| - Best friend called me today asking if I'd like to go get a pedi with her. I was in desparate need, but I usually do my nails myself, so the first thing I did was scope out Yelp for a spot near my house. This place had great reviews and was less than a mile away from where I live. I called them first to see if they did Gel pedicures and to ask about pricing. They do, and the woman I spoke with on the phone told me a Gel pedicure would be $26. Score!
We arrived around 4pm on a Thursday and the place was empty - we were literally the only two people in the salon. This was really nice, because we didn't have to wait at all, and we received wonderful service. The man who did my pedicure was awesome. He was very attentive and spent a lot of time working on my cuticles (which were in baaaad shape) and even gave me a hot rock massage. My gels came out looking great, and I think they will last a long time. As other reviewers have mentioned, I did not feel rushed at all, and I felt like my tech was very meticulous about the details.
The lady who did my friend's toes noticed after they dried that she probably should have used another coat of polish because they looked a little light and thin (it was a deep red and should have been darker). She offered right away to do another coat, if we had time, even though other customers had walked into the salon and needed to be helped. We did have time, and so she added another coat of red gel and more of the clear gel on top of that. I was impressed that she offered to do this without even being asked especially with other customers waiting. I think that speaks a lot about their commitment to customer satisfaction and the overall quality you will get here. My friend hadn't even noticed they were too light until the lady mentioned it, but after the second coat they looked MUCH better.
The only thing that made this a less than stellar experience was checking out. At the register, the man told me it would be $35 - but the woman had told me a Gel Pedi is only $26 when I called. In hindsight, I probably should have said something. I just sucked it up and paid, partly because I feel kind of bad for the people who work at these places for having to touch people's nasty feet all day, and I like to support local business. Also, I was really happy with the quality and the service we received, which was worth a few extra bucks to me anyways. I think the hot rock massage may have been extra, but they never asked if we wanted the service or told us it was extra. My friend and I both thought it was rather expensive, since we were both expecting a $26 pedicure and with tip I ended up paying $45 since my guy did such nice work.
Bottom line - I would definitely go back, but make sure to verify pricing first!
