More based on what I pay every time I set foot in the door, than anything else.\n\nTHE DETAILS:\n\nThe Pedicure. $50\nIt was efficient, but appeared rushed. \nThe foot/leg massage*. BOO. :(\n*there was none. \nThe girl who did my pedi didn't offer me magazines. So I just sat there. \nBig ol' fail in my books. \n\n \nManicure. \nI opted for the OPI shellac, Axxium Manicure. $50\nIt was done at at the bar near the freezing cold window, my back facing the window streaming with condensation and a freezing cold breeze. Oh, did i mention it was FREEZING??!\nThe little white stool I sat on made me feel like a huge assed giant, and honestly, my ass isn't that big. It was awkward, and very uncomfortable. \nI had to mentally stop reminding myself I way paying $50 for this service. \nI received zero follow up regarding care of my new shellac polish job. I expressed that this was my first time. (more on this ...) \n\nThe girl who did my nails was rather ... blah, and didn't seem eager nor excited I was her last appointment on a Friday night. \n\nAnd kept asking me the same questions, regarding the generic answer I had given her at he beginning of my pedicure. \"oh so you're going on vacation. Oh you're so lucky. Will you be drinking & partying?! Oh it's going to be so hot!\". \nI instantly felt old.\nReally old.\n\n\nNow, back to the care of my new shellac manicure.\nI was given ZERO care instructions. Nor how to remove said 'polish' ------- \nI was completely unaware that this polish 'grows out' like those old skool acrylic nails. I also didn't realize how thick it was going to be. While it kept my nails protected from breakage, the polish itself discolored (it was a natural light pink colour) into an unsightly yellow/beige shade after a week or so. \nOh, and to remove it, yeah, you have to go in to get it removed. I had no idea about this ... sigh/ \n\n\nIn a nutshell, I got what I asked for; a manicure and pedicure. \nBut the service was something to be desired."^^ . .
