| - My feet have been very neglected over the past few weeks, thanks to my post-holiday exercise/hiking/climbing binge. I really wanted a pedicure but I didn't want to venture too far from home as it's been kind of cold lately (....yes, I'm Canadian, but I'm from the WARM side of the country!!). I walked into Royal Nails and Spa and was immediately struck by the shininess of the place. It was immaculate: gleaming white floors, pristine countertops and chairs, clean (whitewashed??) walls. The staff is Asian and speak passable English; they do like to speak in their native language to each other while working on their customers' nails, so if this bothers you, either speak up or hold your peace.
My regular pedicure took 45 minutes and included the standard buff, file, exfoliation, and polish. It also included a hot stone leg massage and hot towel treatment. Nice! My feet emerged from their scaly cocoon (gross, yes, but evocative image, oui?) sporting a pretty purple palette pick. :) Total cost was $25 before tip.
I'm definitely coming back!
