I'm someone who treats myself to a mani or pedi maybe once every like two years. Now that I know this place is super close to me and has parking, perhaps I'll make it a more regular occurrence.
With that said, the place felt very clean, welcoming and relaxing. I got a pedicure and those chairs were SO comfy with the massage features built in, obvi. The décor is classy without being tacky like a lot of salons are and they played light, classical, spa-like music. Every seat was taken when I arrived (I was a walk-in) so the woman at the front desk told me to browse the polish colors. Three minutes later and they already have a seat ready for me. Seems like they manage their staff well when handling large volumes of customers, especially those without appointments.
Vy took care of me and she was speedy, yet efficient. She mentioned the type of pedicure I wanted in the beginning but I couldn't understand, so there was a little confusion, but I think I got whatever is "basic." Upon looking at their menu, it seems like there's 5-6 different types, all ranging in price from $20 to $55. Mine came to $25, which isn't bad at all - and that included a light hot stone press on my calves (although the ultra hot stone pedicure was the $55 one, so I'm sure that's different). Others I noticed had these white microwaved hot booties placed on their feet, which looked very relaxing, but I'm guessing that's part of another, pricier package. Mani prices on the menu looked affordable, as well.
My one complaint would be that the color I picked (peach, to match a dress for a wedding) barely had any left in its bottle. She asked if I liked that color and I said yes, so she returned with....not peach. It was like a very light, almost white pink. She started applying it and I noticed it was vastly different than the first choice, but much easier to see (the peach probably would've needed a thousand coats). I actually liked the color so I didn't make her change it, although perhaps they should ensure the displays have full bottles and backups. Also, I wish salons would separate gel colors from regular, I can never tell. Gel didn't seem to be an option for my pedicure, although I'm sure you can request it.
Also, I noticed that some people had white wine/butter cookies, but others didn't and I wasn't offered. It seemed like the regular customers were handed them upon entering. Perhaps you just need to know to ask for it.
Overall, my pedicure seems to be holding up well almost a week later and my feet definitely felt smoother. I will definitely return here and maybe get the whole sha-bang. read more
