Having so many different service and treatment options these days (Shellac? Gel? Dip? Acrylic? It’s enough to make your head spin!) makes it easy to find someplace that will accommodate your nail needs—especially if you’re picky or are looking for some fancy nail art designs for a special occasion or vacation.
If you’re in Maine’s capital city, you’re certainly in luck when it comes to manicures and pedicures; go anywhere in Augusta and chances are you’ll be within a stone’s throw of a reputable, trustworthy shop—and they most probably take walk-in appointments and offer other salon services, too.
