| - This "spa" is extremely hard to find. It seems like a rented space across from some apartment complexes. When I entered their premises, I noticed that it was very dark and there was no reception table, but a lady sitting on a sofa with her reservation book. Before even saying hi, they asked me for my voucher (which I bought in a deal site for a manicure and pedicure) so I gave it to them right away though I found it rather rude.
My esthetician was a Nepalese woman who was very nice and considerate. She showed me to yet another dark room and sat me down for my pedicure first. She asked me to pick my color and I noticed that they have a very limited selection. The only brand they have was Maybelline, there was no OPI or China Glaze... Usually what I'm used to seeing at nail places. I asked if I can do a French manicure and was informed that there is an extra $10 charge. I thought that was a pretty high rate since high end yorkville spas only charge $5. They didn't have any pink/peach top coat for the French, and only used a transparent coating.. unbelievable, considering that I paid $10 extra.
Near the end of my treatment, the lady (owner) on the sofa started watching some Chinese show on her IPAD with the volume turned up to the max, while slurping on instant noodles. Does she not realize I am right there?! She even reminded me to tip.. which I thought was extremely rude, and ushered me out the door before my nails dried because she said she wanted to go home and close up the store.
To say the least, I would not recommend this place, you can better spend your money elsewhere.
