Biotone is an excellent place to get your nails done. They have ample parking, easy reservation, tiny waters, and a very attentive staff. I got a SNS powder manicure from Kimberly who was very sweet and attentive, and a deluxe pedicure (from someone I didn't get the name) and both services were fantastic. Bonus tip- make sure you get a pedicure that comes with the Dremel skin removal. I was a little scarred when the Dremel came out since I use this to trim my dog's nails and I know how powerful it is, but it is hands down the most effective callous and dead skin removal I have ever seen! And its painless! My heels feel baby smooth. I also tried the powder manicure for the first time and it came out amazing. I love that the powder coats your natural nails without the curing process. Its been a week and I still catch myself admiring the handiwork ;) I admired the quality of the staff especially given that most are new to this country, yet they are such smart, funny, and resilient women. And so fashionable! I felt a little under-dressed. Lol. Sometimes you don't need to go on a fancy vacation to relax, but just connecting with Kimberly and the other gals for an hour was enough to recharge me. I love nail salons that have a fun atmosphere and you can definitely see a sisterhood bond here. We chatted and share a lot of laughs about Socal, motherhood, family, shopping, exotic fruits- you name it- and I had a great time. Its true that the staff speaks in Vietnamese, but do not be discourage by the language barrier. Everyone there is very sweet and hardworking, and they are not speaking ill about the clients. In fact, half of the clients are Vietnamese! I will say that the Vietnamese culture is not serious and instead is filled with laughs and witty banter which I can understand may be a little uncomfortable for someone who isn't used to that, but my advice would be to join the fun and do it often. If you come in with positive vibes and communicate or bring pictures, you will have a great time and beautiful nails. Read Less
