Gervais Nails and Spa located in the Vista is perfect for students looking to relax after a long week of classes or exams or, really, any customers who want to be pampered in a clean, welcoming environment.

When customers arrive, they are offered a beverage and greeted with a smile from a receptionist that can answer any questions they may have. In order to ensure every customer receives exactly what they want, the technicians offer a large selection of colors, brands and techniques. Some of the nail services offered include dip powder, acrylics and gel polish which start as low as $40 and are done by professional and experienced technicians. If you’ve had an especially stressful week, treat yourself to the deluxe spa pedicure, complete with a sea salt scrub, hot stone massage and more pampering to be sure you look and feel able to conquer the next week.

If you’re not looking for a manicure or pedicure, the spa offers other services to cater to your needs as well. Some of their additional services include eyebrow waxing, bikini waxing and eyelash extensions.

For cash-strapped college students, Gervais Nails and Spa offers student discounts with a valid ID. These discounts include a $25 “quick pedicure” and both a pedicure and gel polish manicure for only $55.

Appointments can be made by calling ahead, but walk-ins are welcome if you have an unexpected desire to relax and feel pampered
