    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    I needed some MAJOR pampering after being on my feet day after day. I have extremely high arches, and my feet were just killing me. So after I got off work one day, and before picking up the kids from school, I decided to pamper myself a little with a pedicure.

    I knew BISOU Nail Spa had opened in Karns a while back, and decided to give it a try. As soon as I walked in I thought it would be taking a big hunk out of my budget since it looked soooooo very elegant.

    I was welcomed very promptly after walking in, and told them I was interested in a pedicure. They were extremely polite, and everything was very welcoming, comforting, and RELAXING. I was then asked to select a color of nail polish from a VERY large selection. (Plan on spending at LEAST five minutes trying to make up your mind ladies!)

    I got this AMAZING chair that gave a back massage ( and NOT the kind that hurts either! They went all out getting the chairs that massage you WITHOUT hurting your back).

    The water was a perfect temperature for my feet, and the vibration felt really relaxing on my feet in the foot fixer, and for some reason, not quite sure, the foot fixer(where you soak your feet) had lights in it. It would change from pink, to purple, and blue. It was really relaxing.

    I got the dead skin removed, and a sea salt scrub ( I got the lavender, but they have other scents as well) and they do rub your calves (in case you need to shave....I forgot to before I went), so you may want to wear shorts, capri's, or pants that roll up easily.

    I got the pedicure for $45. That included EVERYTHING, the removal of dead skin, the sea salt scrub, and it was WELL WORTH IT!!!!

    I also got acrylic nails on my big toes to make them a little bit longer ( they were REALLY short), and got a beautiful flower design on each big toe. I got the acrylic nails for $10 extra and he threw in the flower design.

    I felt like a well pampered princess. If you're planning on doing this, make sure you have pleanty of time.... mine took two hours of pampering, and I was well pleased. Unlike most nail salons they don't do your nails super fast and shove you out the door. They take thier time and make sure that you are completely satisfied with your nails.

    Also, I suggest bringing your friends. Why? For one, everything is better with your gal pals, and secondly you get $3 off for each friend you bring with you. What a deal, huh?

    So, go get your friends, plan a girls day out, and get your nails done!

    Guys: you know you have that special lady in your life that BADLY needs some pampering...ESPECIALLY since school has started. So why not earn yourself some brownie points? Go for it ;)
