Message from the Business
These are dark days for our economy. So as our small way of making sure everyone gets a little economic recovery, we are temporarily dropping the prices of our three most popular nail treatments. Now you can still get luxurious spa nail treatments, done by highly skilled professionals in a fun, comfortable, and highly sanitary environment, all at the same prices as the "chop shop" nail salons charge.
Vanilla Sky manicure $18 (reg $25)
Peppermint Pedi pedicure $30 (reg $45)
Vanilla Sky/Peppermint Pedi combo for $45 (Nail Sale Exclusive)
We have even included San Francisco's favorite pedicure, the Moji-Toe, for $45! (reg $60).
This sale ends on 4/30/10, but see our website for details on how you can receive these prices indefinitely by making us your regular nail salon.

on Citysearch Jan 31, 2008I have been getting brazilians for years and TRU is by far the best. They use hard wax, which doesn't stick to your skin, so you don't feel like a layer of your skin is being ripped off. I have told all of my girlfriends to go... (more)
