11:00am
I went to Cafe Paris Salon in the same shopping center and they were WAY too booked to have me. They said I would have to come in at two separate times (an hour wait in between) for a mani and pedi. So I bounced.
I guess I should have expected that on a Friday afternoon..
11:15am
Stepped into Vien and was greeted right away. They were really friendly girls work here, we chatted as they gave me a french mani and pedi. Their massage chairs with hot water, hot stones, hot towel treatment was a great way to pamper myself...a lot of people started coming in at around noon and that's when they got really busy.
There were 4 people working, but 6 customers, so there was usually 2 people just sitting around wondering what they should be doing next. I wish they had a person designated for a receptionist, but atleast my nails came out pretty impressive and I was really relaxed. They don't rape your ear to talk like many other places, I'm glad they could pick up when I wanted to talk, and when I just wanted to stay quiet.
My pampered afternoon cost $40 plus tip. I'm amazed why there was days that were booked all the way through the week over at Cafe Paris, yet Vien barely had anyone in here, yet their service was GREAT. Looks like I found a treasure in this shopping spot.
