| - My boyfriend took me to Cute Nail for a mani/pedi as a nice surprise. We'd seen it many times on our ventures to New Zealand next door, YUM, and he remembered it so he could take me there later.
Well, it's a nice place inside, but I think I'm just spoiled from my past location in Ohio. I walked in and we were immediately greeted. They walked me right back to a pedi station and sat me down at one of their chairs.
First, the water was scorching hot as I stuck my piggies in and, I love hot water... but this was even too hot for me. Crazy! So he turned it down and I restuck my tender tootsies into this newly cooled water. Ahhh perfect. I leaned back in my chair for my massage, but the chair just didn't seem to be hitting my sore muscles, and the rollers were pretty sharp as they butted out of the back of the chair and down my spine. OUCH.
Well, a guy started my toes and he left for his break, and a girl took over and finished the work. She did a great job, but most places I go to actually massage your feet a little bit and your legs, and they didn't do that here. It was basically bare bones, sit down and... you're done.
Next I walked over to the mani station and she squared off my finger nails like a pro. They looked great and the color was vibrant and summery. (Gotta get that in before the fall.) While I was sitting there getting my nails done, her phone rang and she answered it. So, she's doing my nails, talking on the phone laughing away, and I'm just sitting there watching tv as she filed away. No biggie, just thought it was a bit awkward and weird.
Well I got my nails done on Saturday, and it's now Tuesday. They look like crap already. The paint has chipped off on my fingers and they actually started chipping off that night. Bummer. It was only $30 for a mani/pedi combo, but now I can understand why. I don't know if it's the paint I chose, or that they didn't do a top coat, but whatever it is I'm pretty bummed about it.
Basically, if you need a quick job for an event, then this is your place. If you're hoping for lasting results and to be pampered... it's not..
