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.

I hate that place for pedicures--they put your feet in a bucket, and the chairs aren't particularly comfortable.

The bucket is awesome! It's warm sudsy water with marbles in the bottom that you can rub your feet all over to massage them. And then you get a foot massage. It's the best pedicures I've ever had.

No kidding, one of the worst for me. Maybe your feet are smaller or something. Actual pedicure chairs are soo much better.

I assume the OP's looking for one-stop shopping, but I must agree that Lisa at Salon Femia does eyebrows better than anywhere else I've been. She's awesome! (I also like Square Nail, incl. their pedicures, but I can't afford them lately.)

I had a gift certificate for Pyara and had a mani pedi there recently. It was fantabulous -- not only did she do a superb job, it also lasted longer than most mani pedis I've had. But I never tried their other services, and while they're not *horrifically* expensive, you can certainly get things done quite well for cheaper at places like Julie's Nails.
