I've tried all the most recommended nail salons in the area and after much disappointment, have finally settled on Babylon. There's two things I hate about coming here, which I will get out first. Every single time, without fail, I am asked to pay in cash. When I respond that I don't have cash, I am asked to use their ATM. I don't want to use an ATM, and I don't want to pay in cash, and I don't feel they should accept credit cards if they're going to go this route. I'm certainly not going to pay ATM fees from their machine and my bank just so they can save on a transaction fee that is the cost of doing business, and I find it really irritating that they are so pushy about this. Saying no 1-2 times should be enough. The other thing is more of an inconvenience, which is that tips must be left in cash. Again, I don't usually carry cash, so it's something I have to make a point of remembering if I want to stop in here for a mani/pedi.Aside from those issues, I have found this to be the best nail shop around. It is clean (important and rare), nicely decorated with a soothing atmosphere, they have a wide selection of quality polishes, etc. Some techs are better than others, you just have to find your fit. I would stay away from waxing, as I'm still trying to grow my left eyebrow in to match the right one after the last time I let them near my face. Forget Athena, where it's loud and disorganized, and Canton Nails where it's just ok-try this place and you'll be delighted :) Oh-and on Mondays (and perhaps thru Wednesday) they do a happy hour deal for mani/pedi combos, including gel manis. I have every other Monday off and really love this perk! Read Less
