My girlfriend and I decided at the last minute on a Saturday afternoon to do mani/Pedi's before going for sushi, and chose this place due to the proximity to the restaurant and her apartment, and they had appt's available. The place is interesting, in that there's a storefront with clothes and jewelry in the front, and a nail salon in the back. We didn't see the pricing listed in the front, or ask about it before proceeding. We were both taken aback by the price of a mani/pedi, hers was $59 and mine was $62 (since I opted for a polish that was more). That seemed crazy high when you factor in that they don't have massage chairs, but maybe it's to cover part of the cost of the free mimosa (which I couldn't drink at that time). We both commented on how we would have tipped them more if the price hadn't been so high. We are both from Chicago and it's not that expensive to get a mani/pedi there. I noticed someone else commented on the cleanliness, but I didn't notice that, maybe it was? However, I will say that the people here were great and friendly, and did a great job massaging our feet and hands before polishing them. Maybe I haven't been in a nail salon in a while, but my biggest issue was that I was so overwhelmed by the lack of fresh air in the back area, and the super strong chemical smell. I get that it's a nail salon, but they clearly don't have any ventilation in the place, which is maybe because flowing air could blow dust around and ruin a paint job? Twee did mail me a TY card, which was super nice. If it wasn't so expensive (for what you get) I'd consider going back. Or if it had included a discount card for a future trip, maybe. But I didn't think it was worth the cost. Sorry Twee! Read Less
