I found Pure Nails on this site, and went because it was so highly recommended. It was for my first manicure ever, having finally quit biting my nails. I had just a basic sport buff, since i couldn't decide on a polish color. I was excited about their "no chemicals" concept, and still think it's great. They make pretty much all of their products except the nail polish.
When my manicurist started on me, she didn't really say anything to me. She was watching TV over my shoulder for most of the manicure. I tried to start a conversation several times, and she would respond, and then go back to looking over my shoulder. She also was chatting with someone in the back room during my manicure. While cutting my cuticles, she also cut my finger. I didn't notice until later that my finger was bleeding. It still hurts. Also, the gloss applied to my fingers isn't evenly applied, and their are areas that don't have any shine to them.
So while I love the concept, I was less than impressed by my first manicure. I can't say I'd recommend it to anyone, except on the basis of their products.
Pros: Ambience, Chemical-free, Sanitary
Cons: Poor service, unfriendly people
