WARNING!! SERIOUS FUNGUS PROBLEM!!
I get a manicure and pedicure every two weeks and have done so for years. I never had a fungus problem of any kind. Although Lyne Giroux is not my regular spa, I went there because I was given gift certificates to use for my wedding.
I went with some family members and was poorly treated from the very first minute. Two of the people who were with me are seniors and were spoken to with such disrespect by the two young girls serving us (Cynthia and Jessie); told aggressively to hurry up and choose their colours, this was followed by several more orders barked at them about the placement of their purses etc.
Since I was there for my wedding, I bit my tongue. The entire manicure and pedicure treatment was uncomfortable and unpleasant. Cynthia and Jessie refused to speak to each other, using us to communicate with the other, as though we were all young children, extremely unprofessional. It was later explained to us (in whisper) that Jessie had tried to get Cynthia fired, and they used to be friends, but now they hate each other bla bla bla. They would even tell us not to tip the other, when one of them would step away for a minute. I am an avid traveler and have been to many spas around the world, I have NEVER had such an unprofessional and terrible service in my life.
During my pedicure, Cynthia was very rough and I was questioning her technique. She even cut my ring finger (on my left hand!) during the manicure, literally cut a piece of skin off the top of my finger, so I had a big scab at my wedding, she didn't even apologize, and told me to squeeze it till it stopped bleeding.
Fast forward to 10 days later when I took the nail polish off, and I had a green toe nail!! Note that I had not been in any type of pool, hot tub, gym, other spas, or any other kind of place during those two weeks where I could have picked up a fungus.
I immediately phoned the spa, spoke with the manager Irina, they didn't act surprised at all about the fungus, and offered me a bottle of anti-fungul solution which they sell there. She told me that they would also offer me a pedicure. When I told her I never wanted a treatment from them again, and wanted to be compensated in another way, she told me to come in the next day when Lyne Giroux the owner would be there, and speak to her, cause she would be more likely to do something for me if I spoke to her in person, but told me not to tell the owner that Irina sent me. Unbelievable how the entire staff is unprofessional; backstabbing, secrets and lies.
The owner wasn't there when I went in, so I left a message for Irina the manager to call me and follow-up about my compensation, but she never did. For 5 days I called everyday to speak to her, and everyday I was given a different excuse as to why she couldn't come to the phone (once even hearing her in the background, telling the receptionist to tell me - she's going to be busy all day).
When I finally got a hold of her, she told me that I should consider myself lucky that they gave me the anti-fungul bottle because their insurance company advised them to stop doing so as it makes them culpable, and thus they are not willing to compensate me in any way. When I asked her why she hadn't called me back, she told me that it had been her birthday, and she got engaged, and she has a life outside of work and can't be expected to return all her calls.
