When I moved from WA to SD, I was really hoping to find a good and professional person nearby for my mani, pedi, and waxing and Iโ€™m so happy I did! Amy did an amazing job cleaning and relaxing my feet, and Cindy was incredible with my waxing and manicure. Iโ€™m so impressed and loved the easy, great personal care I received from them. Now I know exactly where to go back!
