We walked in at 6:40pm on a Saturday - everyone looked up and stared - until someone at the counter finally said, "can I help you?" I said we were here for a mani-pedi and asked if they had time for walk-ins. They brightly said, "sure!" and got a couple of chairs ready right away.
It wasn't until later I realized they close promptly at 7pm, and I felt like a big jerk!! I was grateful they took us in, since we were looking forward to our pedis all day and went out of our way to get here. The managers ended up staying an hour past closing to make sure my mani was perfect and completely dry before walking out the door.
Our technicians spared no effort in making sure our pedis were soothing, enjoyable, and detailed. Competition must be fierce since we were seated in upgraded massage chairs, and offered water, soda, or a glass of wine to go with our pedis. The basic pedi package for $32 comes with a leg massage and paraffin wax treatment. In my experience at other places, the wax treatment is usually extra, so I've never had the chance to experience it until now!
The ambiance is really fun and relaxing -- they had some colorful lights, a chandelier, and beautiful polished counters -- this would be a great place to take a wedding party or spa date.
Their attention to detail, warm staff, and above all their perks for the price, make this place worth the drive from campus. Other than feeling like a jerk customer for arriving close to closing, it was the best mani-pedi experience I've had in recent memory.
P.S. They take card, but appreciate cash. Starting next year, they'll have a $1 credit card charge.
