I've been getting my nails done for over 10 years and I've seen my fair share of salons so I know: when you've found a good one, you stay put. Well, I had found a good one when I lived in Austin but a move up north had me searching for a new salon to call home. And I was happy with the replacement location. However, on a whim, I decided to try Solar Nails based upon a recommendation from my boyfriend (yes, boyfriend. Long story.) So I book my appointment and made my way over.From the get-go I was impressed. Nice, clean, cozy; service by staff was super sweet and friendly. Drinks, snacks, water, coffee, tea. Wow! Moving on... I made my way to the seats for a gel French mani and regular French pedi. O.M.G. the attention to detail! I was so impressed by the care and work that went into cleaning, buffing, softening, more cleaning, polishing, more softening, snipping, making sure everything was just right. Now I like my nails SUPER short and I always get chided for cutting my nails so short but the ladies here (Kim and Sammi) weren't afraid to go short for me. And they applied the French polish thick on my hands just how I liked. I can't express how impressed I was by the service and I was more than happy with the results. So here we are over a month later and my nails still look great! The only reason I came back was because they were long and I desperately needed a trim. (I like when my finger pads touch the keyboard and anything longer than that is too long for me.)I had to take a pic of my nails before they got refreshed. Now, they're not perfect but ladies- this is OVER A MONTH old! A month of working at the office, of cooking meals at home, of doing laundry and dishes, of cleaning house, of working out at the gym (I'm talking barbells and bench presses). And they haven't peeled, no major cracks. Maybe a baby chip on a finger or two but they still look great, even with new growth at the bottom.I could be selfish and keep this gem of a secret to myself but everyone deserves to have fabulous nails and if you want some of that, this is the place to go!
