Whether you’re about to go on vacation or heading to the beach, keeping your nails in tip-top shape is always important. Sometimes, it’s worth it to trade the fancy atmosphere and relaxing music of a more expensive spa for a quick, effective and still gorgeous manicure and pedicure. These salons will give you the perfect pared-down mani/pedi for a really reasonable rate, with the option of add-ons.
The warm, welcoming staff will usher you in as quickly as possible, even if you don’t have an appointment. They offer shellac polish, which is basically the sturdiest nail polish of all time (it will last up to two weeks!). The salon also offers loyalty cards, so the more mani/pedis you get, the more you’ll benefit.
The staff here are great at adding flair to your nails with trendy colours and amazing, fun designs (Hello Kitty nails? Yes, please!) Sit back in your vibrating massage chair and enjoy being pampered for a reasonable price. Spring for the paraffin wax for your pedicure – it feels incredibly luxurious for only a few dollars more. They will also do shellac, gel or acrylic nails here.
) If you’re a fan of organic products, check out this spa, which uses organic nail polish to give you the perfect manicure and pedicure. While many organic spas are considerably more expensive than regular spas, this one isn’t – at least when it comes to basic manicures and pedicures. You can bump up your service to a hot stone or hot lava shell mani/pedi and still walk away with plenty of cash in your pocket.
When it comes to manicures and pedicures, there are many levels of pampering you can experience at this salon, so pick your poison (and your colour, of course). The first level is the classic mani/pedi, the next level up is the relaxation version. After that, you can move up to spa mani/pedi, which includes a scrub, massage and paraffin wax. It all equals fancy hands and feet for a minimal cost.
This quiet spot is really good about taking walk-ins, even if it’s not a nail emergency. They do French gel manicures, acrylics nails and, of course, good old fashioned basic manis and pedis. If it’s a fancy environment you’re after, then this may not be the spot for you. But, if you want a professional, long-lasting manicure and pedicure for a reasonable price, then step right up!
Spruce up your mani/pedi with long-lasting shellac nail polish (it dries instantly!) or high-def gel shine polish for 14 days of chip-free nails. Of course, you can always get a classic manicure or pedicure. Or, you can go for broke and get a herbal pedicure, which includes a custom herbal blend treatment and a hot stone massage for your feet.
This place is straight up awesome – they have the most inexpensive mani/pedi you will ever find. But, you still have the option of paying a little more for French tips, gel polish, acrylic nails, nail art or paraffin wax. It’s the most bang you’ll ever get for your buck!
