I walked in here after lunch this weekend to get a pedicure because my 2 usual nail salons were booked solid. It was last minute on my part but now that it's flip flop season I needed to get my talons under control & beautified.
I was surprised to see the prices - only $20 bucks for a pedi - it made me happy and a little leery at the same time. Because I was in a crunch I decided to give it a go. I was a little disappointed in their color selection. They didn't have much OPI and I always choose that for my toes because it lasts the longest. They had the bottles spread out, somewhat color coated, on glass shelving (my inner Mother squirms because it would only take one misbehaved munchkin to swipe those off and break 'em all!). I decided on hot pink and they prepared my pedicure bowl.
The salon was a little disheveled and dirty. I never felt fully comfortable or relaxed during my time here....especially with the infomercial from VegasTV blaring in the background about some Virgin Diet. The equipment was old and the bespeckled lady I got was older and spoke NO English. I thought it was extremely rude as she had a Bluetooth on her ear and was on the telephone the entire time I was getting my pedi, jibber-jabbing in a foreign language. Whenever I wanted to tell her something like "I want glitter on top of the hot pink", she'd look at the other tech and he'd have to explain to her what I was saying. She gave me no foot or leg massage at all (now I know why they only charge $20) so that was disappointing. But even with all that criticism, she actually did a heck of a job painting my toes and getting my callouses in check. Normally the edges & tips of my nails don't get painted and she made sure to cover every inch. Plus she did spend some extra time on the bottom of my feet.
I will not be a regular at this nail salon, however if I were in a pinch and needed somewhere quick and cheap to go, I'd hit this place up again.
