This place is everything a walk-in nail salon should be. It is on the busiest street in the city, there is a copious amount of neon signage, English is easily the third or fourth language spoken, there is deplorable fluorescent lighting, advertisements for nail polish are from the early 90's, and nearly the instant you mutter the words "mani-pedi" you find your self holding a three month old Marie Claire that is torn on the binding, your rear-end in a massage chair, and your feet in a tub of warm bubbling water. It is magnificent.I discovered this gem about a year ago on a walk around my neighborhood. I wanted to go to the "spa" that is right down the road, but their mani-pedi person had just left for the day, so I reluctantly went to this place. Now, I want to be adamant about this; I had the best pedicure I have ever had at this place! They have this crazy heating-mint-scrub-gel stuff that they lather onto your feet and legs once the foot Jacuzzi is through, and then they wrap your feet in a moist towel and let you sit for a few minutes. Oh My God! It is totally fantastic! And the ladies that work there are all really nice too especially considering the fact that I had to have them repeat themselves three times every time they spoke, but that is my fault.So, with all this overly positive gushing, why the 4 stars instead of 5 you wonder. Well, in all fairness, it is kind of to protect my pride, though if I were in their position I would have done the same exact thing... The first time I went to them I totally messed up BOTH the manicure and the pedicure a collective, three times before I even got out the door. I will take the blame; it was my own clumsy fault, and I did tip accordingly because the woman fixed my blunders no problem. However on my way out the door, the woman that gave me the mani-pedi asked me my name, and there is no mistaking the fact that I had just become the story of the day, maybe even the week. I know that they were just having a good time, but still, that fact prevented me from going back here for a good 6 months because I was convinced that they would recognize me the second I walked in. In all reality though, I need to get over myself because I am not that important and it is a pretty funny story in my opinion. Read Less
