LONG/DETAILED REVIEW: First time here. Small establishment but they have so many regulars; it's so cute.
Went Friday around 11:30am and there were only 2 people working. I have a feeling the manicurist was the owner. Did not have to wait long.
They have decent selection of polishes - Essie and OPI. You can also do gel manicures, waxing, and other services.
Got a regular mani-pedi for $32 ($10 mani, $22 pedi). They took care when attending to me but I felt like they may have rushed just a little when one of their regulars came in.

The services are well priced (~$62 for gel nails and regular toes), they do a great job, and not only do you look better when you leave, you feel better too. Highly highly recommend!
Oh and the nail techs DO get the tips here. The owner made sure Sylvia knew I gave her more on the card in addition to the cash I had. Well run and they provide excellent services. I...
