| - I've just finished up at this place and I have to say that from all the places I've been to, so far this one is in the top 5.
I came as a walk in and they took me. I did a gel mani/pedi and while one guy was doing my toes another one was filing and removing my mani gels
During this process I can tell you that I did not like the chairs. One of my favorite things about getting a pedi, is a nice massage in the chair. This on was weak and slow and it just made me irritated a little. Good thing I took a half of Lortab for my shoulder and didn't care too much. When he was finished filing and wrapping my nails, he just Left all the debris from my nails ALL over the chair's wide arm rest. I sort of followed him with my eyes to see if he would come back and clean it up. Nope. Just left a pile of filed off gel over my chair........
A thirds person came, a woman, and began cleaning up my fingernails. I asked her to Not touch my length but just to literally shape them a touch from the sides. I repeated three times to not touch my length and of course, she filed them down... Ah. Listen to your customer!! Please!!
I had a light foot massage and the guy doing my feet was very precise with cleaning up and scrubbing. Good job. But, he applied my nail polish a bit sloppy. I am a real stickler about precision and I get so annoyed when I have to repeat myself and then they do the same sh over again. Ugh. So, my big toes are sloppy a little and I'll have to fix it myself. Take a look at the photo. A $50 pedicure should NEVER look like that.
During the mani I had to ask the lady to fix my cuticles once more because some were not trimmed well. She did it again and then said "Good?" I looked and.. Well not that good. Still some cuticle left. So, I said "Great!" and was secretly unhappy. So, that's another thing I have to fix.
I brought my own nail polish -- CND Shellac Power Polish in Cityscape. I think they all loved the color, since another tech came to see it and my manicurist showed it to another customer.
Another lad came to finish the top coats and give me a massage. It was nice.
I got a $5 discount, probably because I brought my own stuff.
When I got to my car, I sat there for like 10 min cleaning up the corners. This is what I HATE. I just spent $85 on nails that I have to FIX. And they were all so slow and took their time. If you're going to take your time then do a CLEAN job. Why is it so hard for nail techs to get that? Why?? If I were one, I would never let anyone leave with gunk around the nails and uneven coating, etc. That's a reflection of YOU, as a professional.
And, these annoyances are small to some... But to me they are eye sores that I have to live with for two weeks and also have them as a reminder that I blew so much money on something I am not happy with. I should just accept the fact that my mani or pedi will never be 100% amazing and start doing them myself.
Other than the the lack of detail and not listening to me about my nail length, they were all nice and attentive and efficient.
