I went in for a Mani pedi, and it was a beautiful breezy day. Not too hot and not too cold, so the owners decided to open the back door and let the air circulate. Which felt really nice. It was a perfect day.
The foot massage was "blah." It wasn't amazing like an Aveda's foot massage. In fact it was a little painful.
The girl I had kept rubbing the top of my foot in circles, which is not pleasant at all. You have all those bones at the top of the foot, with the tendons and muscle tissue IN BETWEEN them, so it pretty much felt like she was rubbing my bones. It was very uncomfortable. The hand massage was "eh" too. But, I don't think these individuals were trained on massage. They were trained for nails.
The nail work was great! The girl I had was careful, skilled, and very fast. She did an excellent job. I wish I had asked for her name, but she had medium length hair, and it was dark. More of an average build, with a very soft voice. Her energy felt timid, but my first impression of her was that although she seemed quiet, I could trust her. And, it really showed in her nail work. She was very quick and accurate. I was impressed!
One thing that kind of bothered me, the tool they used to trim the cuticle; she just kind of let the skin build up in the crevice of the tool. She didn't clean that off at all. She went from one hand (still full of skin, mind you) and went right in to trimming the other hand. It was pretty gross.
Would I visit again?
The prices were very reasonable. $15 for a Mani and $25 for the basic pedicure. Plus, they were more clean than other nail salons I've seen. If I want a basic and very quick nail service then yes I would definitely visit again.
But if I really wanted to relax with a good foot and hand massage, then I'd spend the extra money and visit Belladonna. Truly, the choice is yours.
Although, I wouldn't rule Le's Nails out of your nail experience. Definitely try them at least once.
Edit: They also need to add new towels to their list. They felt like jagged rocks against your skin. I'm dropping a star because of it. read more
