this place is awesome. i was on vacation 2 weeks ago down in the fort meyers area. i really wanted to get my nails done but not being from the area i didn't want to gamble by just choosing a nail spa at random. i was wise enough to ask the hotel concierge linda, where she got her nails done. i had noticed since the day that i checked in that she had the most beautiful nails. i figured that she would be the best one to ask. linda recommended adore nails to me and promised that i would be delighted with their work. the harbor plaza, where they are located, was only a couple of miles from the hotel. i was beyond thrilled when i called and learned that i could get a sunday appointment. we all know how difficult it can be to find a nail shop that is even open on sundays. when i arrived there sunday afternoon, i was greeted by very kind, warm and respectful staff. i noticed straight away that the entire spa was as clean as an operating room in a hospital. you can definitly tell that having a sanitary and sterile environment is very inportant to the management here. upon looking at the extensive menu, i opted for the dip powder manicure. it started with a nice soak. then the gentlest cuticle work i have ever had. they do not rush here like i have seen elsewhere sometimes. the nail shaping was very, very precise. once again, perfection is very important to the techs here. the dip powder treatment itself was very interesting. they use a 3 - step system to accomplish this. the result here is extremley durable and also looks great. this is way better than dealing with acrylic nails and the related health dangers. in fact, they specifically will not offer acrylics due to the health concerns. the last step was a clear gel being applied over the nails. the final results were basically astonishing as i had never had any shop back in massachusetts give me a manicure with this high level of quality. in total i paid only $60 for this top- notch experience. of course i felt obliged to also tip another $40 since this was the best manicure in my lifetime. i will say, i certainly felt like some kind of a movie star walking out their door with my gorgeous new nails. i just wish that i wouldn't have to fly over 1,000 miles to keep my nails looking this wonderful in the future. next time i am down in fort meyers, a visit to adore nails will be my first stop. read more
