Booked two manicures (one for me, one for my grandmother) at 1130am today, as a spur of the moment treat. When we walked in, the place was bustling- lots of people getting manicures AND pedicures. Music plays in the background, but there are no televisions on the walls. There are large, plush massaging chairs for people getting pedicures, as well as magazines. We were pleased to see that they have a large selection of polish, including OPI, Zoya, and others, and also appeared to do both shellack and gel nails. We picked our polish, and were seated in manicure chairs immediately. It did take another 10-15 minutes of waiting until a nail technician came to help us, but since we were there together, that wasn't a big deal. They started with my manicure, and I saw them get out a fresh, sealed tool pack and make the soaking liquid to soften my cuticles. The technician was very conscientious, and made sure to ask me exactly what I was looking for (e.g, do you want your cuticles cut or just pushed back? Do you want round or oval nails? How short would you like? etc.). During the manicure, they also incorporate a hand/arm massage with a fragrance-free (or at least, I couldn't smell anything) lotion which was lovely. I only wish I'd remembered to take off my watch and rings!Once they finished tidying up my nails, they paused so I had an opportunity to pay and wouldn't mess up my polish at the end. I thought that was great- not every salon thinks to remind you! They take credit cards (I used Visa, so not sure about Amex or Discover) for the manicure, but you'll want to have cash for tips. For two of us, it was $20 plus tax! Because it was our first time and we were not yet members, they also gave us each a $5 off coupon for next time. Very cool!While I got my color done, a young woman came by and gave me a lovely massage. She had great pressure and it felt wonderful!Once done, they took me over to the drying station. My nails look lovely! They got everything right, and no bumps, bubbles, or polish on my skin! They carried my purse for me, and even were willing to reach into my jeans pocket to get my car key out when I realized I'd forgotten to before hand. Everyone was really nice, and the person who greeted me when I came in also called out goodbye when we left - and even remembered my name! Very personable!!!Between the price, the cleanliness and how friendly everyone was, I can't imagine finding much better! I'll happily go back! Read Less
