My French manicure was a rip-off. I live near New York City and for $35 I expect better. I live in Mendham, NJ which is one of the most expensive towns to live in NJ, and I spend $21 for a french manicure at the day spa in town. To start with the positive: nice staff and great products, including Phytomer. The negative: mediocre decor, NOT luxury spa at all. Small, cluttered and not particularly clean. The manicure room was tiny, small selection of nail polish (only 5 bottles of Essie). While I loved my manicurist Patty, she did not give me a hand massage, which for $35 should be a highlight. There was no nail dryer machine that is in every nail salon I have been to in northern NJ and NYC. 10 minutes on that machine and you are good to go. I immediately smudged my nails after waiting for 20 minutes, even after I made sure to pay before the nail polish was applied. This place has no business being listed in the top 10 nail salons.
Pros: manicurist Patty, other staff friendly
Cons: expensive, shabby decor, white tips uneven
