Small nail store in the shopping center on Old Trolley next to Dog n Duck. Nice, clean, well lit. One half of the 'salon' has work stations for pedi's and the other half for mani's. TV to watch while you get your nails done, pretty up to date and good selection of magazines to read. The massage chairs you sit in when you get a pedi are hands down some of the MOST comfy I have been in, in a while. First time I was here (a few years ago) the guy about scrubbed the soles of my feet off. I swore to never come back, but time and a pending trip out of town had me desperate for a place close to home I could swing through, so thought I would give it a second try. Appointments can be made there, and on their more busy days probably a good idea, but they also take walk ins. Went in and was asked to sign in and find a nail color. I looked around a bit. The selection of colors isnt the most wide spread I have seen in a nail salon (maybe 2 racks? - most nail salons have at least 4-5 racks of colors to choose from). And not all brand name polishes either. Which made me a little iffy on how this experience was going to go. (Im a polish snob, but Ive found that the quality of the polish does help it last longer). Picked a color and let the nail tech (Kim) know that I also wanted the paraffin wax dip with the pedi. I soaked my footsies in the awesome warm water for a bit, and turned the little massage chair on. Flipped through the magazines there. Kim was very nice, asked me how my day was going, making small talk and chit chat, but made sure when I closed my eyes to relax he let me just enjoy the pedi experience. Was the typical good pedi - soak, scrub bottoms of feet, take off old polish, soak, massage legs, cut cuticles and nails, soak, paraffin wax dip (its worth the extra $5 for this btw - if you can get it!!). Color applied and then top coat. The only thing I thought was odd is that he didnt push back the nail cuticles. I didnt think to ask because I was so relaxed, but he has definitely changed my opinion of the place and when I go back I will ask for him specifically and to push the cuticles back. All in all - it took maybe 30-45 mins? Kim was very thorough and my toes look adorable and my feet are SUPER soft. LOVE IT!! Read Less
