Love Nail Okinawa treats your hands and feet right
Thanksgiving Day is the beginning of the year-end holiday season, and that also means that it’s a time to pay attention to your nails. And if you decide you should do something about them, a one-stop beauty salon Love Nail Okinawa at the Depot Island shopping complex in American Village Mihama, Chatan, is a good place to keep in mind.
At Love Nail Okinawa customers can have their nails taken care of in a superior nail salon while enjoying a gorgeous panoramic view of the ocean. On the same visit they can enjoy pedicure, massage chair, body wax, and the specialty of Love Nail Okinawa, their hot footbath! The footbath is the only one anywhere in Okinawa, and definitely worth experiencing.
The view from the salon deserves a special mention. Daytime, customers can enjoy the great view of the blue sky and blue ocean. The sunset is especially beautiful! Just sit back, relax, enjoy your treatment and let the daily stress melt away.
Of course, the skills of the salon staff are absolutely top class, and most of them speak English very well, so most customers have a great time having a friendly chat while being pampered.
The salon offers more than 400 colors of nail gels, and 500 colors for manicure. Both hard and acrylic gels are available.
Prices are very reasonable. For example, manicures start from ¥1,600, toenail coloring from ¥2,900, and kids’ manicure from ¥1,600 including a choice of art, stone, glitter, parts, sticker and hologram works. Love Nail Okinawa welcomes visits for just the foot spa, which features a jacuzzi in the tub. Many men also come to enjoy the service.
Cleanliness and sterilization of the equipment is something Love Nail Okinawa takes very seriously. The salon uses Barbicide for sterilizing all equipment, and changes head cover sheets after each treatment to ensure everything is very clean and safe.
Customers visiting with kids are very welcome. The salon has 2 TVs showing programs for kids and adults, and the small ones can also get their nails done, and even body art if they so wish. Free soft drinks are available while you wait to be pampered.
The manager of Love Nail Okinawa, Miyuki Tate, says, “I used to work at a nail salons both on and off base for a long time before opening this salon. I thought I would like to offer my skills in a great relaxing place. I especially wanted a place where customers could watch Okinawa’s beautiful ocean while getting pampered. I’m sure if I were a worker at a salon, all I could do for the customer would be what the salon’s rules dictate, but in my own salon I can do my best while creating a place for my customers to relax and enjoy. I can also add a touch of Japanese sensitivity to the experience. The customer’s satisfaction is my best pleasure. Tate explains.
She’s also happy to see male customers who are visiting her salon in increasing numbers.
