What is probably the one and only of its kind on Long Island, this all organic nail salon is one of the best additions to the ever-expanding Patchogue. My experience last week was one-of-a-kind. At your first visit to the salon, you can bring your own manicure set or purchase a $5 kit that will be stored in the salon so there is never any cross-contamination of anything. Instead of the typical nail salon chairs, All Nailtural has 3 comfy-cushioned chairs with a mosquito netting canopy covering each one, offering privacy and a feeling of peace. A bowl of mint-infused (read, real mint leaves!) water is placed on mats in front of the chairs, where all the soaking happens. The nail technicians sit on cushions in front of you, and handle the entire pedicure process from there.(Side note: when speaking with the them, they told me they are working on making platforms for the chairs so that the nail techs are more at-level with feet, making the experience more comfortable for everyone involved.)The salt scrub is made with a base of coconut oil and salt (ladies beware- shave your legs the day before unlike I did!). Don't expect a lotion massage after the scrub though; the coconut oil in the scrub is enough to leave your legs smooth for days. The leg massage happens during the salt scrub, so don't despair - there IS a leg and foot massage!The manicure includes another home-made sugar scrub. You have a choice between brown or white sugar even. (Sugar scrub is less abrasive than salt, hence why it is used during manicure.) A week later, my finger nail polish is finally started to chip around the edges, which is a miracle compared to my conventional manicures which started chipping day 3. The salon uses Karma Organics nail polishes and removers which will be available for sale as well. There are so many colors to choose from. The wax used is also organic. All of the staff here are kind and explain the process from start the finish. They can talk to you about their products with confidence. The benefits of this salon are plenty. First, there is NO SMELL, NO TOXIC FUMES. This place is ideal for pregnant and nursing moms, chemotherapy patients, and others who are sensitive to conventional nail salons. Once you make the switch, there is no going back. Also, the price for an organic, chemical-free mani-pedi is only $32. You can't beat that!Best of luck to this salon - hopefully more will open throughout Long Island. Read Less
