For quality nailcare and general upkeep, one does not need to hit up downtown, or even leave campus for that matter. Nancy Nails' unassuming exterior does not speak to the nimble fingers and well-priced service of this small University City salon.
Due to its cozy size and, perhaps more significantly, its quick service, Nancy Nails is seemingly always packed. A tiny shop with bright fluorescent lights and posters of different manicures, its atmosphere does not distinguish it from the millions of mom-and-pop nail shops throughout the 'hood. Once in a while, random mofos will come in and try to sell bootleg CDs, "eau de Ghetto" or whatever else you might buy after being subjected to nail polish fumes. Still, it's generally clean, and the efficient staff makes it so that you don't have to stay there long.
The reason to come to Nancy Nails is the service. You can get your nails hooked up quick and for cheap. A regular manicure is about $8 dollars in comparison to the usual $10, and even $15 at high end salons. Including cuticle care and polish, Nancy's treats your digits right. Eyebrow waxing is a popular service, with customers often queued to get their brows shaped up. For $5, and in five minutes, Nancy's transforms your wispy, unkempt eyebrows into sleek dynamic shapes that frame the face and keep the compliments rolling in. Despite the short amount of time spent on each customer, the stylists are able to create an eyebrow shape that fits the individual.
A salon with this many benefits does not need a pretentious space-age d‚cor to provide quality beauty care. Forsake the frills and get your nails done well.
