Allis154 Posted January 6, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Circumstances (ie...blizzard!) has prevented me from getting a pedicure before I leave (2 days) and now I will have to (ok...want to) have one done while in FL. We are staying at the Embassy Suites, 17th st. Does anyone know of a good day spa in the area? I could wait for the ship, but would rather have it done on land. I have one of google called Dessange. Does anybody know this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob&Bonnie Posted January 6, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 6, 2014 There is a nail shop across the street from Embassy Suites - Harbor Nails - something like that. It's next to Starbucks. I had a mani/pedi there before my November cruise and they did a good job. I believe it was around $30-35? I would be prepared to pay in cash though - there were several gentleman doing some type of business by phone at the back tables that sounded almost like telemarketing. I'm always suspicious of that type of thing :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor_Sally Posted January 6, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 6, 2014 At this time of year Florida is packed with tourists so the nail places get crazy . You may have a long wait unless you can get an appointment in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanineM Posted January 7, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Last spring there was a nail salon in the Publix shopping plaza right by the Embassy Suites. There are a lot of shops in that little area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always suspicious of that type of thing :rolleyes: I've been there a couple of times and I LOVE their service. They do an excellent job on mani/pedis. The last time I went there was Jan and I picked up my Starbucks next door before I went to get a pedicure. I can't praise the service enough. The nails lasted so much longer than others that I've been to. I know you must be back from your trip but for others that are interested....here you go. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maun Posted February 19, 2014 #9 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Dessange is located in the shopping mall behind Embassy Suites (it's on the second level on the right as you walk towards the mall). My sister had a pedicure there one time before our cruise and she was pleased with the service. ~~Maun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister had a pedicure there one time before our cruise and she was pleased with the service. ~~Maun Tried booking there...wouldn't go back. Said we had appointments, but wouldn't confirm...got there and was basically ignored...rude staff. we went to harbor nails...wouldn't go back there either. Mani peeled off in a couple of days...pedi was ok (they use the cheese grater thing...and just put it back in the drawer without sanitizing)...polish had to be reapplied on the ship two days later as it peeled... Wouldn't waste my time or money at either place. I'll get it done at home or wait until the ship. (polish from the ship stayed on until I scrubbed it off last weekend. No chips or anything!)
