Much like another reviewer of South Side Nail Candy, I usually frequent a different spa on E Carson Street but because a friend recommended this nail salon and another actually got me a gift card, knowing my penchant for spa pedicures, I figured it couldn't hurt to try it out. I called on a day they were closed and the recording asked me to leave a message. I did; providing them what service I was interested, that I'd never been there before, my name, and phone number. I never heard back. This was a little disappointing, it just says to me that they're not interested in finding loyal repeat customers. I finally called back on Friday and made an appointment for Saturday at 11AM. I showed up early, because I'm always early. The front door was wide open which is really inviting. The ceilings are high and the space is open. You can see from the front to the back and right out the huge front windows. This is my first trip to a "nail salon" rather than a spa and I could see the small differences. I wasn't offered anything to drink, not even water. That's standard fare for a spa. The other major difference is that while it was a spa pedicure it wasn't very spa focused. I can't even imagine a non-spa pedicure in a nail salon. I'm used to the sugar scrub up on to my calves, the massaging of my calves and feet, the heated slippers before polish, air dryers focused on my feet to ensure the pedicure is completely dry, and a slightly neater around the toe nail bed polish clean up. Here is the thing that South Side Nail Candy has that no other spa I've ever been to has ever had... MASSAGE CHAIRS. I'm talking huge leather comfortable massage chairs. Not vibrations. Massage. It's decadent. I mean seriously... MASSAGE during your pedicure. Over all though, my toes look great and I was able to find almost the exact same color to do my own nails. I'd go back if I was looking for a slightly cheaper option than a spa setting.
