Used a Groupon coupon today for a gel manicure and spa pedicure. My Groupon clearly stated work would be completed by a student as well as numerous signs within the establishment indicated the same. This was clearly a teaching facility, which was no problem for me. The area was clean and within an older building with equipment geared for teaching. Don't expect a North Scottsdale atmosphere, this is a teaching facility. All students were well groomed and very pleasant. An instructor oversaw all work completed by the students, checking in frequently during the course of my visit. My technician, Lin, did an excellent job and completed both mani & pedi within 75 mins. There was more than ample selection of polish, both gel and regular. I found only a handful (less than five) of bottles at half full. I received a scrub type massage as well as a lotion massage to both hands and feet. I would certainly recommend this establishment and I have scheduled an appointment on 9/5 to use my remaining Groupon. My experience was better than expected from a teaching facility.
