With time to kill at Kahala Mall, I happened upon Lavish and decided it was indeed time to treat myself to a slightly overdue manicure and pedicure.As luck would have it, they were able to take me right away. Kathy, a cheerful and friendly woman, did a great job on my nails. Tidy and efficient, to be precise. I opted for a natural manicure, as I've had some mediocre results with gel manicures. She was not pushy at all, as is the case with some of the other nail salons I've been to that really like to upsell. Kathy had other clients lined up so a young lady named Jenny was tasked with prettying up my feet. My feet were in need of some love, aka, sloughing, after being abused while traversing Northern Italy in humid and rainy weather. Jenny managed to smooth things out, as it were, which made my feet ever so happy.Whilst receiving this pampering, I hunted for Pokémon, and Jenny turned out to be a trainer a few levels above me. She offered extra tips and valuable information, and even allowed me to use her phone charger so the Pokémon search would not be subjected to interruption by way of a drained battery.(Side note for PokémonGO enthusiasts: I captured a total of 15 Pokémon while there!)The salon is very clean, modern in decor, and comfortable. The pedicure massage chairs provided great tension relief. I opted for the coffee scrub pedicure, which offers exfoliation and rejuvenation, leaving my legs silky smooth and refreshed.It was $20 for the manicure and $48 for the pedicure, and included a mini maintenance set of files and pumice-like smoother. Even if it was more than what I usually pay for the same services, it was worthwhile and I'd likely go back. I'm all about quality and integrity of service, as well as cleanliness, when selecting a nail salon and this one fit the bill! Read Less
