I love this salon. It's my neighborhood salon and it is such a treat to walk out my door and over to this salon for the best mani pedis I've ever received. I usually go for the gel manicure and regular pedicure. I like to keep my nails short, so I cannot speak to the tips or nails. I can say that I've never left disappointed. I have had the good luck of seeing the same two nail techs, each visit, and I can't praise them enough. Jenny does my fingernails and Serena does my toes. Jenny spends as much time as it takes to achieve the perfectly shaped nail - and she is very fastidious about my cuticles. I am admittedly terrible on my nails and I don't do a good job with maintenance. Basically, Jenny and Serena have to start from scratch each time I come in, but they don't judge and they are very happy to send me back out into the world, looking my best. Last time I was there, Jenny spent over an hour with me simply because she is a stickler for perfection and my cuticles were a mess. I just love the way my hands look when I walk out of Butter. Today, when I left, I realized Jenny took years of sun damage and age off my hands. Serena is just as detail oriented and proud of her craft. My toes are ugly and abused. You can see by the photos that I was not blessed with beautiful feet, but Serena's pedicures are a work of magic. Today, I walked in with half a toenail on my right big toe ( I broke it while running). Serena knew I would be going to a high profile event in a few days, so she grabbed her toolkit, cleaned out the fragments of broken nail, and fashioned a brand new toenail with acrylic - by hand! See the photo (the big toe on your left) . It is perfection!!! Serena always helps me choose my toenail polish because I get blinded by the outrageous selection of colors. She never chooses a dud. I just leave it to Serena, now, and I leave more than satisfied.This is by far the best nail salon. Jenny and Serena are my power duo. I would never think of attending an event without seeing Jenny and Serena first. The prices are really good for the quality of the mani pedis. I am really hard on my nails and my gel manicure has lasted as long as 2 1/2 months ( it just looks more like a french manicure, after a few weeks)! the non-gel pedicure lasts just as long. There are so many different colors to choose from in gel and in regular - and they have less toxic polishes (if that's what you are looking for) like Zoya. I've made a living photographing lookbooks for nail polsich companies, so I know what a great manicure/ pedicure looks like. Take a look at anyone leaving Butter nails, and you will see fabulous work. Read Less
