| - Yesterday, my friend and I tried Nail Country for the first time. Overall, it was a good experience. The salon seemed clean and we left with pretty toes.
We both got the $40 Happy Feet pedicure. This is the best pedicure they offer. This included a basic pedicure plus a cooling masque, sugar scrub, hot towels, hot stone massage, callus removal and parrifin wax. We also got the Rockstar gel polish, which looked great.
The lady that did my nails shaped them perfectly and lined up the polish like a professional. She was also very friendly. The lady that did my friends nails did an all around awesome job. She had no complaints whatsoever.
All of my services were wonderful, and relaxing expect my callus removal. She only used the buffer on each foot for maybe 10 seconds, and today, I can tell that my feet are still rough around my heels and the side of my big toes. This was the first downfall.
While my cuticles were being trimmed, she cut my big toe pretty bad. To stop it from bleeding, she dropped blue liquid on it, and then put super glue on top of that. So today, one day after my pedicure, there is a weird blue color running down the crevice between my toenail and skin, and super glue everywhere. This was the second bad experience.
The third downfall was regarding my Rockstar polish. If you are familiar with Rockstar, you know that there is a regular polish base coat and then the thick glitter top coat. Normally when I get Rockstar polish, they are glittery to no end! When she was doing the thick glitter top coat, she was being a little stingy with it. She should have applied a lot more glitter than she did, considering that is what I am paying so much extra for.
The fourth bad experience was when we were going to pay. Each of our pedicures cost $60. This is partially our fault, I suppose, as we did not ask how much extra the Rockstar polish cost. The most I have ever paid extra for Rockstar is $10. Apparently here, they charge $20, on top of the $40 pedicure. Neither one of us were expecting to pay $60 for a pedicure.
Like I said, overall our experience at Nail Country was pretty good, expect my four complaints. Because of these downfalls, I doubt I will be going back.
