Patch Picks: Nail Salons

Welcome back to Patch Picks, where we cut to the chase and give you the inside scoop on local businesses, destinations, services, organizations, and more.

From Sunday brunch to pizza, New Year’s Eve celebrations, pumpkin patches, date night destinations, florists, kids party places, and more, we’ll help you navigate the many options.

In this week’s Patch Picks, we talk manicures and pedicures. Here are three nail salon options sure to satisfy all tastes and budgets:

• Serenity Nails and Spa: Located in the Village at Newtown Shopping Center, Serenity Nails and Spa offers a good pedicure or manicure for a reasonable price ($30 and under). It is clean, has a relaxing atmosphere, and a friendly staff. Plus, the water is always nice and hot (a must for a good pedicure.) Just note: you can’t tip on your credit card so be sure to have a couple bucks for your technician.
• Freestyle Salon and Day Spa: Located on Sycamore Street, Freestyle is an excellent place for a relaxing, long pedicure at a great price. For just $35, the friendly staff will pamper you with a thorough pedicure, complete with a satisfying foot and leg massage. Manicures start at $16. An appointment is helpful here.
• David J. Witchell: At David J. Witchell, you don’t just get a pedicure -- you get an overall calming experience. A pedicure at this serene spa, located on State Street, is sure to leave you feeling pampered and rejuvenated. But it’s not for the budget-conscience. Albeit worth every penny, the spa pedicure is $60; a hot stone pedicure is $85. An appointment is necessary. David J. Witchell also offers an 85-minute reflexology pedicure for $85. (Ahem, husbands, Mother’s Day is a mere five weeks away.  And nothing says I love you like an 85-minute foot massage. Honey, are you reading?)
