I went in to get a mani/pedi before going to a class reunion. I had an older asain man doing my nails that had just finished a client and he filled the tub with water and within a min he asked me to come sit. Since I am a cosmotology graduate and know about sanitation, In my head I was questioning in my head if he had sanitized all of the tools. I doubt he did. I sit down anyway, soak in unwarm water and after removing polish he just starts filing my nails. Did not ask me if I wanted them trimmed at all. I spoke up and said, don't you think they are in need of trimming that is what I am here for. All he said in his broken english was that they will look beautiful when he is done, that i'll see. I have a nail that curls down close to the skin and he didn't think it should be trimmed?! In beauty industry, all he was doing was saving time. He was trying to snip my cuticles which was really painful when my feet had not soaked long enough. Then he was using that same snipper instead of a curette to go under my nails to clear away debris under nails, I found slight pain when he used the cutical snipper under my big toe,...I even pulled my foot back hoping he'd get the clue. When he lifted my foot and grabbed his pumice stone, (the kind shaped like a bar of soap) it was wet and clearly used on the client before me. I just know he didn't have time to sanitize....It would have been nice to see him grab it out of barbicide. I was wearing black flip flops which stain the bottoms of my feet when I wear them. He showed me his dirty pumice stone and said,"really dirty" I had to explain to him my flip flops did it and he actually told me to buy new shoes! When it was time to do my french style nail paint, I asked him to make them natural looking...the white area thin. Instead of saying ok,....he told me his opinion and that I will see it will look beautiful. When he was done with the white tips he asked me what I thought and I said its fine and he said no they're beautiful. So much for what your customer thinks. I then asked him if he was going to paint the nail with a flesh color or irredecent color like I am used to and he ssaid no just clear, showing the natural nail is best. Everytime I tried talking to him, it was clear he was just going to do the run of the mill job on me which was probably all he was taught. I doubt he even has a license at this point. When it came time for my manicure, he barely soaked my fingers...in umwarm water,...he made one of my cuticles bleed when trimming. He slapped the paint on my hands so fast that is was so gummy and I had clear polish underneath almost every nail drying the skin under my nail! While I was sitting under the light drying them, I decided I better tell him it was very gummy and showed him under my nails. So what does he do?...he takes my hand and he used his fingernail and slit under each one of my fingers to free the skin~instead of using nail polish remover. So i still had clear polish on my skin and in the corners the skin was still glued to nail with clear polish. He tells me it's because he's not done. Then he walks back with more clear polish and applies it to each nail. Whatever this polish was caused a ton of tiny bubbles to surface towards the top of the nail. I just let it dry and paid chalking it up to just never going back there again. I walk outside and my nails have a slight violet tint from whatever that last sealer was that he put on but my toes didn't! By the time I went to my event that night the tips of my nails were all bubbled up and thick, tips on fingers gummed off my next morning after paying 50 buck to get this done. What a waste!!! Please don't waste your time/money on going to this place. I learned my lesson! I doubt this guy was even licensed....they need to be inspected for sanitation! read more
