I've given this place the good old college try. It's just so awkward - I can't deal with it. My first visit, the guy doing my gel manicure would not look me in the eyes or talk to me. I'd try to look at him and he'd just turn his head. When he wanted me to take my hand out of the UV light thing, he'd just tap on the top of it. I tried to talk to him. I tried to smile. He was having none of it.
I told my friend who recommended this place and she agreed the gel manicure guys were creepy with her, too (apparently they are two - they look similar and they do the exact same thing). She recommended I just go for a pedicure. I tried two pedicures here and the ladies were fine, but they pretty much talk to each other the whole time. I felt like I was one of many in a manufacturing line of pedicures. And when they did the calf massage, holy crap, totally painful because my legs were straight and muscles flexed. Both times. I tried to explain this to them, but they didn't get it. And they wouldn't let me adjust my legs so finally I just had to pull away and ask them to stop.
The pedicures were fine and lasted a reasonably long time. And, yes, the place was sanitary. But I can't deal with the weirdness.
