That is, until DeAnna worked her magic! \n\nShe didn't bat an eye when I showed her my ragged, desperately in need of attention nails. She was not horrified as I explained that I needed to be able to do yardwork and all sorts of other things that would certainly immediately destroy any average manicure. Her suggestion of using shellac polish was exactly what I needed. Best of all, she didn't grab any scary drills or grinding tools. Everything was done by hand, with simply a file, a buffing block and a cuticle stick. Really!\n\nWhen she was done, I didn't recognize my hands. My nails were... perfect! And they stayed perfect for longer than I could have imagined. This was seriously the everlasting manicure - that shellac would still be there if I did not remove it myself (she provided perfect instructions on how to do so without damaging my nails) after my nails grew out a bit.\n\nIn addition to the fantastic manicure I received, it was just plain fun to be there. This is definitely not an anonymous, rushed, assembly line experience. Rather, individual attention and great conversation in a beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean salon. No more assembly line for me!\n\nYou will walk in a client, but walk out a friend. :)"^^ . "4"^^ .
