I went for a manicure and was very pleased. It wasn't super expensive, I got in the same day I called, I was not pressured to tip when I paid, and the person who did my nails was friendly, a good consultant about the color for the dress I was wearing to an event, and good at her job. This experience was what I was looking for - in and out. It's not the super luxurious experience that some people are looking for, but I don't have the time or money for too much luxury.
I also appreciated that the atmosphere was open and bright and did not smell like noxious fumes from hair and nail products.
