And my never-ending struggle to find the perfect nail salon continues...\n\nS&T is conveniently located in Oakland.  It's best to call ahead and make an appt, they absolutely give priority to appts over walk-ins (as they should!).  Parking is available on-street at the meters, but being Oakland, you may not find a spot as close as you'd like.\n\nMy pedi was standard.  No massage, and the technician kept stopping what he was doing to glance up at the TV.  All in all, he was done in 25 minutes (not including the nail design).  Not great, not totally awful.  The kicker was waiting over 20 minutes for the polish to dry before the design I requested could be applied.  I've never had to wait that long anywhere else before.  The design was great, though!\n\nLess than a week and I already have chips in the polish:(  No waxing services offered here, either.  $35 for a half-assed pedi with a cool design....eh my search goes on!
