10 Minute Manicure

Long lasting polish! I was out in about 10 minutes as advertised. They use a «super-​fast drying, shiny top coat that will dry the top layer of your manicure or pedicure in 60 seconds! Durable anti-​chip resistantI»
I agree, my polish lasted nearly 2 weeks without a chip. I wished I had bought some extra, but thankfully they sell it online now. If more nail salons used their products, they’d have a lot more happy customers.

With time to kill before a flight, I came upon this terminal J kiosk. While manicures may seem to be this mini-spa’s forte, I watched on as a lady sighed in relief and then grimaced in pain from a chair massage. It was one of those hurt so good moments. A moment that I, after a number of long haul flights, longed for. So I dropped my bags and waited patiently for my turn in the torture chair.
The Cuban woman who took me on offered me a knowing look. She saw right through me and spoke to my soul: «I am going to wring you out,» she seemed to suggest. I slid into my fate and pressed my face against the paper-​covered face cushion (sanitary concerns be gone).
Treating me like Stretch Armstrong, she pulled at my arms, bending and kneading them. She drove her elbows into my back finding webs of knots from one too many round-​trips in a contortionist’s economy seat and one too many days spent in front of a computer. Relief. Pain. Happiness. After 10 minutes, I paid for another 10.

My poor mom was worse off after getting a manicure here than she was before, with unmanicured nails… steer clear!

This is the perfect solution to a busy gal’s hectic travel schedule — especially when it gets in the way of the regular mani/​pedi schedule. (not to be sexist — perfect for the busy guy on the run — they also have a sports mani especially in mind for the well groomed guy). Services range from a truly quick fix 10 minute mani, to upgrades that will make neglected hands look oh so fabulous again — my nails and cuticles were a hot mess when i sat down, and by the time I motored on 25 minutes later (i indulged in a 20 minute mani), my hands were so much happier!
Good quality products and quality aestheticians. New tools are used for each customer, so it is a top notch operation and the perfect way to spend that time waiting for your departure. The only improvement I might offer is that a glass of champers to totally take the edge off would put this place over the top!
