I'm almost hesitant to write this for fear of them being overrun by so many new customers that I can never get an appointment, but here we go. Earlier today I got a pedi/gel mani at Tu Nails Woodbury, MN and it was easily the best mani/pedi of my life. Untill today I'd never been here. The space is brand new and beautiful, and the pedi tubs were wrapped in things that looked like shower caps (changed with each customer) to prevent gross stuff. Super comfy massage chairs and everything was super clean. Relaxing music (no tvs) and little waterfalls built into the wall that separates the pedi area from the mani area. The staff was super friendly and efficient from start to finish, and my nail tech was awesome. I get some scary callouses and she tackled them like a pro. Fabulous leg massage and my toenails are perfect. On to the gel mani. This was my first. I never get manicures in general because I always screw them up before I even get home. I've had acrylic/gel nails in the past and they always looked too fake for me so I was nervous about this gel polish thing. To clear up any misconceptions, a gel mani is a different thing than gel nails. The only things different between a gel mani and and a regular mani is it takes a little longer, it's a little more expensive, and between coats you have to stick your hand in a little light box to solidify the polish. And when it's done, your nails are perfect, dry, smudge-proof, and unless some tragedy befalls them (i.e. operator error), beautiful for at least two weeks! So there's my review. No one paid me, no one asked me to write this, I'm not getting any kickbacks. I just know that when I'm looking for a new place for services that last slightly longer than say, dinner, I love nothing more than a review from someone who takes the time to include details. I hope your experience is as fantastic as mine was. Read Less
