Usually go to the #1 Salon in Fort Collins, but as I work near here, and there were staff changes recently at my salon, I decided to try something new. It is HUGE! There were at least 15 others getting nails done at the same time as me! Β And that was only in the front of the shop. In the back, all the pedicure chairs are lined up. Another 4 or 5 clients were back there. I was here to get my month-old gel polish removed and reapplied. My manicurist first wrapped my nails in small squares of aluminum foil with a small piece of cotton soaked in acetone placed on top of the nail. She went to get the color I'd picked out, (over 100 gel colors, I think! The most I have seen!) After she put the color down at the station, she went to get the tools. I was impressed to see her return with a hermetically sealed package of fresh tools. She scraped the old gel off, filed and shaped my nails, and trimmed my cuticles.She also brought back a couple plastic bags, squirted some lotion in them, and placed one hand in each, which she squished in the lotion to disperse, then had me place my hands in some kind of hand heaters. I think it was to deep moisturize the hands before she trimmed the cuticles. Afterward, I washed my hands, and she painted the nails. Hanna was very talented and gently. I enjoyed her hand and forearm massage too. This all took about 40 minutes, and I paid $35 for the whole shebang! I will definitely come back and get the pedicure next week. Read Less
