This is my second experience here and both times I have left pleased with the work done.
The ladies are efficient but not rushed and the atmosphere is calm. There is not as much chatter as I find in other Asian salons where ladies yell back and forth. I was in and out of there in an hour without an appointment which was great. I also went around 11am on a Saturday. The establishment is bright, clean and open.
I got a regular manicure and a spa pedicure that was listed as $40 and they also removed my shellac for a total bill of $45.
The pedicure was done by a smiley lady who put some muscle into the foot rub that accompanied a hot water feet soak, exfoliating scrub and the moisturizer she used smelt great. She took her time with the toes and even use a hand grater-looking implement to smooth my heels and the bottom of my feet as I did a lot of walking on vacation lately.
The manicure was done by a different girl who was less smiley, but no less professional or efficient. She also did this hand massage thing that really relaxed my hands as she pulled at the joints or something, I don't know but it felt great and I was pleasantly surprised. The manicure was standard. I thought their colour selection could have more variety, but I always stick to basic colours so what do I know. My manicure didn't come out perfectly but I fault the nail polish more so than the actual work done. Tried a different brand than my usual essie/OPI and it dried a little unevenly. I also kept moving my hands during drying process so I take some responsibility. Due to my twitchy hands I also nicked one of the nails which the girl quickly fixed upon request which I appreciated.
All in all, I'm happier with the pedicure than the manicure. I would return as I like the efficiency and no frills approach as I'm not the type to want to linger about for nails. However, I do think the price is a little high to warrant becoming a regular.
