Most recent update :: My nail tech who used to work here, Kim, has moved to Pepper Tree Park Salon in Longview. I now go there More recent update : my tech wasn't here. I got a younger girl who did my pedicure. She was rough on the cuticle. The main reason I don't get a regular pedi is so that my callus can be taken care of. When she scraped my feet, and when she used the pumice stone , not once did she touch the callus. I took my nail and scraped it, and a lot of dead skin came off under my nail. Disappointed. Won't be back unless my tech is available. Now I have to go home and tend to my own feet at the bottom. On the brighter side, she gives a good thorough foot massage. Update: went again to the tech I said I would go back to. She was more talkative, and she offered me wine - so they DO have it. The sangria is better. I had an even more pleasant experience than the first time, and I will be back to this same tech in two weeks!First impression : I am new to the area, so I had to Yelp the best nail salon. After my research, i saw that this was the best of the best that Longview had to offer- and they have certificates to prove it. They wear name tags. This is a first for me. Just had to mention. It's a nice place. It looks smaller than it is, but it's larger in the back where you get pedicures. The color selection isn't as big as I have seen in the past, but it will do (they may have more colors elsewhere). Got here on a Monday at around 7:20. They close at 8. I looked at the menu And was found to go for the basic pedicure for $28, but wasn't sure if it came with a callous removal, so I got the $38 pedicure. Nancy was my tech. From what I could gather, she doesn't speak very good English, but it all worked out okay. This pedi came with oranges that she placed on the tops of my feet and later scrubbed my toes with (that was different). After fixing my cuticles she scrubbed my feet. The pumice stone was very small. Sanitary- because they throw those away I'm assuming, but very trial sized. It seems as if I didn't get the full scrubbing I needed - well that my feet needed. She used the larger scraper on areas of my feet (I'm used to the whole foot getting scraped)- later she placed them in the paraffin wax. This treatment came with hot rock massage and a towel wrap (Towels weren't hot). An oil massage followed by a moisturizer massage (she had a two sided dish. One side with an oil (room temp) and one side with moisturizer. All the while my feet were in the paraffin. The massage she gave my foot after she put the moisturizer on was so good!!! My goodness. They Use torn paper towel to separate toes. I didn't get paper sandals- maybe because it was closing time. They put my sandals back on - something I wanted anyway. Con: small pumice stone -which could be a plus for some)NO WINE with pedicure. I'm so used to that! She did offer me water, coke or doctor pepper. Drying the feet: this is just a personal issue for me. She didn't know, otherwise she wouldn't have done it. She took the towel and she "scissored" in between each toe with the towel. It wasn't a constant sawing motion, but my toes are very sensitive- especially Mrs. Pinky. She could tell I was uncomfortable and apologized. Pros: everything else. Nancy was nice. I saw a tech who scrubbed the bottom of a lady's feet to no end- I bet she's still in there scrubbing. I'll go to her next time, because I need a good scrubbing!!!! Read Less
