If I could give Lounge 483 6+ stars, I would in a heartbeat. This was, without a doubt, the best manicure of my life.
Let's start with the basics: Now, I don't live particularly close, but I found a Groupon for a Russian Manicure for $35 which is virtually unheard of and while I was initially suspicious, I knew I had to give it a shot. The space is quite nice, there's a decent amount of space and it was empty when I arrived for my appointment at 5:30 which was nice. I was immediately greeted and offered tea/coffee.
Now for the service: My tech was honestly a godsend. Her work was incredibly precise, and if I had any questions about each step, she was happy to answer. Even though I was there for about an hour and a half, I feel like she worked relatively quickly for the quality of job she did. I ended up insanely happy with my nails. They are exactly what I was hoping for and the prep that she did will surely ensure that they'll last a while.
Nina, the owner (I believe) is really sweet and both women were really humbly accepting my compliments. Nina said that they've opened recently and I do hope that they stay open for a long time.
A "normal" Russian manicure is $90, but I ended up paying about $70, but that was because I tipped a decent amount and I had gel x on previously, which was removed for $15.
This place is 50 min from my apartment and I'd gladly travel that far to come back. Don't walk, run to get your nails done here. read more
