3rd time is NOT a charm!
1st visit to Dojo Nails in 2013 was OK in terms of wait time, staff friendliness and quality of the service.
2nd visit in 2013 I waited 1 hour before I was even worked on for a pedicure. I think I sat with my feet in the water without jets for about 30 minutes before the pedicure started and the quality was OK, but not close to the best I've had.
3rd time for my mani/pedi was so SUBPAR! I sat with my feet in the water for about 45 minutes before the pedicure. I'm so happy I had an interesting magazine! While the nail tech worked on my feet she was chatting with and looking at nail photos on another customer's phone and didn't say much at all to me. I'm not much for excessive chattiness, but I felt ignored. After my pedi, I then waited 15 minutes before my mani started while the tech went to another customer. After she did my pre-color work she went and worked on yet another customer for 10 more minutes. There was nothing that had to "set" with my mani to explain the waiting. The final work looks like something I haven't seen before. The section of the polish close to the end of the nails seems to be lifting and buckling. I'll post photos soon.
There was not much exfoliation or moisturizing involved in either the mani/pedi, which I've enjoyed at the other nail salons. The price is ok, not cheap and not expensive. Each of the 2 people working seemed to be juggling 3 customers at a time. I was not the only person annoyed by the wait.
