| - I was in a rush and needed a fill and pedi for the Janet Jackson concert and my usual nail spot across the street told me there would be a 30-40 minute wait, on a Monday night no less and unfortunately this has been happening regularly with them lately. Luckily, during my last shopping trip at Sprouts, I noticed a new nail salon opened in their shopping center. So I jumped in my car and headed over. SCORE! The pedicure I received at Nice Nails relaxed me almost immediately! I was also given a cold bottled water (a small gesture but service most salons in the area neglect to offer). The atmosphere is nice. They have a nice sitting area with cute comfortable chairs, the paint colors are inviting and spa-like. I was informed that I may have a callous, gasp! clutch my pearls! Not I! He looked closer and said, no, its not that bad and proceeded to exfoliate "it" away. Whew! Crisis averted! Upon completion my little piggies were back to being soft and pretty :) At the nail station, Diane OFFERED white powder for my french instead of paint. I said sure, but I'm in a rush. She said, "no worries". I watched her work, waiting for her to pull out the metal tool to shape them. She NEVER DID. She flawlessly, quickly, and effortlessly, sculpted white powder by hand. After conversation, I learned she is a nail tech from CA, with over 15 years of experience. She is a natural. A true NAIL TECHNICIAN. My tips were painted pink when I came in so she let me know she also has powder in different colors as well. SCORE! SCORE! I was given a free bottle of herbal massage lotion as a grand opening gift. Sorry Family Nails...you did not treat me as a "regular" and now I have found a new home! If you need a nail salon in this area, I'm telling you give this "new hot spot" a try, you will NOT be disappointed. Tell Diane Niki said hi:)
