I canโ€™t begin to explain how absolutely excited I was to be able to find Sandy and Amy after looking for where they had moved from their previous shop. Immediately, Amy knew just which pedicure I needed without even having to tell her it was perfect. My toes and legs havenโ€™t felt this good in years. Ruby did a great job on my gel nails. They look fabulous. You owe it to yourself to go see them they are professional and itโ€™s a very relaxing environment.
