I think this is the best nail place in the NW. I usually get just a pedicure but I've also been in for a gel manicure and waxing and I've been very pleased with it all. Great prices and the staff is friendly, they always offer a water bottle when you get in.
I personally don't mind the cheese graters, it's not like they use the sharp side and hack off your rough spots... Love the scrub they use on your legs and the foot/hand massage with a mani/pedi is to die for.
