| - I'm with Ashley A. on this one. First time to this salon but I won't be back.
Went to have my legs waxed. Was actually able to secure a next-day appointment which was awesome. But the interaction with Marianne was odd, uncomfortable, and at times, scary.
When I walked in, she poked her head out and said her wax was still warming up and it would be a few minutes. That happened several times. I had to wait nearly 40 minutes. When she finally came out to get me, she explained it was new wax, she'd been having problems with the machine, and there was a power outage earlier. She spoke so fast that I can't remember what else she said. Wish she'd called me ahead of my scheduled time to tell me about the delay so I could have done something productive with those 40 minutes.
When she finally escorted me into the salon room, she started rambling about a homeless guy who'd stolen her business computer so she had to get a new one. Then said he was out to get her. It was seriously weird. Especially weird she'd be telling a new customer all these things.
When she finished the waxing (and her odd stories), I pointed out several areas where I could see hair. She went over those again but said sometimes the wax pulls out only half the hair so you're basically left with stubble. I don't know if that's true or not but I was okay with just getting out of there. Fast.
When I went to pay, just like she did with Ashley A., she said she couldn't accept a credit card because her computer was new. She suggested I sign up for some service (kind of like paypal) and submit payment that way. When I inquired about the service, she said she wasn't able to pull it up on her computer. So she told me there was an ATM nearby and I could go there. At this point, I was convinced wherever this ATM was, so would there be someone waiting for me. Yes, the paranoia had completely set in.
Ultimately, I went to a bank nearby, pulled out cash, drove back over to Naked, handed her money and high-tailed it out of there.
I don't know what is going on with this woman but things just didn't feel right. Beware.
