Many nail salons look like Relax, but few offer the same level of service and attention to detail. While an $8 manicure in a similar beauty parlor might leave you with uneven tips, ragged cuticles, and smudged lacquer, the ladies here take so much care over the job they do that they'd rather wipe off the polish and start over than let you leave with imperfect nails. The salon used to look a little worse for wear, but a lick of paint and the addition of shiny new spa chairs and a plasma screen TV have given it a facelift. If you're looking for the Aveda experience, Relax isn't for you, but if you don't need all the bells and whistles, its friendly, careful service ensures that you walk out with pampered paws and claws.
