New Year's Day, two other places were closed, so we popped in here. I think because it was a holiday or something they threw in the paraffin treatment for us both, which was divine... not too hot at all. I sat down for the manicure and glanced at the feet of a very pregnant lady in a pedicure chair. They looked great and she was happy. My manicure was done beautifully. I easily folded when offered a 15 minute back massage for $20, 'cuz when was the last time I had a back massage? ... and it felt more like 30-45 minutes although my friend said it was more like 15. I lost track of time... It wasn't a particularly strong massage, but it was nice...
The only surprise was when she lifted the back of my shirt and undid my bra (this I've never experienced in a chair massage, but I went with it, cuz like I said... when was the last time? Plus my friend was right there... anyway...we won't discuss the visions of Emmanuelle movies of my youth that I tried desperately to repress...) She used some moisturizer or something and gave me a full back massage, with scalp massage, and a bit of a face massage. At no point did the massage become inappropriate. When done, she redid my bra and pulled my shirt back down.
When we were all done, she helped us pull our sleeves down, put our coats and scarves on, and zip up. When do you get that kind of service?
Pros: Nails look great
