I love Julie's Nails for their prices and quality, but it sounds like you're looking for something maybe a little bit more upscale? If you're going with the bride, you might not really get to see each other because the pedicure chairs are lined up one behind another. While the staff are nice, they can be a little hard to understand. And, though I've never gone there for waxing, they take people into the back of the store what seems to be into the basement.

I haven't been to the new Spa Bella on Holland, but as its previous incarnation as Breathe Spa, they had great pedicures, their prices were reasonable, and the atmosphere was a lot nicer than Julie's.
