I've been to Philip Pelusi twice, once before for a hair blow and yesterday I went for a manicure.
I must say that both times I received a descent service, although I wouldn't say I was over the moon about them.
Their manicure is priced reasonably for a salon, you can get a gel Mani for 25$. What they don't tell you though is that they charge 10$ to remove your current gel!! I was annoyed since, well, they told me that at the check out, and that almost any other salon I've been to waives the gel removal charge when you are getting a gel mani. With the unexpected added charge, I don't think I'll go back here for nails. I'd be paying the same and get a much more pampering experience at nail spas.
