| - I spent quite a bit of time looking online for the "right" salon that I would take my daughter who was visiting for a few days from Portland. We both had manicures, and she also had a pedicure. I really had no idea what the Pampered Pinkie would look like! It was adorable, and everyone was so friendly beginning with the receptionist whom I spoke with on the phone and then met when we went to the salon. From the outside, the Pampered Pinkie looks like a regular home, but inside is transformed into a cute, and hip place. They have hair products for sale, unique cards (I bought 2), jewelry and other items.
My nail technician, Christina, was a delight to meet! Very personable, and took time to ask about the kind of nail shape I preferred. I have a nail person I go to regularly, yet I never could well-articulate the kind of nail shape I preferred. I told Christina that this was the best manicure I have ever had! I do not use polish on my nails, so Christina buffed to a fine shine that lasted several days. I chose the Le Petit Manicure and was very pleased with the results!
My daughter's nail technician, Wendy was warm and kind... did great polishing on daughter's nails and toes. Daughter had the Le Pinkie Manicure and chose a beige polish, and the Le Petit pedicure with a white polish. She was pleased with both!!! And, I thought both looked great!!!
Our only concern was with a client who was at Pampered Pinkie while we were there who was quite vocal and loud about political issues. My daughter and I thought the nail technician might have been more diligent to steer the conversation in a different direction. We found the conversation to be annoying and took away from our relaxing time.
I highly recommend the Pampered Pinkie... they not only offer nail services but also hair and brow threading/waxing... I would certainly go there again. Both Christina and Wendy are excellent folks to meet self-maintenance needs!!! And, in such a cute environment!!!
