| - It's my first time here and it's a different experience compare to other nail salons. I found them on Yelp and gave them a call around 7pm and wanted to make the appointment for the next day. I was lucky enough and they were able to get me in at 9:30 am next morning.
I arrived before they turned on the OPEN sign. When I got in, two men came out from the back of the salon and asked me what service would I like and asked me to pick the color from the back of the store. Don't really care for the setting because I had to walk all the way to the back of the salon to look for nail polish.
After I picked my color, another man set up the water for my pedicure. He started to cough next to me. I was hoping he was not the one who would do my pedicure. I didn't want to be sick. I sat down and the man asked me if I would like him to turn on the massage chair for me. Sure, why not! The thing was I was not allowed to touch the remote. He turned it on for me and walked away. I was a shorter woman and it just didn't fit right. It was a horrible massage chair experience.
After two minutes, a lady came to do my pedicure! Phew!! She is very nice and not talkative. It's perfect for me because I needed some quiet time. I thought I would have my quiet time since I was the only customer there at that time. After 15 minutes, another customer showed up for her appointment and that was it, just the two of us (customers)! Those men were starting to talk and talk and talk, louder and louder and they all COUGH together!!! OMG!! They didn't cover and just cough right next to the nail polish and sink area. I thought to myself, I was glad that I didn't need to go over there again to pick the nail polish. To avoid getting close to those coughing men, I chose not to have my manicure done because I didn't want to get to the sink area.
I forgot the name of the lady who did my pedicure but she's good! Very detail and nice massage. She asked me what kind of pedicure would I like and gave me the menu. I picked the regular manicure & Spa pedicure for $32. I know, I added the manicure!!! It's because she's so good!! I put my health in danger and was hoping it's all worth it. Then, she cut my finger!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I was bleeding!! She recused my finger like a Pro! Finally I stopped bleeding! Thanks to God! And those men were still chatting, laughing and coughing!!
After an hour, I was the only customer there. When I was ready to pay, she told me $34. Wait, I thought the menu said $32 for both services. At this point, I just wanted to leave, whatever! OH, maybe getting my finger cut cost me another $2. Anyway, I had never been to a nail salon this empty. She also told me they were usually busy after 4pm and weekend. Nice! So I bet those men would have lots of fun before 4pm.
I've been to other nail salons and they are always busy even during the day time. Lesson to myself, never try something new unless I have done some research.
Cough....Cough....Cough.....
