Yes, the hype is real (and by hype, I mean her 5 Star Yelp status)! I walked out of the salon 45 minutes ago and Debbie earned an immediate top score from me too. She's sweet, professional and very skilled. She uses the best products available (even non-acetone gel remover, so much healthier for your nail), only hand files (no dremmel) and is careful and talented.
The salon is lovely and a very comfortable environment to be in. The pedicure chairs look awesome and they use tub liners so it's a neat freak's paradise:) I'm hooked! Thanks Debbie!
