Best Manicure / Pedicure

Stephanie Garrett

“Stephanie has wonderful taste,” says Malcolm Norton. High praise coming from the boss and owner of Halifax’s Best Salon, Thumpers. Norton says Garrett’s perfectionist attitude results in the best-looking gel nails in the city. “Her nails are really natural,” he explains. “She has a light touch, otherwise the gel nails end up looking like talons and no one wants to have claws.” Unless, of course, you’re Snoop Dogg. 1869 Granville, 429-4900
