I think The Village Spa has a special place in my heart since I came here with my matron of honour just before my wedding for manicures and pedicures. I quite enjoyed that time, despite being slightly shocked by the price (I go for a pedicure maybe once a year), but when you think about it, pedicures are usually upwards of $50 when you go downtown, so a $45 pedicure uptown isn't that bad.
On this most recent trip, I had a really great time with Tracey. We chatted through the whole appointment, and she was so personable and a lot of fun. Most importantly, she did a fabulous job with my nail polish.
Gift certificates to The Village Spa make an excellent gift, which is why I went there in the first place. Don't forget to take flip-flops and allow for drying time, though $4 for flip-flops isn't bad. Also, nail polishes are titled by sassy phrases like "I'm not a waitress", not number codes, so if you ask for the colour, that's what you'll get in response!
