TLDR: $35 for a classic pedicure seems to be the cheapest in the area and it's average service, so you get what you pay for. Overall, I'd recommend.
Detailed review:
Let me preface by saying I'd rate it a 3.5-3.75 if I could be specific.
Aesthetics wise, it's a beautiful salon! My husband and I were getting classic pedicures and the massage chairs were elegant, comfortable and functional so I couldn't ask for better in regards to that. I liked that the chairs had a built in massage controller instead of the remote attached by a cord. The only thing that could make these chairs better was if there was a heat function. We were immediately offered drinks upon sitting down. I didn't know my options, but we both just asked for water and were given generous 16oz bottles, which was awesome.
Moving onto the service... we were greeted warmly when we entered. I had made the appointment an hour ago via phone and they were pleasant. I picked out my color (not a gel) and they directed us to our chairs. They wrap the basin with plastic which I appreciate for cleanliness purposes. For both me and my husband, I didn't see with my own eyes them unwrapping new tools, but the tools they used on our feet did appear fresh/clean. Even though we stated we just want the classic pedis, they still gave us a menu and tried to upsell to one of the deluxe options. Throughout the pedi, my woman tried to upsell me to gel which I politely declined. Then she asked if I was going to get my eyebrows waxed, I politely declined and said I have a spot that I over plucked and I'm waiting for the hair to grow out before I touch them again. She then stated yeah, I can see where it's messed up, that's why I offered. I didn't really enjoy that flaw being pointed out, but I don't think she had malicious intentions. I chose a shimmery pink color that reflected purple in the sun. When she put it on by itself, it was so light you couldn't tell I had anything on so she asked if I still wanted it. I wasn't sure so she graciously took the reigns and grabbed this pretty solid pink as a base and said we could layer them, which is the result you see below and I thought that was a great idea. I will say she only did one layer of the pink base and one layer of the shimmery coat before doing clear polish to seal it and I wish she had done more. On my left foot (pictured), the big toe doesn't have the best coverage with the pink and the tip isn't fully painted.... After she did that, she just told me to wait for it to dry and started a manicure on another patron (which I have no problem with). Even though he was finished, they allowed my husband to stay in the chair next to me since they weren't busy. What I didn't like was after telling me to just let it dry, nobody gave us any further direction so after 30 minutes, I stood up and asked if we can pay and leave, which prompted another employee to cash us out. I don't really know what's normal with pedicures because I don't get them often, but I thought it was weird they didn't follow up after finishing painting. I assumed they used the UV light thing to dry pedicures, but maybe that's only with gel, so no points docked there. One other thing to note is they don't use toe separators if you need them, just a piece of paper towel snaked between your toes. Also, no fake little flip flops. I had to put my crocs back on (no biggie, just not what I'm used to).
Ultimately, the primary reason it doesn't get 5 stars for me is a) the paint coverage/thoroughness and b) being left with no direction other than wait for 30 minutes. I'd still go back to give them another shot, especially if I was planning to get a bigger service than just a classic pedicure. read more
