During my 7 years living in Orange County, I tried only 2 nail salons. The 18 years before that (well not quite 18 because I was in at least middle school before I went for the first time, but you get the point) I went to the same nail salon by my house.
Typically I do my own nails because it is cheaper and in a way therapeutic. However, for those special occasions, it is nice to have someone else do it. It takes me a long time to find a nail salon because I am concerned about some of the horror stories I have hear about unclean tools and untrained or uncaring personnel.
Upon moving back to the bay area I found myself once again in the position to find a nail salon for those infrequent situations where I go to one. I took recommendations from friends and recently have turned to yelp for help. After reading all of the reviews, I picked “Relaxing Nails and Spa” and made an appointment.
I really enjoyed my experience at this new salon. It was not crowded and it was quiet with just soft instrumental music playing. One lady did my pedicure while another worked on my manicure. They were careful and diligent in prepping my hands and feet. They did a deep massage on my arms and legs. Their paint job was impeccable. Plus the price was right: $40 for french manicure and pedicure.
A week later, my nails still look fantastic! I will definitely be returning to this salon.
Finding and trying a new salon takes gumption!
