I just came back from the first free manicure and all I can say is wow. Magnolia's is everything I envisioned the perfect nail salon to be: gorgeous decor, spotless environment, pampering (neck warmers and refreshments!), and with friendly and knowledgable technicians. My friend and I both got the moisturizing manicure, which involves shaping, minimal (if any) cuticle trimming, a scrub, a tint, three layers of moisturizing and restorative products, and a paraffin wax soak. They'll also add additional products depending on the state of your nails; mine are in pretty good shape so I didn't have much else done, but I know they have some repair and restore serums that they might use on someone with weaker or more damaged nails. I LOVE the emphasis on nail health. Carter and Judy were so friendly and really took the time to explain Magnolia's philosophy as well as why they used certain products and procedures vs. standard nail salons. It was a very educational, relaxing, and fun experience, and I've frankly never experienced this kind of service and attention in any nail salon ever. The moisturizing manicure is $24 while one with color is $28; I feel like these prices are extremely reasonable given the amount of care and pampering you receive. And heads up: they don't do gel or acrylics, as those procedures are damaging and go against their healthy nail philosophy. So, if you're looking for super glamorous, blinged-out claws, this isn't the place to go. However, if you want to feel incredibly pampered and learn how to take better care of your nails, I can't recommend Magnolia's enough. Read Less
