| - It's pretty cramped in here.
Though that's the least concern.
I got a pedicure, facial and massage as a gift from my husband.
The pedicure was ok. Only one color, no design-no dots, stripes or flowers could be given. They did not know how to do it. It was kind of strange for me since the design is the only reason I used to get my toe nails done. Otherwise, I can paint my nails one color well.
The facial was painful. I had one clogged pore and so much pressure was applied to that spot that it hurt and I screamed. I've never had a problem with acne in my life so I've never experienced that kind of treatment. I'm almost 50, and used to work out for three hours a day-still no acne.
I just moved to the area from a different state and found that all three owners quite racist.
When they asked me where I was from-and I said California, they said, no, no, no, where are yo really from? All separately.
I was born in a different country-came when I was 4 years old, I have no accent and have a master's degree. I have light olive skin, am respectful and petite.
They also were insistent to know what neighborhood I lived in here in Pittsburgh, and when they found out, they looked down and said oh.
To top it off, the owner didn't believe my husband had paid in advance and so had to get out her book from a few months prior to look me up. She thought I was lying. This took like 15 minutes. I found my name while looking at her book upside down.
This was my first visit to a spa here in Pittsburgh and it was expensive, racist and underwhelming. If you are white, live in Squirrel Hill, or Bakery Square, and want your money to encourage racism, then go.
If I could give a one star rating I would.
