ZEN NAILS & SPA

Zen Nails & Spa is a nail salon and spa offering manicures, pedicures, gel and SNS work, acrylic sets, waxing and facials for women and men. Its pedicure menu is the most extensive part of the list, from a $25 express pedicure up to a $70 golden pedicure with honey sugar scrub, hot stone and paraffin. Kids' nail services are also on the menu.

The salon says it uses disposable buffers and files, never recycles paraffin wax, and uses liner protection during pedicures. Walk-in and booking options are listed on the site, and it is open Monday through Saturday with shorter Sunday hours. The shop is at Ballantyne Commons Parkway in Charlotte.
