I live in the east valley and was a part of the Shellac craze because I didn't want to commit to acrylic nails. I went to a couple of places and for some reason the Shellac would always pull away from my nails at the end. One place even let me leave with have of it pulled away. I started searching for places and came across Polished Nail. I have never been anywhere else since. The drive is worth it because my nails last three weeks plus.
The owner Michelle is my master technician and she is professional, courteous, and does some of the best nails I have ever seen. She does a really good job of explaining the products, services, and how they implicate your nails for the long term. Then you can make an educated decision on what you want for your life style. She really cares about preserving your nails and applying / removing any products with kid gloves. Every time I get my nails done, I receive compliments from multiple people. I started with Shellac, went to gel, and ended up going acrylic because I am so hard on my nails but everyone is different. I am looking at them as I type and they are fabulous.
I haven't tried the pedicures yet but they have multiple packages and one with rose petals in the water. Roses? Yes please...... You can ensure the tools are clean and they change out the tub of water with each pedicure using disposable lining buckets.
