👍👍 This place is absolutely wonderful. Staff is kind and welcoming. After moving to Raleigh from Chicago a few months ago it was difficult to find a manicurist where the place was clean, tools sterilized, foot bowls disinfected after each use and nail files used on only me! No cutting cuticles here!...
