| - The pedicures my bestie and I just got here today were most definitely a treat! That's exactly why we wanted to try this spot too. To be able to sit for an entire hour to have someone soak my feet, file them (with some fantastic callous remover), massage house-made lotion slowly into my legs and feet...was phenomenal to say the least! It wasn't wam-bam-thank-you-ma'am style at all. The lounge style is very posh and relaxing. I was afraid the couches you sit on would hurt my back after awhile, but I was quite comfortable the entire time.
We are used to mostly going to the $15 pedicure spots down the street because its simple and cheap. But that's the problem...the actual pedicure is cheap as can be. They get you in that chair and kick you out as fast as they can.
I had found Pedicure Lounge next door to my favorite Cajun restaurant one day and then looked it up on Yelp to find pretty great ratings. It's by appointment only and they book up weeks in advance because of their regulars. They say walk-ins are available if possible...but it is highly unlikely, unless you can come in during the week in the mornings before people are off work.
Our appointments were at 9am, when they first opened. When we first came in, the two ladies who had opened the place didn't greet us and let us know they would be with us shortly...so we were slightly put off (hence the 4-stars). But waiting in the really nice cushy lounge chairs and looking through their high-end colors kept us busy. We were the only two there the entire time, which was actually quite the treat since we are used to the "super crowded with no AC cheap spots". By the time we did sit down and get started we were very happy with both of our techs.
They had everything laid out complete with two large steins of real beer for our feet to soak in, lots of towels, house-made products, like their soap and scrub, and sterile items (including some interesting looking unknown feet pads). This is one of their specialties and while strange, it was fantastic on our feet in addition to their house-made apple soak they poured in. With the beer, this turned it into a very lovely smelling treat for our feet (our techs said it was to mimic Redd's Apple Ale). Mmmmmmmm. I was just about to take a picture of all the things laid out when my tech reached over and poured my beer out into the foot sink. Dang it!
I loved that they did one foot at a time instead of whipping my feet out back and forth and yanking on me. The unknown foot pads were actually for the callouses. They left these on for quite a long time and then used very gentle foot files. We were sadly amazed at how easily they were able to file our feet without using harsh looking files (that we are used to).
The foot and leg massages were absolutely amazeballs because they took their time, used perfect pressure, and really really focused on our feet too. The amount of time and care they took with putting our polish on in two very thick and full coats along with the perfect amount of top coat was quite nice.
We loved the place and want to come back for sure. It will be interesting to see how long the polish lasts in comparison to our cheapy places. I can't wait to come back. During the weekdays, you can call a few days ahead of time to make an appointment. FYI: If you are a first time customer, you have to put a $30 deposit down in case you don't show up for the appointment. They apply it towards your service.
The service is fantastic and I felt like they really want to give that nice experience. Other than the initial no greeting or acknowledging us when we were there waiting...I am totally happy with Pedicure Lounge! It sounds like no one set up their stations for them the day before, so they had to try to get it all ready while we were waiting, which is understandable...just with they would keep in mind they could tell us that and we wouldn't have a problem waiting.
I'll be back in a few weeks or so Pedicure Lounge! Thank you for the relaxing experience!
