| - Very impressed by this place! My girlfriend and I were planning on brunch and some shopping, and were looking for a place with which to do our nails. Can't miss that- classic girl date activity, right? We tried at the last minute to make appointments at some place right in Old Town Scottsdale, to no avail.
She found this place on her Yelp app and said it had good reviews, and they were open! So we decided to give it a shot.
I think I have a new nail place now. Nevermind that I live way on the north side of town. I don't need to do a pedicure all that often, anyway! It's in a quiet little strip mall, tucked on the north side of Indian School road, closer to Mclintock than Rural. If you weren't looking you'd probably miss if. And if I remember right it doesn't even say "Pro Nails by Julie" on the sign. Just "Pro Nails".
When you step inside, you'll notice it's lovely, in a sort of splash various shades of baby and hot pink everywhere sort of way. Very clean and new, and spacious. There are TONS of pedicure chairs lined up along both walls, and there wasn't a shortage of nail technicians to take care of us. They pay attention to the small details, like having disposable liners in each of the foot baths. Orange slices float in the hot water. (Orange slices! Really!! Am I too bourgeois, since I'm so impressed by this??)
They advertise that they only have a $23 spa pedicure and a $33 spa pedicure, but in reality they have many grades in between. After I sat down I was handed a laminated sheet that had different grades. I remember getting the $28 one- I believe it came with a scrub and some other nice things, but I don't think it had a paraffin wax massage or anything super fancy. So know that you can really pick and choose how much you want to be pampered.
They have a great range of nail colors that are very much up to date- I was able to get the Liquid Sand nail polish in the shade Jynx from the Bond Girls collection for my toes. It is fairly recent, I believe. Recent enough and popular enough that I couldn't find it in two Ulta stores I went to- I loved the color so much I wanted to try and purchase it. No luck there.
My tech was very quick, but very good. I was done much faster than both my girlfriend and a really sweet lady chatting with us on my other side. The rest of the experience was pretty standard. You're led to a foot drier- they gave me those little rubber flip flop things as the only pair of sandals I have would ruin a too-fresh pedi. What can I say? I'm not a flip flop sort of girl at all. I paid and tipped both with my card, and you can even get a frequent flier punch card, which I still have.
All in all, probably the best pedicure place I've been to in the greater Phoenix area. I'll be back.
