We all need a little pampering once in a while, and what better way to go about it than getting the princess treatment with a manicure. But with popular nail salons in town having their schedule packed for months to come, it’s pretty impossible booking a last-minute appointment. Besides, dressing up your digits comes at a price.
As an alternative, here are some nail salons in the heartlands where you can walk in to get a last minute fix, all at reasonably affordable prices. Some may even just be a stone’s throw away from your block!
