Just saw Naomi yesterday for an acrylic fill and pedicure--same attention to detail and wonderful conversation as always. Some of the reviews on this site talk badly of the unsophisticated atmosphere at Impressions Salon, but as one who has traveled Europe and the Middle East, I say with experience that one cannot judge the quality of service one will receive by the appearance of the establishment. Most often, our most memorable meals or other services have been had in what we affectionately refer to as "holes in the walls." Likewise, I have had fills and pedicures in fancy salons that were done quickly and carelessly, leaving me with a high priced mess. I don't think Naomi or the hair dressers at Impressions set their prices adequately for their skill and experience, but I understand they are forced to accommodate the ability of the target population to pay. As a result, and as someone who appreciates skillful service, I pay them what I feel their service was worth, which typically 1.5-2 times their asking price. I think it's important to let people know that you appreciate their attention to your needs and their willingness and ability to provide them. So, yes, in response to "Shera S'" negative review, (ironic we'd have the same first name and last initial), but I'd much rather sit in an old office chair getting my pedicure in a portable foot bath if I know I'm going to be enjoying beautifully engineered nails the next 2-3 weeks: it's much better than sitting in a reclining massage chair surrounded by chrome-laden matching tables and counter tops and hip hop music playing in the background. I guess it's just a matter of knowing what matters to you, what your priorities are. read more
