I would have loved to give my former favorite place a 5 star rating, but after yesterday they are lucky they got a 2. I have been going to Polished for a long while now and have been very impressed with the quality of my pedicures. I started going before my son was born and have brought him with me the last 4 times. He is an infant and just quietly sits on my lap. I called and made my regular appointment for yesterday; drove all the way from North Las Vegas; when I arrived there was a sign stating to the effect "kids are not welcome...please find daycare before you arrive." I asked why they didn't say something when I made my appointment and I was met with complete disdain. I can understand that children can be noisy and run around...I get it, but an infant that barely says a peep? We have never had a problem. I used to hand out their cards to everyone and tell people how great they are....now I will not refer a single person there and will let all my coworkers and mothers I know not to patron their salon. It is too bad.
Now before someone jumps all over me for bringing my baby....I am a single mom who works 12 hour days during the week. I save up just to spend a little time on myself once every month or so. I am not about to dump my baby off at yet another daycare/babysitter just so I can spend an hour to get my toes done so I can actually feel like a human once in awhile.
Now I have to find somewhere else to go...not sure when I will have the time. I guess feeling pretty is reserved to those who are not single mothers or are willing to let their children not only spend the work week at day care, but also the weekends too in the eyes of Polished.
