| - What a pleasant experience!
I called Friday to make a Sunday 930a appt. I think I might have spoken to Elaine on Friday...not sure. But, whoever it was, they were very cordial and polite and seemed nice.
I arrived this morning about 10 minutes early. I was greeted, asked if I wanted coffee, and treated very very well. They have a rustic/modern theme going on, which I thought was nice. I also liked the set up of the nail and pedicure stations. The polishes could stand to be arranged a little more nicely, but it looks like they might be expanding, so perhaps that's why they have 3 different places for all the polishes. It also looked like they might only use OPI and another brand (not Essie), though I didnt look through all the colors/brands. It also looked like they had every gel polish color you could possibly think of!
My mani/pedi went well. They were a bit under staffed due to a staff member being ill and they got busy quickly as I was being worked on. So, instead of having a mani/pedi at the same time, I got my pedicure first and then got moved to a manicure station for my mani after. My only complaint about the mani/pedi was that the massage kinda sucked. It felt rushed and wasn't enjoyable at all. I think my 3 year old gives comparable massages. However, the polish job and everything else included was done very well.
I took off a star because I was watching how they clean the basins. They cleaned the basin with what looked like dish soap in one of those soap dispensing brushes. She took off the thing inside the basin to clean it, which was good, but she also cleaned the pumice stone and callus remover tool with the same brush (that deserves an "ew." That callus remover tool should have been sanitized!). I'd like to see some bleach poured over all those things!! So, they could stand to be a little more sanitary.
They got extremely busy. It seemed like a new customer walked in every 10-15 minutes or so. So, save yourself time and make an appointment, preferably the first of the day!
I will be back....maybe not for a pedi, but definitely for a mani. And, I know you're wondering....it was $35 for my regular mani/pedi not including tip. Nice!
