| - Went to Essential Beauty Bar for a shellac mani and regular pedi. My fiancé got regular mani-pedi.
I am giving this place a 4 star as a whole. The shellac I got with Sita deserves a full 5 star but the pedicure experience brings the whole rating down. Still, my overall experience was a 4 and I will be back to Essential Beauty Bar for sure.
First of all, the staff are super polite. This is not one of those "feel bad" salons that you go to and end up being treated badly not knowing why everyone is so rude and mad. The staff here is patient and polite and you can tell that they like their job.
The space is very small but they use it efficiently. They do not have massage chairs, you sit on a long elevated bench/sofa and they have sinks at the base of that. If you're looking to get a massage at the same time as your pedi, this is not the place to go.
That being said, there is a short foot massage that comes with the pedi for free. They use green salt which feels good on the skin and massage you up until the mid-calf area.
The sinks were super small, my fiancé had to put his feet in there at an angle to make sure they were fully submerged in water. He requested extra scrubbing at certain spots of his feet and the lady did it with no problem.
They asked me to move to the chairs to do my shellac, but my fiance had to do his manicure as he was sitting on the pedi bench. He had to twist his body the whole time to make sure the lady could see all his nails and work on them. Not a very pleasant experience for him.
Now for the shellac, Sita did mine and she did an amazing job! I first asked her to do sparkle at the tips but she told me with the type of sparkle i chose it makes it very difficult to do just the tips, so I decided to do all. It looks amazing! She made the coats very thin which I liked, and was taking her time applying the nail polish and cleaning everything. She did an amazing job. I personally do not like to talk that much as they work on my nails. She was not talking too much, focusing on her work and getting the job done perfectly. She was extremely friendly too and wrapped my feet in saran wrap after the pedicure and helped me put my shoes on.
When I go back again, I will just go for Shellac, and I will just book it with Sita. I am very happy with the results!!!
P.s. they stamp cards for you, with 10 stamps you get free service (not sure if it was shellac or a whole package though).
