| - I came once in a group of 3 and had a great experience. One person I came with also had a positive experience, the other, negative. Very negative. She requested the cheese grater not be used on her feet. First off, I haven't been to a nail salon that uses a cheese grater on feet. My mind was beyond blown. The woman looked at her sideways and said "Yes, you get this." and continued. The guy I had was awesome during this visit. I had a great foot massage and my nails looked bomb. Totally worth the $25 for the basic pedi. My unimpressed friend, got no massage and a lot of stinkeye stares for adamantly requesting the woman stop with the cheese grater.
My second trip there, I made my sister come because I told her how awesome my first experience was. I lucked out, got the same young dude. My sister got the same woman that my pedi-angry friend had. Oh lawdz. The woman kept telling my sister "You no get basic, you get ..." and pointed to the most expensive. I was laughing because it wasn't me being put on the awkward spot. My sister kept saying, "no, I still want basic..." and this went on for about 5 - 7 minutes. My sister has a couple scars on her shins and the woman kept poking them with her nails and asking "how you get? this hurt?" and it was a ridiculous scene. Then she told my sister she needed her eyebrows waxed. Then laughed when my sister rejected and told her "Yes, you need eyebrows done." OH NO SHE DIDN'T!!!! Clearly, my sister and I had been communicating back and forth with a series of dramatic facial expressions and this was just it. It was like a bad joke how terrible this woman was. During the pedi session, the two were being unprofessional by speaking in their native language and looking up and laughing. Seriously? This is exactly why my sister didn't want to come! Dang you, Magic Nails! I tried to convert someone into a fan! Now not only is she even MORE against nail salons like this, I will not be returning. Clearly it wasn't an off day for her as she was the exact same with a friend. No longer do I come to Magic Nails, I'm sticking to professional settings or my own badass nail polishing skills.
