Ever have an experience at a local business and believe Ashton K. was going to come out of a corner with a ton of cameras because the only logical explanation for the bizarre experience you're having is that you're being Punk'd?
Well, I did.
A MUST READ!!
So ladies, if you workout hard, run, and/or perform strenuous athletic activities like I do, you know you're going to end up with ingrown nails, calluses, and corns from time-to-time. When I walked in, I told the check-in attended I was there for my appointment. I told her I had a really painful ingrown nail that would need to be removed asap by someone who knows how to do so.
She guided me to a woman named "So-Pee", not really sure how it's spelled but it's like Sophie without the "fee" sound.
Anyways, my appointment was for a Mani/Pedi. I was taken to the pedicure chair first which seemed dirty and unhygienic. Gross. The water she prepared for me was lukewarm, not even a sliver of comforting hot, bubbling water to make you feel relaxed, in fact...no bubbles @ all.
The pedicure was done in a blink of an eye. She was so eager to get done and in such a rush that it literally took 20 minutes from start to finish; I timed it. I told SoPee as well about my ingrown. She merely picked at it a bit with her device and said that was that. I asked, "are you sure it's gone?" She said "oh yeah!" And rolled her eyes at me with a huge attitude!! Wtf??
She then "scrubbed" my feet with a pumice stone for a total of 20 second on each foot. Please, people, look @ my pics. She didn't do a thing, no dead skin was removed, nothing. It was like she was rubbing my feet for second with a rock instead of actually scrubbing. My 10 year old cousin could do better than SoPee.
After I was done, I was taken over to the manicure chair. The little tray with rocks was so dirty that the water was a weird, cloudy color. The manicure took 15 minutes, and just like the pedicure, was done so poorly and with zero efforts. I had brought my OWN POLISH and she refused to paint all the way back to the cuticle (salons do this so that you could go back sooner). I asked her to do that and she refused, still. My nails looked like they were painted by a child, no joke.
At the end of it all, I just wanted to GTFO of there ASAP. I was drying my nails when the owner came up to me and asked me how I heard about them. I told her it was through a Yelp Elite event I attended where they were giving out gift certificates so I wanted to take advantage and try them out in-store. After telling her that...the owner, not once, asked me how my services were. If she had, I would've gladly had diarrhea of the mouth and told her what a lousy nail tech she has on her staff.
Even though my pedicure was discounted, I wouldn't go back to this place even if it was free! I came home and had to scrub my own feet and take out the ingrown nail myself.
My favorite part of my mynail.com experience was when I opened that door and left that establishment. Ashton K., I still have faith you were hiding in there somewhere for that hour I was succumbed to this place. Awful, just awful. read more
