I came to Mint Nails because I heard they had cruelty free products, which set them apart for me from the similar nail salons.
Right now they're doing a 4 year anniversary special which includes any of the spa pedicure services and an express manicure for just $40! I came in and enjoyed a free water bottle and the plush hot pink chairs. The brand they used for both my toes and nails is called "dazzle dry" which as corny as it sounds, dries very quickly and so far has an effect similar to gel nails! I'm very surprised and impressed that I didn't have to put my nails under UV rays for the same look. It's almost been a week now and I still get compliments on my nails.
In addition to that, my technician was conversational and delightful (Tracy). She was very detail oriented and well-trained in her craft so I felt like I was in good hands the whole time I was there.
The staff is like one big family which creates a friendly atmosphere. I would say the only bad thing is you need to make an appointment in advance because they're always busy.
