I know we've discussed this before, but I CANNOT find the thread, so I'm going to post a quick new one. I had asked about nail salons, especially reasonably priced and able to accommodate a larege amount of guests.
I researched and gathered a lot of info I wanted to share, and hopefully save some OBX brides valuable time!
Someone had alerted me to "Ocean Nails" in Southern Shorts (right near HGI). They certainly lack in the website department, BUT make up for it in size and price. I chose to go here in order to accomodate my large group (10-12 ladies) and their wallets. It's only $35 for a combo mani/pedi AND they can take TEN people at a time for pedicures. She said it's about an hour to do the combo. A la carte: mani=$15, pedi=$25. No deposit needed, I just reserved our time slot over the phone. Also ok for us to bring in champagne/snacks. Seems like your typical nail salon you'd go to anywhere. I'll report on details!
Other (nicer, more spa-like salons) are as follows: (all allowed you to bring in food/drink to celebrate)
Harioics- Kill Devil Hills- $67 combo, +$6 for french, $200 deposit (applied to total), 4 pedi stations.
Eden Day Spa- Corolla & Duck- $60 combo, +$10 for french, mani=$22-32, pedi=55-70. Minimum amt required to hold the time. 3 pedi stations
Diva's- Southern Shores- $60 combo (1.5 hrs), mani=$20-30, pedi =$40-60, credit card # to hold the reservation, 3 stations
Koru Village- Avon- $65 combo
Spa Vogue- Kitty Hawk- $70-$100 combo
Lotus Day Spa- Kitty Hawk- express combo = $50 (45 mins), express mani=$20 15 minutes; express pedi= $30 and 30 mins. Deluxe mani= $30-45, deluxe pedi= $50-$65. Smaller day spa, harder to accommodate large groups, but will do it whenever they can. Only 2 stations (if not for that, I would have chosen here)
