This was the only nail salon open on Sunday with decent reviews, and since I was starting a new job (and it was my birthday) I decided to make the 10 minute drive for some much needed pampering.
I was promptly seated at a pedicure station with Jimmy (I like how they told me his name; it made the experience more personal). He brought me a cold bottle of water, a variety of magazines and showed me a detailed service list. And yes, the hot stone massage made ALL the difference for $3 extra. My pedi looks perfect.
I had a basic manicure and Jimmy thoroughly shaped my nails, trimmed my cuticles, and painted flawless French tips. I accidentally chipped a nail before paying and they kindly fixed the smudge (I HATE it when a nail tech scoffs at me for my clumsiness and impatience).
The one thing I that bothered me was when I used the restroom....there were heaps of wash cloths and hand towels soaking in the sink, preventing anyone who used the bathroom from washing their hands. This got me thinking about sanitation...do they have a washing machine? Do they do this often? Do the nail techs thoroughly wash their hands? These thoughts I don't want to entering my head while getting a beauty service.
