Best of 2003: Best Cheap Pedicure

Diva Nails
7354 University Avenue, La Mesa
619-460-4237

Pick up your nonfat mocha next door at the drive-through Cappuccino House and then settle into the black-leather "Human Touch Technology" chair for a pedicure at Diva Nails. As your feet soak in the heated water, your back is kneaded, compressed, and percussioned by the massaging chair, set to your liking by a hand control. After the five-minute soak, your tired dogs get a long scrub with the buffing bar, dry skin is clipped off, and your nails are trimmed. A few minutes of leg and foot massage follows, then your nails are ready to be painted. $9.99.
