My daughters and I finished up a bachelorette weekend in Wilmington, NC with a morning of services at Porters Neck Spa. The girls had facials and massages which they enjoyed very much. Everyone working at the spa was friendly, low-key, punctual and knowledgeable about her specialty. I had the BEST service of all: a pedicure by Kelly. For almost a full hour, she attended to every detail of my feet as though there was nothing else happening in the world. She was very gentle (important to someone with ticklish feet) and completely thorough, going back to re-check her work to be sure it met her standards. The leg massage was firm but not painful (often another problem for me), and each section of each foot was attended to separately. Four days later, my feet still look & feel brand new. In all the pedicures I have had, the word "peaceful" has never before come to mind. This was a very rare experience. The only reason I haven't booked a pedicure a month for the rest of my life is that I live in Chicago! If you want a terrific pedicure in a charming place, Porters Neck Spa is the location, and Kelly is the person to ask for!
