I don't normally get my nails done, but when I do, I go here. They're clean, quick, and the prices are fair.I came here last Saturday for a mani/pedi for a wedding I was in. I had to wait a little while, since Saturday is a pretty busy day for them, but once I was called over to the pedicure station, they had be painted up pretty and on my way in no time!The pedicure stations are really nice. They seat you in a big comfy leather massage chair and have you soak your tired toes in a little jacuzzi tub with skin softening minerals. Next, they clean up around the nails and use a pumice stone on the soles of your feet (and laugh at you when you twitch because you're ticklish). After that, they paint your nails and then give you a lower leg and foot massage with mint scented lotion.Next, it's off to the manicure station. Again, they have you soak your hands before cleaning up your cuticles. Next comes the painting. On this particular visit, I tried a gel manicure for the first time. It's pretty similar to a regular manicure, except they shine a special UV light on your nails between coats. After the last coat and UV light soak, my nails were completely hardened and dry! I didn't even have to go over to the nail drying station! Pretty cool!One of the reasons I don't get my nails done very often is because I work in a lab, where I tend to be pretty rough on my nails. It has now been 4 days since I had my gel manicure, and there is still not a single chip in my nail color! If it had been a regular manicure, the color would have been almost completely chipped off by now. I just may have to treat myself to these manicures a bit more often now! :) Read Less
