and more – Lane 33 Bar and Grille makes for a unique option on the ever-evolving girls’ night out circuit. Open daily from 12 pm to 12 am the next day, except for Sundays when the venue opens at 10 am.

Get Your Manicure On

Of course, no female bonding experience would be complete without the proverbial manicure and/or pedicure, and, like the facial spas we talked about earlier in this roundup, Woodland Hills is replete with nail salons for even the most sophisticated of Los Angeles women. For the ultimate girls’ day out, our staff recommends two such salons, starting with Green Lovers Nail Boutique, located at 20969 Ventura Boulevard Suite 16, where the notion of providing a harmoniously healthy and natural salon environment couples with the goal to deliver beauty and healing benefits via available treatments, culminating in a place where you and the girls can escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Relax your body and mind at Green Lovers because, after all, it’s your “me-time,” as you choose from such menu items as the Classic nail service, Signature nail service, Luxe nail service, Mommy-to-Be nail service, Healing nail service, Milk-Honey nail service, Ultimate Pedi and GEL Color Nails service. Open Monday through Sunday from 9:30 am to 7 pm.

The aptly-named Finger Nails, meanwhile, located at 23001 Ventura Boulevard, will pamper you and your fellow besties from nails to toes, whether you’re looking for sexy acrylics, a gel mani/pedi, gel extensions, or just a classic manicure. Gearing up to attend a lavish wedding or bachelorette party after your girls’ day trek? Indulge in some eye-catching rhinestone nail art, expertly applied by Finger Nails’ expert staff. When attention to detail is at the top of your priority list, no salon in Woodland Hills comes close. Open daily from 9 am to 7 pm, closed Sunday.

Grab your girls and take the town by storm – there’s no better place to catch up with the babes than L.A. The aforementioned suggestions in Woodland Hills are sure to impress the whole squad…just be sure to leave the boys home.
