I bought a Groupon for a Mani/Pedi- but after looking at all of the reviews I started to get a little worried...
The individual that scheduled my appointment had not actually written it down on the date book, but they only made me wait about five minutes and got me right in. They had a decent selection of colors to choose from and I was impressed by the brands (Essie, OPI and Zoya)- in other reviews it was mentioned that they were off-brand and crappy.
I was disappointed that they did not have whirlpool tubs for the feet- the given reason was that it was not as sanitary. However, once they put some unknown awesome substance in the tub, I started to not feel so bad about it. :)
I think if someone were to come here looking for a "traditional" manicure and pedicure they would be disappointed. The process they do is just LESS INVASIVE- meaning- no harsh filing of the feet, very little cuticle cutting, etc.
I do wish that they would have spent a little more time massaging- but THAT MASSAGE CHAIR IS AMAZING. You're pretty much laying down in a massaging lazy boy the entire process. That chair was one of the things that made me so pleased with the experience. I'm pretty sure I could just lay there for an hour and have my money worth right there! lol
Also, my nails really do look amazing. They are very shiny and properly done.
All in all- I really did enjoy myself. Just don't go in there thinking you're going to get buffed/picked/cut to oblivion. It's more of a "holistic" approach to nail care.
(Plus- the owner makes all of the body products on site- and they smell and feel amazing!)
