Since I'm living on a shoestring budget I actually go through all those ridiculous Val-U-Pak coupon mailings that come out every few weeks. One of the few coupons I kept was for this place. A pedicure, manicure and eyebrow wax for $33? I'm not one to spring for a manicure, since the ol' service industry has me washing my hands approximately 5850382 times a day and polish jobs usually last a millisecond. Add that to a few 12+ hour days on my aching feet (blech) and I couldn't pass up this deal. Done and done!
The space is CLEAN, but not uninviting or sterile. No knick-knacks and tchotchkes collecting dust around weirdo lotions that are never going to be sold like in a lot of nail places. There was a wide range of OPI colors and some Orly (ORLY?!) polish as well.
Each pedicure bath is fitted with these disposable plastic bins that are disposed of between each person. Awesome for germophobes, bad for mutha erf. We'll call it even. The massage chairs are AMAZING. I honestly have never had a chair massage like this one. I had it zone in on my lower back, which has been hurting lately and it actually did some work. I know.
If I had to use one word to describe the word of the nail technicians here, it is THOROUGH. I don't I've ever received longer foot and hand/arm massages (that actually feel nice instead of all wimpy) during mani-pedi time then here. Both polish jobs were meticulous and perfect. And my girl was super nice to boot.
The brow job was great as well. I'm one of those girls who goes weeks and weeks in between waxes and everything is fine and then one day...Horror! So I was glad to take advantage of this service. The wax left me a *leetle* red, and I'm not one to be sensitive during eyebrow waxes but this honestly was nothing a little mineral powder couldn't fix.
They accept credit card tips. So convenient.
I have a few more coupons I'm sure I'll use at this place, and after those run out I'm sure I'll still be a dedicated customer!
