5 /5 Raheem Alli: Looking for a way to pamper ourselves and relax, I scheduled a couple’s manicure & pedicure at Moonshine & Co (a business that my wife has had on her radar to visit). The individual that I scheduled the appointment through was extremely personable and patient as I inquired about the services offered. After confirming the date and time, I provided the employee with my debit card information to reserve both appointments. Ironically, it rained on the day of our appointment (yes I know this is a random thing to say), setting the perfect backdrop for us to get our services + have a few adult beverages.
Upon walking into the establishment, I was warmly greeted by the owner, Lien, who was arranging a few things behind the bar. After checking me in, Lien provided me with the drink menu and kindly offered some suggestions pertaining to the popular drinks. Lien prepared the Blood Orange Margarita that I ordered (how cool is it that the owner can also bartend!) as I took in the open space, warm lighting, and soulful tunes playing. Once my wife arrived, both nail professionals greeted and ushered us to a table for our manicures.
As I received my manicure (I opted for clear polish), Olimpia (the nail professional) ensured that I was relaxed by making pleasant conversation. After confirming my preference of water temperature (hot), Olimpia started the pedicure process. Sensing that I have ticklish feet, she did a great job of checking in with me between exfoliating, moisturizing, and massaging my feet. At the conclusion of our services, my wife and I enjoyed a second round of drinks as we basked in the relaxing environment.
I love the concept of being able to enjoy a relaxing service while partaking in a craft cocktail. Before I conclude this review, I also want to highlight that this is a natural nail salon; therefore, there is no use of UV gel polishes or acrylics that can negatively impact the health of your nails. I look forward to a future visit to enjoy the Spring Dragon cocktail + nail services!
