My colleague and I am we're driving from Atlantic City to Poconos for an event, and we decided to make the best of it and make stops on our way. We saw a plaza that had Whole Foods, Nordstrom Off the Rack, and the nail placement-Luxury Nails. It just so happened we were in the mood to get a mani/Pedi, grocery shopping, & some bargain shopping at Off the Rack. This plaza was everything we were looking for. After our shopping trips, we got to Luxury Nails on a Sunday around 4:30 pm. We didn't even think of it, but they were closing at five. At first they said they could not take us because they were closing, so we asked to use their bathroom before we hit the road. When we got out of the bathroom, they had decided amongst themselves that they would take us. Mostly because there was already a woman who just got her nails started so they would still have to stay and wait to close for her anyway. They had us pay first, before we got our nails done. They accept credit cards, but only cash tip. I was going to get a mani and a pedi, but because they didn't have a lot of girls and also I didn't have a lot of cash for tip, I decided for a manicure while my colleague ordered a pedicure. It was $15 for a regular manicure and $30 for regular pedicure. I found that to be pretty expensive. They also gave my colleague the disposable flip-flops and toe spacers to leave with since she was wearing sneakers. The place itself was very clean. Not a lot of polish colors to choose from at all, but they did have the good brand names. They took us right away, and had every intention of getting our nails and toes done as quickly as possible, while still doing a good job. The girls over at Nordstrom OTR told us to go to Luxury Nails and ask for Mimi. I forgot to, but I ended up with Mimi anyways. I'm pretty sure she manages the place, she did a great job. Both our manicurist and pedicurist were very candid with us-Conversation wise. Some people enjoy that, others do not. I, personally do. I enjoy having a conversation while getting my nails done, it helps the time pass. I think also, because we mentioned we were driving through Allentown and had no intention of ever coming back, they could trust us with their secrets :-). Parking is easy in the parking lot out front. Overall, I highly recommend this place. It's clean, efficient, and although a little pricey - you will get a good service. Read Less
