| - Short version: Best pedi massage I've ever had. Truly a relaxing and indulgent experience. You should go at least as a treat to yourself!
Long version: was desperately looking for a place to have an organic pedicure that wasn't at a day spa where I would be charged $70+ Found them on Yelp and messaged them through the app to make my appointment. Just that interaction was great. Dee scheduled me, answered my questions, explained where I could park and told me about their tardiness policy.
The day came and I had no trouble finding where to park thanks to Dee's instructions (Harris Teeter parking deck). I pulled up to the Shops at Fifth, parked my car and walked around before noticing that there were double doors that could've taken me closer to their store front.
First impression: beautiful place, very Instagrammable! The staff? Also beautiful and very professional/courteous. They have a full menu for beverages that includes a wide selection of loose leaf teas (my fave).
I was taken to my seat and asked to choose between Lavender or Rose foot soak, I chose Lavender. I sat down and got comfortable. My tea was brought to me and my service began.
I chose the De-Rêve pedicure which includes the callus treatment and mud mask. My technician's name was "Long". He did a great job. I asked him to polish my nails all the way to the cuticle. I hate when nail techs clean the area just in front of my cuticles. I feel like it makes a fresh pedi look like my nails have already grown out.
He understood and did as I asked. Although, he did clean the area up and a left a little bit of a gap but not much.
My service took 45min to complete and I felt like a good portion was massage...which was awesome! Especially since they don't have the massage chairs like other places do...trust me, you won't miss them.
Once my service was completed, I was told to just hang out for a few minutes in my chair to allow the nails to dry. Which was fine with me because I was too relaxed to get up anyway!
If I had to give one piece of constructive criticism, and this is very much a personal preference, is that I would have liked the soles of my feet wiped before having my sandals put back on. I totally forgot to ask him to do this and I was slipping and sliding in my sandals. Again, totally my fault but I have had other nail techs wipe them off before putting on my sandals and found that much better (and safer) for me.
Truly a wonderful experience. Can't wait for my next pedi. Oh! They also have a loyalty rewards program which would come handy if you get your nails done often.
