Since this place received decent reviews and was less expensive then other salons in the area I decided to try it out, about a month and a half ago. I called ahead of time to see if there were openings and was told there were. She took my name, which I then assumed by this act I had made an appointment.
When I got there I was the ONLY person there, and she insisted that I did not have an appointment. I reminded her of our earlier conversation, yet she said that I did not make an appointment. O-K-A-Y.
I think the woman who was giving me my pedicure was new. She was nice enough, a little slow, and I noticed that they were not using a quick drying nail polish. Also, she was not leaving enough time for drying in between coats. That's always a bad sign.
Someone came in while I was there and said she had been quoted $25 over the phone for a pedi. The woman (who may have been the owner) looked her up and down and said, "Oh you sounded younger over the phone, I thought you were a student and we offer student discounts. It's $30." When she was done with the customer, and I was being led to the drying area, I asked her about the student discount (because, though a bit older, I am in fact a student). She looked me up and down and didn't respond at first. So, I said, $25 right? And she said, "For you, $28." O-K-A-Y.
My pedicure only lasted me until the next day despite being very careful and not wearing close-toed shoes for an entire day because I was worried that it wasn't fully dry, even after sitting under the lamp and fan for 20-25 minutes. It was actually cool that week and my feet were cold so I wore close-toed shoes the next day for a few hours. When I took them off that evening, my big toes were totally smudged.
I give them 2 stars because the woman who did my pedicure, even though very slow, was very nice. I will never go there again. read more
