Some time ago, while at a Yelp Event, I got chatting with one of my favorite Yelpers, Marc Aka Max H. The subject of manicures and pedicures cures came up and I had to admit that I had never had either. That is probably because of my Appalachian upbringing wherein such is not only considered decadent, but can't fathom the belief of anyone too lazy or incapable of trimming their own fingernails or toe nails. But as the discussion developed and because I always pay good attention to anything Marc has to say, I promised to get a pedicure and manicure which is what lead me to Lavish Manors Nail Spa; and I'm glad I did. So thank you Marc, you were spot on correct, I have been missing out on a good thing. From the outside you'd think Lavish Manors Nail Spa is a small hole in the wall operation, but it's not. Once you get inside, you can't help but be impressed with its simplistically pleasant décor, its attention to cleanliness, its equipment and the overall size of the space. It's really huge. I was assigned a manicurist by the name of Phong, originally from Vietnam, who had been doing manicures and pedicures over the last four years. And though my first ever manicure and pedicure, I could immediately tell I was in the hands of an accomplished professional. Not only that, but with a person of charm and pleasing personality. The first thing that happened, besides being given a complimentary glass of wine, was that I was put into a chair with a whirlpool in which to soak my feet, but not just a water soak. Varying scents like that of green tea and solutions were added during the process, even a mask on my calves of my legs. Overall it was delightful, something I've never experienced before. Then for the fingernails, pretty much the same procedure except with my fingers dipped into a heart shaped bowl. As for the final outcome, I ended up with perfect Hollywood looking toe and fingernails; awesome in appearance and with my body overall having a lingering feeling of ease and comfort. The only problem I had was that while have my pedicure I was sitting in one of those so called smart chairs that rubs, messages and vibrates. Everything about it really felt great but with me not be much of a techy, figuring out the control panel with all of its buttons and varying massage modes sort of hit beyond my immediate understand. But, fooling around with for a while, I did manage to get the hang of it. Read Less
