I have been getting gel manicures every other week for years - and during those years, I have tried a LOT of nail salons in Charlotte. I don't think that I am that picky but if I am shelling out money for a gel manicure, I expect it to last two weeks. Seems reasonable, right? Well, you would be surprised by how seldom that happens. But at Nails Garden.....every manicure has lasted.
Some of the other reasons I like them?
- Lots of TVs positioned throughout the salon so that you can veg out to HGTV (It's always on HGTV!)
- Everyone who works there is super nice. Not overly chatty...but they will carry on a conversation if you want to.
- Very clean!
- Expansive selection of regular and gel colors
- They have never given me that look (you know the one!) when I asked for a design or something out of the ordinary....even when they are super busy.
- The prices are great! Only $28 for a gel manicure (I spent $35 at another place...and it didn't last a week!).
- The pedicures include a hot towel on your legs. Seems like a small thing but it really feels good!
- Everyone gets their nails done with individually wrapped utensils.
Bottom line....I drive 30 minutes, past a ton of other salons, just to get here. That, in itself, is a good review!
