People notice your hands, which is one reason it can be important to have well-groomed nails, and the folks at Nail Bar make it easy to keep your nails in tip-top shape. If you're visiting during the weekend or lunch hour it's a good idea to have a reservation, but otherwise you're welcome to simply walk in.

This nail salon offers all the standard mani-pedi services you expect, as well as a number of add-on massage options. You can go for the basic package that includes hand and forearm massage, or you can splurge on the full twenty-minute neck and shoulder massage if you really want to relax. The space itself feels modern and contemporary, thanks to a large central nail bar that resembles a restaurant's marble-topped bar more than the small mobile nail stations that define traditional salons. In keeping with this aesthetic, regulars note that this place even allows you to order a glass of wine or a cocktail while you have your nails done.
