A few tips when you call the salon..... If you want to speak to a specific person, please feel free to ask for them. Weekends are very busy and if the blowdryers are all going, we may not hear the phone right away. Please feel free to leave a message if the answering machine picks up...... we will get back to you. If you call afterhours, please make sure you leave a detailed message so we can direct the call to the right person . Don't forget to leave a phone number so we can call you back. If you would like to make an appointment and have no preference who it is with, we will schedule you with the person who best matches the time and date of your choice. A manicure and acrylic nails are 2 different appointments that take 2 very different time slots. A manicure is taking care of your natural nails and takes about 30 to 45 minutes. A full set of acrylic nails is the powder and liquid mix enhancements that cover your real nails and takes about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. We include manicures in a lot of our packages but not acrylic nails. There has been a little bit of confusion with those so i thought i would clarify.
