WARNING WARNING WARNING
Let begin by saying, Yes I cheated on my normal nail spot. Yes I was out looking for a side-nail shop. Pro Nails and Spa had pulled me in with the chilled fluted wine, exotic seasonal manicures and pedicures,herbal wraps, neck and shoulder massages. Yes I was about to fall for the grass is greener on the other side. Then this happened the worst service of my life. Let's break down the ugly treatment I received.First I'm with my daughter. We are pampering ourselves for a up coming vacation that's starts this Saturday. So we decided to give this place a try. My co-worker said she received good service and they offer drinks. We checked in on Yelp and there is a 5% percent discount on services over $50.00. Winning!! So why not give them a try right? We walk in the host is handling a call. So we waited till she acknowledge us and ask for list of service and prices. So far so good, They have VIP rooms and Spa packages. They offer an intense detail list from chocolate mani/pedi to regular services. My daughter picked Tropical Mani/Pedi that included a special soak,callus treatment, papaya scrub, mango mask, paraffin, 15 minute massage with papaya butter blend.I chose the Pomegranate Mani/Pedi that included Special soak, callus treatment, pomegranate scrub, clay mask. 15 minute massage with butter creme.We informed the host our selection. My daughter the tropical service and me the pomegranate service. We were lead to the back to open chairs ready for us. Its the standard chair that massage you and adjust to your back needs. Not the case, it massaged you and moved you up to the tech only. None of the chairs which had feature to adjusting to your back worked.
The techs and host came over to clarify the service again.
The host: "Ladies you want chocolate and pomegranate service?" Right?"
Me: "No, my daughter is getting the tropical service'.
The host with techs standing by: "Are you aware that's separate prices?"
Me: "Yes"
They: OK
So while this is going on the ' special soak' is just plain water. They get our drink orders and ask again if we were aware of the price of mani/pedi. Yes at this time I'm looking at the tech like she is crazy. So I informed her yes I'm aware since I told the host up front that's the service I wanted.
By this time the techs who act like they don't know English bring their supplies over to begin service. They drop to mineral tablets in the water. I kid you not, we were told again if we understood the price of the service. My feet are soaking by this point and I try my best not to yell. I tell them yes I know the price. They said OK. At this point they go back and forth with knowing how to speak little English and to not understanding any English spoken to them.
We received our chilled wine flutes. Ok let the relaxations begin. She ask to cut nails down. I said yes but don't cut me. She looks at the other tech that's working on my daughter's feet and start speaking their native tongue. (Which I find to be rude but that's just my opinion).
Now it's time the the scrubs to be applied
My daughter's tech say: "Don't this smell nice ?"
My daughter says "no, what is that?
Tech: "rain forest scrub"
My daughter: "I asked for tropical treatment it comes with papaya scrub."
Tech: "yes this is it"
My daughter: "No, it says rain forest"
Its at this point I'm done. I have their service list in hand pointing to the service requested. Tropical Mani/Pedi . The techs are trying to say she asked for the rain forest. When did that happened? So one of the other staff members starts talking to them again in their native tongue. The pull the supply girl over and she said they did not have papaya scrub in. Wait what? The host or tech should have told my daughter that service was unavailable. By now the area is filled with other customers who can hear and see the anger that's in my voice because at this time there is no hold backs. I went in. Why were we not informed of this? Why were you pushing off rain forest scrub? Why can't you read the service listed? Then the tech did the unthinkable. She said "you wanted the same". Kid you not. I said "what did you just say? The other staff member again speak to the techs and they use the pomegranate scrub on my daughter's feet. I get control of myself. I"m trying to remember this is suppose to be bonding and relaxing time. We then decide that we will get manicure for our original nail spot. We sip the wine. Meanwhile the tech for some reason is rushing and doing a harsh job with my feet to the point that water is flying in the air from her using the brush on my toes.
Everything was hushed from that point on. I left out there with my toes still wet.
Yes I read the reviews from yelp. I did not see or received quality service. When it came time to pay the bill with Yelp app in hand did anyone try to give go customer service. It was to late. The grass was not greener. read more
