While there were about three customers being tended to when I arrived, business had slowed down quite a bit that there was only one woman waiting for her nails to dry by the time my nail artist finished with my pedicure and massage and started on the manicure aspect. I thought that $28 for a mani/pedi was a great find (we normally make the haul to Ahwatukee for these services for $36), but I had to wonder if the foot spa had been cleaned before I stepped into it (I was hesitant to feel the walls of the spa with my feet, but did it anyway.... not too grimy, that's good). I also noticed that the work stations needed paint jobs (better yet, just replace with new tables and new foot spas!) I found it a little disconcerting that Hanha (pronounced hen-eh) had to stop working on me at least twice so that she could tend the register. There were other nail artists around.
My manicure isn't top-notch (she missed quite a few spots), and the salon needs a better-moisturizing lotion, bec. my heels and fingers looked dry, but I've needed to have the service done for over two months now, and for $28 I really can't complain too much. If I didn't need to be somewhere soon after, I would've asked her to go over a few spots, and I'm sure she'd have obliged.
I was going to say that I'd be willing to go back again and give K Desert another try, but thinking it over, I don't think I'd want my legs stewing in those black-veined white-walled foot spas anytime soon!
