Nail Salon In Cancun

[LauraM]

So I'm planning on leaving home Sunday to head to my DW resort. My wedding isn't until Friday. My Nails grow SO fast that it isn't an option to have my manicure done prior to leaving home. Although I've heard that Palace Resort spa/salonsare decent, I've seen some pretty negative reviews about their manicured/pedicures. Has anyone visited a salon in Cancun? I think there's one @ la isla mall of the hotel district but am having trouble confirming that. Or maybe I can get a day pass to another resort that has a reputable salon? Ideas? Thanks!

I'd love to know this too, especially any that do shellac!

I actually just found out that my Make-up artist/hair stylist duo also offer french tips.... not completely sold on that idea though

@@LauraM - I'm in the exact same predicament - leaving on a Sunday and wedding on a Friday. I thought about getting shellac/gel nails done first, but my cuticles get pretty bad after a couple of days. i think i'm going to get a pedicure before I leave but have a manicure done the day before the wedding

 

La isla mall is literally a 5 min walk away from BP, so that's definitely another option! I did check out the spa at BP and it looks clean and they have OPI nail colours

@@tygrrlily I adore that mall and I think our chances are high that there should be a salon in there. Too bad neither of us thought to check while we were in Cancun....  I've never had any services @ the BP salon but I read the tripadvisor reviews and not many people have anything positive to say about the manicures. I've read that they're a rush-job & messy from quite a few different reviewers =( I might look into the moon-palace spa reviews and see if they're any better. It's fairly far away but we get free access and a shuttle.

@@LauraM - Yes, I wish I had looked while there! I remember noting there was a MAC store but didn't even think about looking for other services! Hmm maybe i'll get them done before w/ gel, then just have the BP spa clean up my cuticles if necessary while there
