Positives: the people there (including the other patrons) are very friendly and make you feel at home. And it's one of the cheaper pedicures in the area.
Negatives: It was a mediocre pedicure. The tech seemed afraid to touch me, resulting in a poor nail job and even limper massage. No buffing or scrubbing off dead skin, which is my main reason for the pedicure in the first place. I can certainly paint my nails at home. And why is it so many techs assault the shin bone during the massage, barely touching the very juicy and deserving muscles just lateral to it?
The water was cold, and though I kept requesting warmer water, the tech didn't ask me how hot I wanted it, but just turned the hot water on and then off several times. It never made it past tepid. And, the polish didn't even cover the whole toe. Is that the new style? Ick.
Very disappointing, in sum. I want a firmer hand, with a modicum of lower leg and foot massage training. Which reminds me - he never even massaged my feet!
