I remember when I first discovered them a couple years ago, they were still pretty new and hadn't been featured on any Housewives shows or anything. *sigh* Those were the days. Andy would actually match prices - $5 of the nearby salons and everything! They were very nice and just a really put together establishment. I became a regular. I stopped going to Piedmont Nails and started walking a few extra blocks to my beloved Beellagio, but now I've stopped. WHY? Prices have gone up and service/attitude have gone down. LOCATION:7th Street x Peachtree. At the same corner as Fresh 2 O (the other corners have Blick art store and Starbucks). It's on down a bit, next to Senor Patron, close to the parking deck entrance. PARKING:Metered street parking. Parking Deck, they have a voucher for like an hour. I usually pay $2 when getting a gel main, plain pedi. So plan on spending $2 for parking. SERVICE:They rarely answer the phone. They have water and wine, which is cool, and usually some type of candy or mint. And they do a great job of pretending to be nice... I don't know why I say it like that, I think because thats how it feels. There are some nail techs that are genuinely friendly, but many give me pretend nice vibes.PRICES: plain mani pedi (NO GEL) - $42gel mani, plain pedi - $59gel mani pedi - $76(basically an extra $17 on each service to get gel)That's more than Piedmont Nails. :-(SELECTION:They have a great selection of gel colors, especially brights. If you want a special summer color, they are sure to have it :-)SUMMARY:It's a decent place to go if you need to get your nails done- you just have to pay for parking and maybe get some attitudes or unfriendly looks. I have decided to give the personal nail technicians a try (the individual owned places, usually in loft or small office), so that I can get a more personalized experience, english speaking, and better prices. I was coming here regularly, everything month like clockwork, but it's time to move on. :-( Read Less
