| - A little skeptical about the completely perfect five star reviews for this business. I wouldn't go back.
My friend and I had appointments last night for mani/pedis (I had regular, she had gel). It was totally dead - so they got started on mine right away but my friend sat and waited about 10 minutes before they started on hers.
Her toes were bleeding within a few minutes. Mine didn't bleed but REALLY hurt because of the cuticle picker tool. (I get pedicures regularly in Atlanta where I live and they never use that tool. Last night I had trouble sleeping because my toes were so raw that it hurt every time they brushed up against the sheets. The ladies doing the work on our toes tried to laugh it off.)
They didn't bring my friend the gel color options until she asked for it twice, and then they didn't have the color she wanted.
Even though our appointments were an hour before their closing time, the whole staff seemed to be in a big rush to get out. One of two women who were switching on and off doing my nails complained of a headache (I can imagine it sucks to work in there with the chemical smells, but it was strange that she was telling me how quickly she wanted to leave). My friend's gel nails had to be re-done several times due to rushing and the nails not fully setting.
We stood in front of the checkout area for an awkwardly long time, staring at one of the women in front of us who was giggling and texting on her phone. Waiting for her to look up. "Ah, we are ready to check out now!" my friend finally said as politely as possible. "Ok" she said, without looking up. Several more seconds go by .... finally one of her coworkers comes up, gently pushes her and her texting aside, and checks us out.
Price list isn't posted so I was a bit surprised; $50 for mine and $65 for my friend's. Those prices are WAY HIGH for the quality we received. I would have expected more like $30-40 range max. I suppose we should have checked that first.
Plus, beware, they don't accept credit card tips.
