I was at Mt. Snow for the weekend and since it was crummy weather, I decided to get a mani/pedi…read moreinstead of skiing. I was leery about having this done in VT in general and by someone who I did not know in particular. I, erroneously, thought most salons up here would be sub-par to the CT and NY salons I am used to. Boy was I WRONG! Michele, from Long Island, is the quintessential nail professional! She knew just how to do my gel nails (not just gel polish) and tips. She was very receptive to my very specific requests. She was friendly, funny and very skilled. The personal attention was a real treat! The salon itself SHOCKED me, as it was absolutely gorgeous. Clean, modern, elegantly decorated and meticulously kept. I felt like I was in an exclusive, private spa at a 5 star resort. It really was a great little oasis from the earthy experience we all love so much about VT. If you need to be pampered and prefer to do it with class and style, this is the place for you! Thanks so much Michele! You made my vacation exceptional! Hannah Smith Wolfgang Fairfield, CT

Selfishly, I almost hesitate to give a great review of Michele's nail Spa to prevent my not being…read moreable to get an appointment next time I want one but the good angel on my shoulder is preventing me from doing that. Michele does a GREAT JOB. She's highly competent and my manicure lasted way longer than usual. I was also very pleasantly surprised at how nice her little room was decorated. It was super clean as well which is always very important to me and an issue that most often prevents me from returning to a new salon. I will say it took me several tries over a number of weeks and months to get an appointment but I am very glad that I finally got in and of course, made a follow up appointment for the next time. The cost was a bit more than I normally pay but for great quality, it is well worth it. I look forward to seeing Michele again soon.

The salon is always super clean, which I really appreciate. Best part is the nails actually last. No chipping the next day, no rushing back to get them fixed.

It truly feels like a little family-run spot where they take pride in what they do. So glad to have a place like this in town.
