Such a delight to see Eminea again. She's really helpful when choosing colours. I have never had a therapist offer to put colours on to see which is the best one before choosing. Nothing is too much bother! She's got a great sense of maturity about her & clearly takes her job very seriously. She's the best therapist I've had doing my nails & I've certainly been round the block! I'm very sorry to have doubted her in the first place as she's not offered as an experienced therapist. In my opinion she's just as good!
