This is the sort of salon I've always wanted to become a regular at but could never find. The staff is professional, personable, and most importantly good at what they do.
I received a full set from a well known salon down the street on Centre not even two weeks before and noticed my nails were lifting. Totally pissed, I browsed yelp for some decent recommendations. This place is not only a short walk from my place but it also had lots of good reviews and pics of very cute manicures. I called and booked an appointment for after work.
I walked in about 5 minutes before and there were about 7-8 nail techs all working away diligently and I wasn't greeted right away. I sat down and just chose my colors and waited until it was my turn. Though I didn't mention that I had an appointment, there were only two ladies ahead of me so I didn't mind the wait. One of the best things about this place was how bright, modern looking and clean it was. There was nice calming French music playing overhead and there were tons of higher end polishes to choose from. Just about everyone seemed to get a gel mani or pedi, but I just wanted a simple fill.
My new favorite nail tech (who shall remain unnamed because I want to hoard her skills for my sole benefit) chatted me up and was really down to earth. She commented on the poor work that was done not even two weeks before at the other place and worked diligently to get my nails back in tip top shape. I don't get nail designs anymore but since I was feeling so good about her work I had her do some free hand design on a random nail. I absolutely love the little pop of something unexpected.
Needless to say, I'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quality job. You do pay a bit more, but IMO it's very worth it. I can't wait to go back!
