So I'm well aware what sanitation and good customer service means. If I tell them this it means they should \"step up their game to impress me\". Shallow sounding? Yes! However, that is how my industry works. I'm a firm believer that same 1st time treatment should also be how you continue to get treated. Yet that 1st impression is VERY important. Upon walking in I was greater with a smile. It is a Thursday morning about 9:30am (they open at 9) so I assume I got in right away due to this. The guy that did my pedicure was very friendly. He spoke to me using my name a few times. I enjoy that simple thing. I wasn't in the mood to talk because I'm so not a morning person & I chit chat constantly at my job. He respected that. He took about 25-30mins for a basic pedicure which is relatively reasonable since I didn't require anything fancy. While filing my toes I noticed he just did it straight across and didn't bother to see if filing under that area was needed. This is helpful for those that have toenails that start to bend into the skin. Mine slightly do! It's my fault I was distracted by a work email to catch it & say something. After all, I can fix the filing issue later with him since we just started. Before I knew it we were onto painting my toes. I chose a color that would probably require 3 layers vs the standard 2. I got just 2 though. The pic doesn't show it well enough but some places are thinner than others due to the lack of that extra layer needed. I also have very dry torn up skin on the top of some of my toes. I got lotion on so this tells me the critical work wasn't correctly done. I gave 3 stars only because they were nice, sanitary, & I got in right away. As far as the end result goes....I won't be returning because it wasn't a full circle of satisfaction for me. I could have done this at home with better results. Not that I expect amazing results for a basic pedicure. I do however expect the same if not better results than what I would've produced. I go to get pedicures because I want someone to care for me for a change not because I can't do it myself. That being said I should get a good result still!"^^ . . . "0"^^ . .
