| - The nail art here is the one great thing, everything else is average so I can't justify more stars. The atmosphere is nil (let's think fluorescent lighting and 1990s nail posters on the wall), and if you try to talk to the technicians don't expect to really understand what your conversation is about. You can read a magazine, but they'll be interrupting you every 5 minutes ("You want sea salt massage?") to try and upsell you on the extras. As the other reviewer mentioned, they really want to sell you waxing.
The prices are cheap, but expect to be charged for everything extra. A pedicure is between $15-19 depending on whether it's on "special", but then there's sea salt, callus removal, a discounted add-on manicure, french tips/nail art (toes and fingers), so your bill can add up at $5 a pop.
I really do enjoy the nail art here. I'm not an overly decisive or particular person when it comes to my pedicures, so I just let them paint whatever they think looks cute. Elsewhere, that almost always means a flower on each big toe with a rhinestone and some swirls. Here? It's different every time. Once I got a stripey glitter french pedicure, another time, flowers on EVERY toe, getting increasingly tinier with my toenails. The techs enjoy coming up with something cute and complex, and I thanked them with my tip money. Also, I suggest bringing cash for a tip - I never feel quite comfortable announcing out loud to everyone how much I want to tip.
Overall, I wouldn't come here every time because I like a little bit of a fancier pedicure and a more relaxing experience, but if it's nail art you are after, I give this place two very-pretty thumbs up!
