It's unfortunate that there isn't a better nail salon so close to my home and work. I went in last week for a basic pedicure for $28.00.
Usually I expect the basics: a warm/hot foot bath, feet soaked sufficiently so my heels can be scrapped and my cuticles/side of nails 'groomed' (the usual).
The water bath was very lukewarm, I didn't have time to soak my feet enough so they could be properly scrapped (it's summer!) and my nails weren't properly done. Never at a salon of this kind have I not had these basic things done! I'm not a complainer either.
I asked politely if she could do my heels better but it was still not sufficient. I was thinking, well what other options do I have to fix some callused heels!? I'm at a salon to get a pedicure because my heels need to be done!
Was I just paying $28 for a foot massage and a paint job?
After drying my toes under the dryer for 10 mins., the lady wrapped them in saran wrap (I wore shoes - bad move on my part) but the paint was still tacky apparently and all of my toes smudged. I had to return an hour later to get them re-painted - what a drag!
Upon returning, I asked if they could do a better job on my feet on top of reapplying polish and the manager said that it would be an extra $5.00...so I paid it (frustrated and helpless) and they improved the heel job and repainted them.
What a bad experience for such a basic and common procedure!
