rev:text	Before choosing a place to get a long overdue pedicure I read all the Yelp! reviews for the salons in my area. I finally narrowed my choice down to Bella Grande Nails & Spa based on the 1) the ratings 2) the number of reviews 3) atmosphere 4) the price. There was one comment that cropped up in several reviews that made me hesitant. It was regarding the treatment of the employees by the owner/manager. Before becoming happily self-employed I worked for a nightmarish boss who made my work difficult. Rude managers are unpleasant for me to be around due to a sense of post-traumatic stress and a tendency to want to tell them off - especially if I don't have a problem with what their hard working and capable employee is doing for me. Nonetheless I decided to give the place a try as it fit my budget. Even though walk-ins are welcome I called ahead to make sure I wouldn't be waiting too long. I was told to come right down which I did. I will say that the man answering the phone was very curt and made me wonder if he was the ill reputed boss or if he was just busy with another customer. Before I even entered the salon I was greeted by a nice young man who was taking a break on the bench out front. He politely stood and opened the door for me. Once inside I was greeted by the manager who had a blonde woman immediately take me back to the pedicure thrones. She hung up my purse, gave me the controller for the massage chair, and made sure the water temperature was the comfortable before excusing herself. I took that opportunity to really soak in the details of my surroundings. The place was full of customers but didn't feel crowded or noisy. In reviews I had read the description of the place made me hopeful that I would feel pampered in a hygienic fashion in beautiful surroundings. Being diabetic the last thing I need is a pedicure with a cheese grater full of bacteria that leads to gangrene. I was relieved to see that not only was the place attractively furnished but it was also very clean. I liked the privacy curtain, the glass foot bowls, and the music; however I'm going to have a rematch with that massage chair. It was probably user-error based on my previous technical-uninclined experiences but I could not get that massage chair to cooperate. I couldn't get the intensity to adjust to a comfortable level. I'm well-endowed and was embarrassed to have my ample bosom bouncing like Jell-O. When the program cycled to the lower back a pounding in the seat nearly booted me out of it. I felt spanked like a naughty child. The massage was not at all relaxing so I decided to turn it off. The chair is the only reason why I will not rate this visit a 5 star experience. The young man who greeted me earlier reappeared and introduced himself as George. He got me a cup of ice water with fruit in it and a few magazines. Then he brought out the pedicure tools all wrapped and sealed like surgical instruments - I'd say that was a good sign that they had been cleaned properly. George did a great job. He was friendly and dexterous. The hot stone and calve massage at the end was a nice touch. Because he did such a nice job on my feet I decided to splurge on a manicure too. All my nails (toes and fingers) looked great. The polish was applied neatly. It's now been six days and I don't have any chips or flaking. A mani-pedi for just $35.00! As mentioned in other reviews please come prepared to tip your technician in cash as you can't add it to your debit or credit card charge. I will definitely go back as I have a score to settle with that chair.
