Originally, I was going to give Sekai a 4. It seemed really hot when I went in, and they didn't have the usual chairs with the tub below, but just a plastic lines bucket that they fill.
But I had my mani/pedi on Tuesday and it's now Saturday and there's not a chip in sight. What??? Regular polish and I handle silverware every day, which is notorious for making nails chip. My dishwasher also broke and I had to handwash dishes for the rest of the week.
As you can see, the acid test for me is how smooth and even my mani/pedi is and how long it lasts. On this front, Sekai did a remarkable job. There's nothing worse than paying for someone to make your nails look great and the next day (or often even later that night, they chip.) Lately, I've been to a lot of places that really fail on both these fronts and it's kept me from going for regular visits.
The girls who did my feet and hands were very professional and friendly. The receptionist was great on the phone, fitting me in for a simultaneous mani/pedi within the hour. Everything inside the salon looked clean and fresh. The best part? $40.00 for a great thorough mani/pedi. With tax it comes to $47, and i always leave a nice tip. But it's a good price for a proper job.
This was a great experience and I think I found my new place to get my nails did :)
