SEARCHNAILS sent our student blogger Tisha Allen — who, as of this issue, will be a newly licensed nail tech — to find a clean and professional nail salon in her area for those days that she needs a little pampering for herself.

> I made an appointment with Oxygenix lead nail artist Lisa Le. I got a basic pedicure, and the foot scrub and massage was truly relaxing. Le is the younger sister of Oxygenix owner, Tina Le, who has been a longtime manicurist for tennis player Serena Williams.
> Oxygenix prides itself in providing a full-service nail experience, and also offers waxing, skin care services, and lash enhancements. Most of the staff — more than 15 nail technicians — are also full specialists. Some specialize in acrylic application, others in hard gel and gel-polish application, and most offer nail art. Oxygenix is known for 3-D and hand-painted nail art.
>The spa specializes in gel-polish manicures and pedicures with a number/color coordinated nail color bar to assist clients in selecting the perfect hue. They also offer NexGen, Bio Sculpture Gel, and even have a separate private medical massage and pedicure room where they provide specialized pedicure treatments and foot massages.
> Oxygenix offers text message advanced appointment bookings for their clients. Some of their special services and products include Dead Sea salt pedicures, CND acrylics, Bio Sculpture Gel gel-polish, Next Gen, and OPI and Essie traditional polishes.
Clients enjoy manicures at the ultra-comfortable polish bar.
Oxygenix keeps tidy and organized at the UV sterilization station and acrylic and NexGen bar.
The pedicure stations are made semi-private with the use of decorative bead curtains.
