| - Got a gel manicure and a regular pedicure. They do offer refreshments, including wine, which I appreciate. Pricing was standard I would say, about $65 for both.
Though massage chairs are always nice, I worry about proper cleaning procedures being adhered to in order to avoid the spread of bacteria. Therefore, I liked that they used liners in the foot soak tub portion of the chairs. They also offer a good variety of pedicure "types," allowing one to pay a little extra for extra pampering. My pedicure was great.
My gel manicure was not that great. It had "bubbles" around the nail edge the very next day. (Unfortunately, as I was leaving for a west coast wedding the next day, I had no opportunity to go back and see if they would correct the issue.)
My mani was peeling within a few days, which I have never had happen with a gel manicure. Though I appreciated that they did not completely remove my cuticle (I hate when they get cut so short that they start peeling) I can only assume the gel polish was accidentally laid over my cuticle, allowing for air to get underneath it, and prevent the "bonding process" from completing appropriately.
As I am now stuck with gel polish on the top half of my nails, and my mani lasted less than a week, I feel this was wasted money. I apologize I do not remember the name of my technician.
I suppose I would be willing to give them a second chance on a gel manicure, but as I had seen a few reviews on here mentioning the gel mani not lasting very long, and decided to try them out anyway, I might suggest keeping track of your technician should you decide to risk it and have a good experience.
I would go back for a pedicure, or perhaps a normal manicure.
