I have never seen a place charge you 5$ to take off gel polish before getting your nails done, making a gel mani cost 35. My gel typically lasts a week from other places but from here it lasts mostly the full 2 weeks. They use mainly OPI which is great. The people are nice and do a good job. Can get in and out quickly on a lunch break. I dont love the pedicures but they are decent. and Free wine :)
