I started going to Sun when they opened a few years ago in the new yellow building next to the library, and I've been hooked since the first visit. I'm now a Saturday/Sunday regular, and if I have to miss it for any reason, I'm a grumpy mess! The space is big, airy, tastefully modern, and meticulously clean. May, the friendly receptionist, greets almost everyone by name- no idea how she remembers so many people. It does get busy, especially on weekends, but they manage to keep things moving and occasionally offer free tea, so the wait is never too long. At $10, the regular manicure is the best deal in Fairfield County. It's a big staff, so there are some technicians I prefer over others, but I've never had a bad one. They also just added a keratin treatment for an additional $2, which involves a scrubby exfoliating gel and little plastic gloves filled with warm lotion-- great for dry winter hands!But best part-- the real reason this place is such a great value-- is the amazing neck & shoulder massages both during the manicure AND while drying. Seriously, it ends up being about 20-30 combined minutes of massage, often the best 30 minutes of my week. I usually end up tipping the massage ladies about 100%, because it's SOOO worth it! Note, if it's super busy they sometimes can't do everyone twice, and they generally don't massage kids or teenagers (I get it-- teens aren't dependable tippers, I suppose. ;-)My one criticism, and it's a small one-- somebody on the staff has a fondness for Barry Manilow-style adult contemporary music and from time to time gets their hands on the sattelite radio dial. Blech. But a few minutes into mani & massage, and you won't even hear it. Read Less
