The absolute SWEETEST ladies, Miss Vivian and Miss Kathy tag teamed my full set and pedicure so beautifully and efficiently, I will ONLY go here when in the Galveston area! They made me feel stunning before my birthday cruise, and treated my daughter and cousin well as they accompanied me. They both get 5 stars from me, absolutely talented and sweet!
