Best Places For A Manicure In DFW

Keeping one's hands in tip-top condition is a must for anyone in business. A firm handshake from a nicely manicured hand is noticed. Even if you are a student or retired, we use our hands so much that they deserve some pampering. Here are a few of the best places in the DFW area to go for a manicure.

Lush Nail Lounge is an urban oasis on Greenville Avenue. Decorated with a New York/Japan and Dallas skyline murals and mosaic walls, the ambience alone transports you to a place where fun happens. Lush Nail Lounge offers eight different types of manicures but one of particular note is the Long Island Iced Tea Manicure $25. It focuses on neglected hands. Aloe is used to hydrate while antioxidant green tea with a thyme masque will soothe stressed hands, fresh oranges are used with a sugar scrub, as well as paraffin wax to lock in moisture followed by Codi brand green tea lotion for a hand massage. Complimentary beverages include red and white wine, piña coladas and strawberry daiquiris. Lush offers karaoke parties for five or more and 50 percent off any service on your birthday.

Pampering has gone high tech with Downtown Dallas' newest nail salon, Pink Toes. Mini iPads loaded with iTunes movies and Pandora music and Beats by Dre headphones are offered at the manicure/pedicure stations. The VIP manicure, called the Pink Cadillac Hot Stone Spa Treatment ($40), includes a sea salt scrub and mask in your choice of mandarin orange, milk and honey, cucumber melon, and lavender, followed by hot towels and hot stone massage with a neck and shoulder massage. Complimentary wine, beer, sangria and Champagne are offered with the service and designer polish is also available.

Fresh fruit is used in creating a manicure treatment that will make you feel like you have escaped to islands. Organic scrubs in yummy flavors like coconut, mango, lemon-lime, cucumber, strawberry, chocolate, green-tea with rose petals or milk and honey are just a few of the ways one can be pampered at Hawaiian Nail Bar. As a special birthday gift, it offers manicures at 50-percent off. For adults, complimentary strawberry daiquiris, pina coladas, and red and white wine are offered and for children, coconut and strawberry slushies. Open seven days a week and on Friday and Saturday, the nail bar is open until midnight.
