I just want to find out who rated this place as "Best Nail Spa of Westchester 2020"!!!
Whoever did, has to go to ANY nail salon in the Bronx or Inwood and get their nails done there so that they can really understand what's a good mani&pedi.
I really wanted to like this place as I am looking for a nail salon to become my go to place outside of the city, where I can find parking easily and won't have to wait 2 hours waiting because I can make my appointments ahead of time... I really did wanna like them but sadly the story isn't a good one.
Apparently this place is either a Hit or Miss, cause I decided to come because they had mostly good reviews and those who gave a bad ones, were really bad ones, mine now included on those.
First of all, I made my appointment on 04/29, when I walked in today I was 10 minutes early, which is supposed to be the right thing. A tall, blonde lady in the front welcomed us, asked us to wash our hands and pick our colors, we did in less than 3 minutes. After picking the colors nobody came to us or told us what to do next, they had us standing in a corner for about 15 minutes, then another lady guided us to two empty chairs to seat and wait for about 15 minutes more. Ok, first strike, about 30 minutes waiting, and it's not even the fact that we had to wait but nobody came to inform us we were gonna have to wait, or ask for us to be patient, nothing at all. They lack of organization, they lack of communication. Then another lady comes to me and guides me to seat on one of the pedi chairs...
I made an appointment with "Sophia", Becky did my mani&pedi... nobody informed me I wasn't going to be served by Sophia or if it was ok that someone else did my nails, but I did notice the tall, blonde lady would ask some people if they were ok with having a different person doing theirs, ok, to me that was the second strike... I don't want to call her anything in particular, but I did feel she gave me a bad vibe comparing to how she was treating others while I was also there, first time that happens to me.
At 2:38pm Becky starts my pedi, I have to specify, at 2:38 she put my feet in water, not like she had already done that... at 2:46pm she was ALREADY DONE with my feet and was drying them off. WHAT!?!? WHAT!??!? I was in shock, thinking to myself "WHAT IS THIS!? I COULD HAVE DONE THAT AT HOME LIKE I ALWAYS DO" but I wanted to get a professional pedi and that was NOT that.
She didn't even take 10 minutes to do my feet and toes. NOT EVEN 10 MINUTES!!!!
Ladies, if that's how you get your pedicures done, then we're not ready to have this conversation, cause that was THE WORST PEDICURE I HAVE HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
I'm not a pedicurist and I do better pedicures than the one I had done today, thank God I don't grow cuticles cause if that was the case, I wouldn't have paid.
Becky dries my feet and starts applying base coat at 2:50pm, I have to emphasize I have TEN TOES as most of people do... I HAVE NO IDEA how by 2:54pm she was already asking me to stand up and walk to the manicures table BECAUSE SHE WAS DONE IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES!! Again, WHAATTT!!???!!?
My mani... Ughhh, my desired, beloved manicure was the WORST I have ever had, that too... Before Today I had no idea you can get a NORMAL (paying for) manicure without putting your hands IN WATER to better remove imperfections and prepare for beautiful looking nails. I had the fastest worst manicure ever done Today.
I give them ONE star because Yelp doesn't let you give zero and also because Becky AT LEAST TRIED to do the design I wanted to get done, although it was not what I exactly wanted.
Again, I have to emphasize I don't grow out a lot of cuticles, but because I don't, I don't expect you to just file and use some machine to buff my nails and charge me for a MANICURE. If this is how your nail tech does your manicure we can't be friends and you should NOT read this or go to her/him EVER AGAIN.
Becky gave me cuts on all my left hand fingers. She also didn't remove properly the orange nail polish I had prior to painting my nails today, so I can see the orange in some corners and below the polish on my pinky left finger. I just hope the photos do A LITTLE justice of what I am trying to show because my disappointment is the BIGGEST EVER and I'm not trying to sound like a drama queen.
This is DEFINITELY NOT the "2020 Best Nail Spa of Westchester", I can't really understand who did that to them and if they were EVER that good, try to hire new people and start paying attention to detail and grow a better customer service cause with me and my sister, you definitely didn't gain 2 new customers and you did earn the WORST REPUTATION EVER. My sister, who recently joined Yelp, left a review for herself as she had an EVEN WORSE experience than the one I had.
I have to say as a conclusion that whatever they did to me wasn't worth almost a hundred dollars.
I AM SURE NEVER EVER EVER EVER COMING HERE AGAIN!!!
So much excitement for nothing!!!! read more
