If there's one thing I love, no matter the season, it's red toe nails. Always classic!

I had never gotten a beauty service done in Zurich, which is partly to blame on the cost of things, but mostly to blame on my hesitancy speaking German in new situations. But, I was going to Italy and dag-nabbit, my nails needed to look pretty. I picked Salon de Beauté based on a random internet review and the straightforward website - have to start somewhere, right? I made an appointment (auf Deutsch) through the contact form on the website and got an appointment for a pedicure and eyebrow cleanup for a few days in the future. My appointment was with Lucia, the owner of the salon. She is Czech but has lived in Zurich for a long time. She speaks a little bit of English, and we got along fine in a mix of German and English. The set-up for the pedicure was a bit different than what I am used to. In the US, I usually get a pedicure while sitting in a chair, perhaps in a row with many others. Here, because Lucia is the main (and only?) practitioner and because she does a number of other services, pedicures are performed at the end of a bed (like you might lie on when getting an eyebrow wax). I have to say that this was the most thorough pedicure I've ever received - my feet were like a baby's bottom afterwards and the red polish I picked lasted a long time without chipping. The eyebrow plucking was also very well-done. She also does facials, other waxing, manicures, and massages. Overall, highly recommended for her service and the prices were quite acceptable.
