| - In town w/ my bf visiting his dad and I needed a mani and pedi. I really wanted to like this place given the number of reviews and it's score, but it was meh. I made my appt and when I walked in, yeah they were busy so they had me wait in the chair with my feet soaking for about half an hour. They got the only guy in there to work on my feet half an hour after my appt time. I guess it was a busy day because one lady came over to tell me he'd be with me in 5 minutes since he was hungry. My guess is he didn't have lunch. I told him it was fine, I mean I needed my stuff done. Anyway, back to when he started working on my feet. By this time, the water has gone cold and then I let him know what color and what I'd like done. I only wanted the classic mani and pedi. He handed me some other menu with a bunch of different types of pedicure and I politely declined. He puts the menu back and starts.
This isn't my first time getting a pedi. He cleaned my feet, did the callous remover with that metal grater thing which I had never done before and worried me, but whatever. So he tells me to feet back in the water, doesn't rinse my feet off like the lady had done to her client next to me, AND doesn't even fold the towel over or get a new one to put my "clean" feet on so he can put polish. He proceeded to put lotion on my legs and would pick off bits of my skin and the other stuff he cleaned off my feet which got on my leg since it got mixed in while he was doing the massage and failed to go to the clean side of the towel. Pretty gross. Never in all my time I've gotten pedis has that ever happened. He didn't put alcohol on my "clean" feet either after working on it, which the lady next to me did to her client and which all the other pedi places I've been to done. Either he was lazy or didn't feel the need to do it right because I didn't upgrade my pedi maybe? Or maybe it's because I'm new and they've never seen me before. He went on to do another lady's hands (probably his appt) and had me sit with some other lady for my hands.
I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because the other ladies were nice enough including the one who did my hands - French tip gel mani. Total without tip cost me $60. According to their menu I was expecting about $48. So 1 star because the end result was decent, and the other star for the mani. If this review was for just the pedi it would be one star. They have their regular clients who seem to like them so I guess they're not all bad; but this is the second nail shop I've tried in this area. I guess I have to keep looking.
