| - Ever had one of those odd days, where you find yourself with a couple hours of free time far from home and absolutely NO idea what you will do with it? That was me last week. I took a day off of work to give a friend a hand with something and saving a very long story, found myself with an afternoon free of work and kids. What to do!?! After about 5 minutes of debating - home to take care of bills, meals, groceries, kid stuff OR lunch and mani-pedi (guilty mom syndrome ensued)... I decided to do a "me" afternoon. :-)
I visited Nails Show, again. Why? Because my first experience there was so positive, and it was in the south part of the valley, where I happened to be at the time. The experience was much like my first.
I called, they said to come in. The place was quiet, after all it was a Tuesday afternoon at 2pm. 3 males were playing cards at a nail station, and one lady did my nails. She worked miracles on my feet, getting those callouses down. She ASKED as she trimmed and shaped my nails "does this hurt", "is this OK"? which i appreciated, in light of reading other salon reviews where people complain that workers don't seem to pay attention to such things.
Still sitting in the pedi chair, she followed with my manicure. She began to trim and file my nails square, and i asked for oval. She immediately corrected them, shaping them beautifully, just the way i asked.
I was there for a total of 65 minutes, and left with a top-notch mani-pedi for around $30 before tip.
NOTE-- this is not a swishy "pretty" salon- it's a basic neighborhood nail joint that is clean and efficient. Don't expect glitter and glamour. You will sit in a comfy chair, watch a little afternoon network TV. You will not be served Perrier or Evian. If you want a GREAT technically superior mani-pedi, this is the place to go.
