4 /5 Watkins Laura (House of Geekiness): If youre looking for a new nail salon, this is the place you want. The ladies there do amazing work and are super fun to be around. Without being overly chatty, theyre friendly and funny. I tried several different services there. Its obvious why they have so many loyal customers.
Nails: I didnt get my nails done, but I watched them work as I got my pedicure. Absolutely beautiful!
Pedicure: While I did miss the massage chairs at my old place, the amazing "mud" they used made up for it. I chose the milk (for dry skin) instead of the lavender mud. I am in love! Im not used to soaking my feet in a bucket instead of a foot tub thing, but it was so cool. It was hard to sit still because my toes kept wanting to play with mud. They also had an insane variety of nail colors to choose from. The man also worked extra long on my very callused feet for no extra charge. Theyre so nice and soft/smooth now!
Brow wax: Fast and good. The only complaint I have is that the bits she missed with the wax were trimmed instead of plucked.
Leg wax: This wasnt on their list of services but they do it. I had a mixed experience with this one. She uses a wax that hardens and peels off (because it is gentler on the skin, causes less bumpiness, and doesnt leave the skin all sticky afterwards) but it didnt work for me. It could be because my skin is ridiculously dry, but it was pretty miserable as she slowly yanked bits of wax free. To be fair, she said this usually doesnt happen. After probably 20-30 minutes of torture, she switched to the old style wax and it was quick and a LOT less painful. Next time, Ill ask for that kind from the start. I want to be clear, that woman tried amazingly hard to give me a great leg wax, and she delivered. I would have given up and switched waxes earlier, but she was determined to make it work for me because she knew Id love the results.
