Just got my nails done today and it was a perfectly fine experience. Nothing fancy, no special lotions or massages. Just a no nonsense manicure. I was successfully up sold to gel polish, just because it lasts longer and I type on a computer all day at work. The lady who did my nails today also does eyebrow waxing too, and she said next time she will do my brows to make them "more sexier." Haha she was very nice and consulted with me throughout my experience. I didn't have an appointment but only had to wait about five minutes to get started.
Only reason I did not give 5 stars is because they cut cuticles :( I prefer not to have them cut, but overall it was great.
My French tip gels cost $38, including tax.
