I just came from Avessa Salon in Barrington where I had my usual Gel polish/French manicure.  The consistancy of professionalism and accomodation that they provide is unparralelled, not to mention the consistantly beautiful work.  Ellen, the owner, is a true artist, as are the rest of the staff.  Wouldn't go anywhere else.  Give them a call...you'll love them too!
