I made an appointment on Saturday about an hour before I went in to Alexus Nail Bar for a mani/pedi. I loved the decor and setup of the salon. However, since it was busy it was a little confusing as to who was doing what. Eventually I was brought over to the table for my mani. Great service and nice selection of polishes. I have natural nails so I use the regular polish (no gel). You get to choose which scent of lotion with your mani/pedi. I thought that was a small but nice option.
I was then whisked away to the massage chair for my pedicure. Great job, I was thoroughly pleased. The man doing my pedicure was SLIGHTLY rough scrubbing and very pleasant. They don't talk in other languages abruptly in front of customers like many traditional salons do.
Overall a very pleasant atmosphere and experience, BUT a little pricey ($50 mani/pedi). I guess you get what you pay for. I'd definitely go back, but not on a regular basis per cost.
I got my mani/pedi on Saturday. It's now Monday and there's no chipping! :) I even did the dishes a few times!!
