High Tech Nails

There was no doubt about it -- I was in desperate need of a pedicure. But being relatively new to the area I didn't really know where to go. In the old 'hood I was a regular at Sugar Moon Salon (which I loved) but I wasn't about to trek up to the Danforth for some pretty toe nails. So I did a search on the good 'ol net and found out about High Tech Nails.

High Tech Nails is your typical nail salon in the city. Cute little asian ladies take your toes and turn them into artful masterpieces. I had read that this place was clean and efficient and the fellow 'netters didn't lie.

I arrived at 7pm on a Tuesday and the place was packed. The Comedy Network blasted on the corner TV set and women read magazines or chatted with their technicians. The only downside to the place is that when you enter, you're pounded with the thickest wall of nail polish scent I've ever experienced and to be honest I almost left for fear of fainting. I'm not sure how the ladies do it day in and out. But I soon came to when it was my turn to hit the massage chair.

Over all my experience was excellent and the best pedicure I think I've ever had. My technician was super meticulous and gentle at the same time, and massaged my legs and feet with hot stones, which may seem a bit odd but it was welcomed.

The best part of High Tech Nails? It's about a two block walk from my house...
