The first thing I want to say about this place is that it's freaking awesome! This establishment smelled amazing and not like any "normal" nail salon! My friend and I visited and she is very sensitive to chemical smells and usually has to pregame a salon visit with migraine medication, but not this time! She was so happy, and so was I! Well since this was our first time visiting we tried the aroma pedicures (which they gave us at 20% off since it was our first times). They have different herbal blends on a chalk board that you can choose from or you can choose your own mixture. I chose "Energy" which is a eucalyptus and mint blend.For the pedicures, the recliners you sit in are ridiculously comfortable and you have a pillow in case you need it (I did as I'm a bit short). The pedicure itself was great. Maria did mine and was quiet most of the time, but we did chat a bit and she was lovely (I showed her pictures of my dogs ). So the aroma pedicure... Splurge on this if you're able to! I don't even know what happens with "normal" pedicures here, and I probably never will. We first picked the colors we wanted (there is a wall to the right as soon as you come in with what seems like 100+ colors to choose from). We were seated and our foot baths were brought out. They are buckets with one time use liners. There aren't any water jets (because of the liner), but I also know that I won't get a foot infection from this place, so I'm down. The water was very warm, but not too hot, and had the eucalyptus and mint herbal mix I requested, it smelled amazing. Then they added a fizzy bath bomb to the mix! My feet soaked for a few minutes and then Maria started to work her magic. With the aroma pedicure I got a leg and foot sugar scrub (probably my favorite part to be honest) and a mask on my legs that were then wrapped. While my legs were wrapped Maria started to work on my nails. She trimmed and evened them out and worked on my cuticles. She also scrubbed the bottom of my feet, getting rid of any dead skin. Before putting the polish on my nails, Maria rinsed the mask off my legs and gave my legs and feet a 10 minute massage (there was a timer involved) with mint essential oils (you have a few to select from, but I stayed in my theme). It felt phenomenal as well. Afterwards, Maria used the polish I chose and gave me the buffer and file she used on my feet and nails. My friend and I sat in the recliners while we waited for our nails to dry (Maria checked the polish once but it still wasn't completely dry). We did seem to wait a good while, but I prefer this instead of being rushed out with wet nail polish. Checking out was a breeze, they accept cash and card. I paid with cash and my friend with card, and I heard her remarking about how you can tip from your card as well (I think there are automatic percentage tips or you can type in your own by way of tablet). Also, there is a "punch card" for this place! Am I getting yogurt or something? This is even more awesome!Overall, I'd say visit this place if you're trying to find a nail salon. Sure, it's a little more pricey than others in the area, but you're paying for natural ingredients and a friendly staff. I could have stayed there all day, it smelled so lovely! I know I just wrote a small novel, but I am THAT excited about the place. They will definitely be getting my business in the future! Read Less
