| - This will be my go to spot for a mani and pedi when I am in Charlotte!! I absolutely loved everything about this place!! The staff were friendly, engaging, and helpful. When my boyfriend and I entered, we were greeted and it took less than five minutes for our services to start. This was impressive since it was a Saturday evening. The young lady that was completing my pedicure advised me that they have over 20 staff, so it's not likely there would ever be a long wait!
Since my boyfriend was getting a manicure he sat at the bar area. It is clear that this place caters to both men and women. He was so excited that they had the football game playing on every television! Additionally, they offer drink service with beer, wine, mimosas, and water options! I opted for a glass of red wine, while he enjoyed a beer.
I sat in one of the white chairs that made me feel like a princess. The chairs are truly made for you to feel like a queen, or king! Of note, the large white chairs do not offer a massage option, but do make for cute pics. They do have a number of massage chairs to the side of the bar area.
Regarding the pedicure I received, I think it was pretty thorough. She removed the current polish I had on, cut and filed my toenails, scrubbed the bottom of my feet and massaged my legs and feet. Additionally the tech told me that my big toe nail was cracked. She asked me if I wanted her to cut it or save It. She said that she could put some glue on it and file it down if I did not want it cut. It came out pretty good. You can not even see that it was cracked after she finished. One downfall is that it does appear that they need to update their polishes. I picked a color from the OPI collection. After shaking it up- it did not seem to have much content remaining. During my pedicure I did see the tech pour a liquid into the polish in an effort to extend the life of the bottle. I will see if this has an adverse effect on the life of my pedicure.
Regarding price-- the manicure was $20 and my pedicure was $25. I think it's a little over the cost of the average mani and pedi. However, I think it's worth the extra cost. You get the drink service along with stellar customer services. It's like comparing Wal-mart to Target. Yes, you can get the same thing from both, but would you pay extra for a smile, and connivence of not having to wait?? This girl will!!
