This is where I got my first ever pedicure, approx. 4 years ago. I still remember that day because I went with a family friend and her three kids. (Kids should not be taken to a nail salon. Ever.)
Anywho, originally she was just gonna get a full acrylic set and I was there to supervise the kids. She ended up talking me into getting a pedi. I was pleased with how it turned out, but it was my first one, so I didn't really know what to expect.
Since then, I've gone here every time I get a pedi or a full set of acrylics. They have had a different movie playing every time which is nice, but it is true that they loop the same movie continuously. I've only seen them change a movie after it was over in one visit, and I'm pretty sure it was because one of the workers was sick of the same thing looping.
Their pedicures are awesome, but they do up-charge for everything. Callus remover? $5. Flower? $5. Sugar-scrub? $5. And if you want any other design (not a flower variation) good luck. There was one occasion that a younger girl came in with her mom and wanted a popular design at the time on her big toe and the girl doing her feet didn't understand her at all - I actually had to stop my mani and draw it out for the girl, as her nails where still wet from her mani. As a plus, they are pretty generous on their massage time.
Conversations lack here, so if you are one who enjoys some good gossip when you get your nails done, you won't be pleased. The only one who really converses as he works is their main acrylic guy. His work is awesome, but he often takes phone calls on his cell phone while he works and is always in and out.
Color selection is abundant, but the polish is never updated/cycled out. They have the same jars of polish they had 4 years ago when I first started coming here.
As a huge plus, they do not send away customers close to closing time. There was one occasion (close to prom-season I think) that I didn't leave the shop until an hour after business hours and they still had two other girls in there getting full sets and pedis.
If you've caught on, their work does take a while. There has not been one time that I haven't seen the movie they play the full way through at least a full two times. They usually have just two people there, and about 9/10, one person has to stop working to call-in another employee because they have people waiting.
Simplified version:
:( Out-dated polish.
:( Time consuming.
:( Up-charge for everything.
:) New movies playing.
:) Awesome nails each time.
