Green Envy Salon & Spa

This place reminds me of a little salon I went to in the Boston North End a few years ago for a mani-​pedi. The place is a small salon, with everything done by a single woman, on the 6^th floor of a converted hotel turned apartment building.
The pedicure is one of those where they use a small tub of water with «hot stones» on the bottom, and the water turns lukewarm to cold by the end of the pedicure. I really prefer those places with the massage chairs and the jacuzzi tubs that maintain the heated water. The owner really loves her nail file. Apparently she doesn’t have nail clippers, and instead used the nail file for everything — shortening the nail, even for the cuticles… I wonder if she’s heard of cuticle scissors?
I wasn’t a huge fan of the manicure either. Once again, since she doesn’t have a pair of nail clippers, she filed my nails down since I told her I liked the rounded square style. However, since she was just filing the nail down, it wasn’t really squared, so much as an angled quadrangle. I did like that she used OPI nail polish, but it wasn’t a huge selection of color. Mostly red and purples, a pink and few other colors. There was a cute greenish gold color, but it was the only real non-​traditional color.
Overall, it was $ 50 for a mani-​pedi. It was way overpriced in my opinion, but if you live in the building, I suppose it’s super convenient.
I’m told she’s a great haristylist, but I guess that doesn’t translate to nail care. Also, it’s cash only.
