Kathy and Lucy did the Fireworks Pedicure. I was not sure I wanted to pay that much but honestly it was worth every penny. They massaged my feet, arms, hands, shoulders. I was so relaxed I could barely stay awake. They did a fantastic job and my nails are beautiful. I would give ten stars if I could.
