My first time experience here was not great.
I called and asked them for what I wanted (gel pedi & full set) and also asked if an appointment was required, the woman on the phone said no and I could be taken right away whenever was best for me to come. she was friendly on the phone. I told her I would be there in 10 minutes.
When I arrived the salon seemed your typical walk in walk out salon, nothing special. "moderately clean" from the waiting area point of view.
I waited 20 minutes at least until the woman sat me down for my pedi. No words were ever said during the entire appointment so I do not know the name of the older lady I had. I believe she could have been the owners mom but not quite sure.
I am pretty sure I received the worst pedicure of my life.
I had previous gel on my toes and she brought out this heavy duty electric nail file, that was clearly contaminated with previous nail filings. So then and there I knew that they do not properly sanitize their equipment. You would think that would have changed during a global pandemic?
she filed my toe nails down so much that they are now paper thin. I am going to have to put acrylic on them just so they keep from breaking.
When it came time for her to shape my toes, I told her I like them perfectly squared. she did not even glance up or acknowledge me at all and proceeded to round out my corners and then did the lightest strokes of the nail file that she might as well had done nothing. By now I pretty much knew where this was headed..
At this point, I told her she can just skip the gel polish , I wasn't going to be getting it.
she continued with the pedicure and when it came time for the scrub part, she reached out for the big tub of scrub that was clearly placed in the middle of the two pedicure chairs, and she just goes in and grabs it with her dirty gloves. How many people's dirty pedicure water has been in this scrub??? the proper protocol would have been to scoop it out with something so you don't cross contaminate.
At this point, I'm skipping the full set & gel polish all together.
The owner kept insisting I get the full set and it made me feel very uncomfortable.
The entire experience was so incredibly uncomfortable and not at all what it should be.
Would never recommend to anyone. it was awful. read more
