Paulene Nails is a no-nonsense, basic place in my neighborhood filled with super friendly women. I pop in for $20 pedicure and have always been super pleased. (Stone massages! Come on. How can you go wrong with that?)
Remember one key thing:
Bring cash for the tip!
I forgot once and they LET ME GO HOME to get the cash. No joke. Just like that. "No problem. Don't rush."
This would never happen back east.
So I come back as a regular. These gals are wonderful. If you're looking for a salon/spa experience bring earbuds, tune in to the sounds of crashing waves, close your eyes and imagine one.
For my most recent one footed pedi (I'm sporting a cast) I didn't think to ask for a discount. After all, it's their time I'm booking. But no! They totally cut me a deal.
Great place!
