I'm looking for recommendations for a place to get my nails done and my eyebrows done that is good and hygienic, but reasonably priced. This is in prep for a wedding next weekend, and I'll be bringing the bride with me, so it should be a reasonably niceish place that does a good job, but need not be a high end spa. Neither of us are regulars at this sort of thing as well, so English speaking would be preferable.

I do have a car so some distance is ok.

julie's nails is the best.

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.

I had my nails done (french tip acrylics) at MY Salon in Arlington for my wedding, and it was easily the best job I've ever seen. They also have someone who does threading, and after experiencing eyebrow threading, I will NEVER go back to waxing. I've got sensitive skin and fine hair, and threading really tidies up the brows without causing breakouts or taking too little hair. I suppose it's technically a spa, but it has a very homey feel to it :)
