I am not the mani-pedi girl that I would love to be. I am envious of the girls in my BodyFlow class who have perfectly painted piggies every day. So...when I do finally have a REASON to get one, I want it to live up to it's reputation. The salon I go to does not do nails so they recommended Njoy Nails to me for when my girlfriend's from college were coming out for a long overdue visit. I stopped by a week in advance to see if they had availability for all three of us together on a Thursday. No problem!
Thursday comes and its the busiest I have ever seen the shop. I go to Basha's next door it seems every other day. We look around and there ARE three chairs available for pedicures but they are all spread out. Ohhh, they forgot that we wanted to be together. Luckily, there were some very nice women who changed their seats so that we could chit chat together. C'mon, it's been 5 years since we've seen each other! So, they sit us all down together and a tech comes over and starts to work on me. Great, but my girlfriends are just sitting there. No water, nothing. After a few minutes pass, I ask if they are going to get their own tech. We are told yes. About 10 minutes pass before my friend on the left gets a girl and 15 before my friend on the right gets help. This is ridiculous!
There are three levels of pedicures and we all choose the middle level which is supposed to have a longer massage and callous removal included. The massage was half hearted and not satisfying at all. I must admit that my feet were wonderfully soft and my polish is still in strong competition with the gym girl's after 3 weeks. Despite that, I don't know if I'll return. If I want to pay almost $40, I'll go to a salon instead of a nail place.
