any recommendations/suggestions? i just want the 'basic' acrylic french mani, but i don't know what's around campus (or in/around crabtree), and mainly if there are any places to avoid.

the place next to subway in avent ferry complex is good.
stay away from nail world in mission valley. ruined my nails and looked like crap 3 days after i got them done. he said he was new so maybe it was just the guy that i got.
i think there's one on hillsborough although i've never been there.

there's a place on lake boone trail in that little shopping center w/s'bucks and mcdonalds. they're small but they do a GREAT job.

i'd recomend primp saloon downtown. it's upscale but the price are reasonable the and atmoshpere is NICE plush couches, tvs, and a full bar! the nail tech there (her name is sonja) does awesome work.


*I'm a guy btw and i don't go to salons i just occationally hang out w/ some1 who does.

I second the whole "DO NOT GO TO NAIL WORLD IN MISSION VALLEY" thing. I get gel nails, and thus usually pay around $50... and they were awful in less than a week.

I only went b/c of time but my regular nail place is Red Nail at the corner of Tryon and Jones Franklin/Holly Springs in the Swift Creek Shopping Center. A little expensive but oh so worth it when I only need to go back in every 3 weeks or so for fill-ins.
