| - Needed to get a mani/pedi so checked Yelp to see where it led me...Nelson at V Nail got some great reviews so I called to see if they could get me in right away and they said yes!
The decor inside is very spa-like, nice calm colors, quiet music, and no loud talking! LOL. I'm Chinese/Vietnamese so whenever I walk into a nail salon they are always surprised when I speak to them in Vietnamese. Most other nail salons, they talk to me nonstop, but not here, it's actually very quiet. And I did not notice a TV, which is good when you just want to close your eyes while you enjoy the massage chair.
Speaking of massage chair, they have one of the best around. I've been in many massage chairs all over San Francisco and Las Vegas...this one had to be one of the top five. It not only massaged all over my neck and back, but on the seat too so it would feel like I got a fist up my hoo-haa every now and then. Haha, okay the first time it happened I was startled but after that, it actually feels kinda good :)
Well, Nelson got to work on my feet, and gave me a nice little foot massage ( I got the regular pedi, they have a deluxe also). He did a good job of applying the polish.
We then moved to my nails, I went with the Gel French Mani. I've never had the Gel Mani before and I am not a fan of acrylics as I like to keep my nails short and natural. He cut it down to the length I wanted and got to work applying the gel. I have to say, he has a surgeons hands cause mine were shaking, but his was calm as day. He did a great job on my French manicure. And with the gel layers it dried so fast!
My only shocker was the price- guess I'm used to prices being a little lower back in SF. With the regular pedi and the gel french mani, my bill came to $73 plus tip, OUCH. Well, If I could afford it I would definitely do this on a regular...
