Ruby Nails
With so many pop-up nail salons saturating the area, rushing you in and out in less than 15 minutes, it’s a relief that high quality salons like Ruby Nails are still a staple on Lake Avenue. Treat your mom, sister, friend… whoever your Valentine may be to the best spot on Lake Avenue. We love Ruby Nails for a few good reasons. For starters, they sterilizes all equipment with every use. When you come to a salon for a little R & R, you deserve not to be rushed, stellar customer service and high end products used like OPI and Essi. Ruby Nails is the one salon in St. James that embraces an unwinding, lavish spa experience. We recommend a Mani/Pedi combo for $25 or splurge on the special Hot Cream Mani/Pedi for $44.
