Client Reviews:
I had a lovely experience at my first visit to Day Break. My nail technician was Markel and she was so kind and caring. She made the space inviting and my nails look amazing. I don’t get to do a pedicure often and this experience left me feeling fresh and comfortable. She helped with knowledge and andvice about my nails to keep them looking amazing & healthy. I enjoyed the friendly conversation. It felt like visiting with a friend. I will definitely be returning.
