| - Took my wife here to get her nails done and while we were at it I decided to try the "mans mani-pedi". The welcoming was alright and the receptionist was not really informative of the services they had to offer. Although, we did search a Groupon deal which they awarded in person without having to purchase it on the app.
The place was very glamorous and has a shabby chic feel to it. The high back chairs and molding definitely makes you feel like royalty. It was spacious and they had a lot of techs, so the wait time was not long at all. They even offer a faster service by using two techs per person. One works with the feet while the other works on the hands. The techs that worked on us were good especially Nina (she worked on my wife and knew what she was doing). I don't know the name of my tech because she wasn't wearing a badge and didn't really create conversation or let alone introduced herself. It was a quiet service, but we Enjoyed the extra massage on the hands and feet.
I also like the extra accommodations they provide, like the refreshments (coffee, tea or water) your pick. They bring it right to you as you're getting work done.
The place is big and full of products and amenities. A lot of salon chairs and nail bar tables including other special treatment rooms such as facials, vascular circulation therapies, cosmetic tattoos, micro blading and eye lash extensions.
When I was awarded Groupon prices for my services, we were told that it would only be an extra $10 for upgrades on the type of nail gel my wife wanted. I stayed quiet about it because I was dumbfounded and questioned myself about it, but when I buy $32 x 2 persons worth of deals and upgrade with $10 for gels, I was charged $99 instead. The kicker was that I was told to use an ATM machine so that if I pay in cash, I wasn't going to pay taxes and did not get a receipt for it. Questionable, but I didn't say anything or speak up about it before I left. So I guess it's my mistake if there was a misunderstanding between it all.
I also wanted to mention we overheard several employees complaining about their salaries for the amount of work they do in front of us. It was pretty awkward.
But overall, we love the decor and just thought we give this place a chance.
