I really do hate leaving negative reviews, however this place failed on such a monumental scale that 24 hours later I am actually in physical pain.
I normally do my own mani/pedi and opted to get a pedi here as I was simply walking past and saw they had a $35 pedicure deal going and I am leaving on my second honeymoon tomorrow so I thought it would be perfect and save me some time. I was so, so wrong.
I asked if gel polish would be extra and was told yes it is $10 more. That's fine it's worth it for polish that doesn't chip.
I, like many other women love getting pampered from time to time, a manicure, pedicure, massage, etc... That's ME time, I want to be able to chill out.
My nail tech came in with her (2? Year old) child and started doing my nails, the child was incredibly poorly behaved.
She grabbed tools to do my nails from an OPEN autoclave bag, so who knows how many people those have been reused on.
Her child constantly pulled on her arm while she was cutting back the edges of my toenail (which really didn't need doing, now it's probably going to get ingrown!) and proceeded to physically cut me. To which she just ignored that it had happened. Great, now I probably have HEP from your non sterile equipment.
She then put my bleeding toe into the water before I could do anything about it.
It wasn't a huge cut, but still my blood is all through their drains now and who knows how many other people they have done this to and given that they didn't even autoclave their equipment I highly doubt they clean out heir foot spa pumps.
After cutting one toe the lady then started on my other foot. Her son scrambled onto the chair beside me and she told me to play with him.
I really didn't want to be an asshole to a small child so I put down my phone and humoured him. But I'm sorry, why the hell am I PAYING to babysit your child?!??!!!!
I am NOT a kid person, much less a kid person when they are grabby and obnoxious and shoving their mothers phone literally in my face!
After that I then was directed to the nail station where the nail tech awkwardly painted my nails under the table while i rested my foot on her knee, personal space?
While she we doing this her child grabbed two stools and began ramming them into each other across the entire length of the shop.
As it was under the table and I was seriously pissed off and distracted I really couldn't see just how terrible of a job she had done until she was finished.
The polish is patchy, not fully set in places and already coming off less than 24 hours later.
To add insult to injury (literally) I was charge $50 after being quoted $45 as she claimed removing my existing polish was extra. "Sorry for not saying" yeah... Sure you are sorry.
So I attempted to go for s run tonight before I leave for Hawaii and found after one Km that she had not filed the edges of my nails or painted the edge, so they were so sharp on the corners I now have blisters where the smaller toes sit beside the bigger ones, and where she cut my big toe open is swollen and incredibly sore.
I guess my second honeymoon is going to be a no hiking experience. Thanks fashion nails, you cheap dishonest crooks. read more
