"The Best Manicures and Pedicures from Soho to San Francisco"
July 2003

A self confessed germaphobe, owner Donna Perillo consulted with doctors before opening Sweet Lily late last year. Aestheticians sterilize implements in an autoclave after each use and store them in pouches. Soaks and foot scrubs are made from mostly organic ingredients. Wendy Liu soaked our hands and feet in warm milk and almond oil, then scrubbed them with a mixture of ground walnuts, brown sugar, and honey before polishing our nails with a flawless pale pink pedicure. We just wish that such fastidiousness came at a lower price: Our two hour treatment cost more than twice the usual place on the corner. Honey Walnut Manicure and Pedicure $100.
