So, I took a week-long siesta in Mexico in the beginning October. It was mid-80's and sunny everyday. I drank margaritas and ate nachos and fell asleep by the pool. ::Looks outside office window:: I was a fool to leave. ANYWAY, prior to my trip, I made a pit-stop into Sunny nails. I used to go here in high school when I thought acrylic nails made me appear older and more exotic. Maybe if I saved that money I could Have taken a longer siesta... if ONLY I could have a chat with my 16 year-old self. Ok, enough heartache on my part. So, I go back to Sunny's for the first time in 10 years. EVERYTHING is different. No, not really. They've installed directv and LCD TVs. They exchanged their normal pedicure chairs for some beautiful, "massage me all over" chairs. They updated their nail polish. The rest, however, is pretty much the same. How comforting. The reason I am all but hitting you over the head with my vacation time-line, is to inform you that, here we are, 2 months later and you can still see the slightest bit of my "In a New York Minute" polish. yeah, OK, maybe I shouldn't have told you--It's a bit gross... Well, too late; It is all in the name of an honest review. It just goes to show you that a good pedicure keeps going and going and... That baby stayed put through many nail trimmings and baths and winter shoe wars on the tootsies. Now, that is a great pedicure. The staff is welcoming and accommodating. They bring you magazines. They ask if you want to change the channel. They inquire whether they are scrubbing too hard (NEVER). They refuse to let you leave until your nails are as dry as my winter skin... man I miss Mexico... 25 bucks. Great shade selection. Good brow wax as well. Plenty of parking. My favorite nail salon on the Northwest side--10 years ago and today. Read Less
