On the other hand, cutting out that hour and a half drive to get to her (I'd catch up with a bulk of other errands while I'm at it) gives me some serious time and energy while I'm closer to home. Plus not having her around ;-( gave me a chance to branch out and look for a nail salon in Kingston. A bunch of the low Yelp ratings I saw for other nail salons elsewhere had huge red flags: bad technique, rushed jobs, or even unsanitary tools. The way I see it, when it comes to personal care like nails, you definitely want to see high ratings and consistent praise. I mean, don't you? While Pretty X only has one review, that was enough to bring me here. I honestly came here on a whim. Pretty Xo is dreamy, soft, welcoming and clean. The space has a minimalist-chic feel with their airy, beige walls, flooring is done in blonde wood planks and faux florals adding a touch of color. I started with Lily for my manicure who was super gentle, which I really appreciated. Then Yan took over for my pedicure. She wasn't so frilly- but definitely not rough- just the right amount of strength and attention for my legs. She took her time, especially with trimming and from there, it was all uphill. It's not only about aesthetics (though it's important to me)- it's also about hygiene, safety, and someone working up close and personal on your hands and feet. The $63 price tag is a bit more than what I used to spend, but honestly, it was worth it for the serene and relaxing atmosphere.

Becky was able to effortlessly and patiently remove the fake nails with far less damage to my actual nail than I ever could have managed.

Terrific service and pleasant conversation... so much so, I will consider my next perhaps for the holidays! I include this image, I think they came out better than I imagined, Pink for October- Breast Cancer Awareness; ( if only you could have seen the disaster she started with, you'd agree she is magic!)

When you've had the same person cut your hair for 30 years, it's hard to "break in" a new stylist. Madison really took her time to give me the cut I wanted. Many thanks for making me feel welcome.

I visited this nail salon yesterday for an acrylic fill since my usual technician was booked…read more Unfortunately, I had a poor experience along with a pricing discrepancy. I came in as a walk-in and was told there was an opening at 10:30 a.m. They actually started my manicure earlier than they stated, which I appreciated. However, the technician who initially prepped my natural nails and grown-out acrylic appeared to be inexperienced. He used several different sanding bits I'm not used to seeing, including a coarse sanding bit. At one point, a piece of the sanding material broke off and embedded itself into my natural nail, causing discomfort in my nail bed. He tried to remove it with a nail file, causing pain that made me retract my hand. While he stepped away briefly to answer the phone, I ended up removing the piece myself with another nail. He then continued sanding uneven and repeatedly switching sanding bits which made me feel uneasy. After the prep, I was passed to another technician to complete the fill and apply UV polish. She asked what nail shape I wanted, and this is where the pricing discrepancy started. She informed me that wanting an almond shape would increase the fill price to $55 instead of the posted $47. I explained to her that no other place does this and that the pricing displayed on the wall lists $47 for a fill using a credit card, but does not mention any additional charge for different nail shapes. She became irritated and said she would charge $52 instead. She then went on a rant about the long experience she has, the cost of her equipment, and the quality of her materials. She also stated that she treats nails as art and does a good job, and charges some clients upwards of $80 as a base price. Despite these claims, after leaving I noticed that two of my nails are crooked and the polish was poorly applied near the cuticle area. Of all the nail salons I've ever visited Ive never had these upcharges for different nail shapes before along with my fill ever costing more than $40-$45 max. Also as a business owner myself, I fully understand the costs involved with running a business, including the materials and the equipment. Given that, I set prices accordingly and find it important to openly and clearly communicate this pricing upfront to my clients. This upfront transparency includes any upcharges for additional services or materials so my clients can make informed decisions before my service is started and not feel how I felt at this salon. Given all this I do not believe I would ever go back.
