Sometimes you just need to sit and have someone attend to needs you didn't even realize you had. I'd pulled my Achilles on Tuesday, then spent all week hobbling around . . . throwing most of the rest of my body out of whack. I didn't say a word about these aches due to different distractions from the day, yet the ladies at B Nails effectively worked out my body's kinks and my mind's frustrations -- and all I was expecting was a basic pedicure!
If you wish your pedi involved a multi-step massage, get your soon-to-be sweet tootsies over to B. Nails. Before polish, here's every step of the massage : sugar rub! Cooling lotion! Oil + hot rocks! Hot Towel! And as if that wasn't enough, after executing a perfect polish, Trem rubbed down my neck, shoulders, and upper arms while my polish dried. B Nails, I'm now a little in love with you.
Environment:
I was impressed with everything about their calming, minimal (but not too) environment : color scheme, choice of finishes, lighting, orderly tech stations, choice of music, placement and line-up of polishes, and even how/where the magazines are kept. Such a nice change from other so many other salons! I didn't get a chance to check out the wax room, but even the bathroom was well-appointed.
Service:
WOW is all I can say, given the leg massage described above. Ladies (and the occasional gent), this was 100x better than your basic pedicure. Instead of keeping me waiting at the front, they seated me immediately. Each tech was working with a customer, so the Owner herself (I don't know if it was Debbie or Wendy; I'm the jerk that didn't ask) brought me a magazine and green tea, then removed my old polish. Trem then took over and handily worked over all the basics (trimming, shaping, cleaning, callouses), before wow-ing me with the multi-step leg massage. She was so good, I didn't even think about my ticklish feet. Then, the final step of their extensive service : the back massage at the drying station. Mmmm...
Price:
$37 is a bit steep, but given all the steps you're hearing ZERO complaints from me. I may opt for a quickie pedi elsewhere occasionally, but given the way my legs and toes feel after visiting B Nails . . . I'll be back!
Truly grateful : all I could feel after being so pleasantly surprised by the ladies and service at B Nails.
(Full disclosure : this was my first visit. If I don't come back to push up to the 5th star after they've delighted me more than once -- and I'm sure they will -- it is only due to my own forgetfulness.) read more
