There is a clear difference between customer service and being spoken to in a condescending or hostile manner.

Response to Paul(Business Owner): My concern was never that a tip was added. My concern was that when I asked about the difference between the quoted price and the final total, I was not provided with a clear breakdown of the charges. The explanation regarding credit card fees and other charges is being provided now in your response, not in a way that was clearly communicated during checkout. Had the charges been explained transparently at the time, there would have been no confusion. I also stand by my statement regarding the interaction. Asking a reasonable question about a bill should not result in a customer feeling dismissed or spoken down to. Regardless of our differing recollections of the conversation, that was my experience. I appreciate your response, but the tone of both the interaction and your reply only reinforces my original concern. Customers should be treated with professionalism and respect, even when they are simply seeking clarification about charges.

She just gave birth about a month ago and I wanted to surprise her with a little mani-pedi. As I arrived to the area, she let me know that a salon worker (unclear if owner) proceeded to tell her to move away from the entrance cause her baby was disruptive (baby was not crying) and she had clients and she didn't want her around. She was rude to them and threaten in calling the cops. She sat down on a chair to adjust her clothing and she came out and yelled at her saying it was "her furniture".

Even though I'd lived in the area for many years, I wasn't aware of such a nail spa right behind McDonald's on Los Gatos Blvd. I called ahead to make sure they're available before heading over. Good that I did. While I was there, they got a lot of phone calls, and they had to ask those customers to come in at a later time . There're only two ladies working there, and they said it's always a good idea to call as they couldn't predict how busy it would be. Decor and massage chairs were of older styles, but everything looked clean. Environment was relaxing and staff was nice. I had the $33 Classic Pedicure, which included a scrub, massage and hot stones. The technician did a pretty good job, and was very efficient. I was happy with the result. Would love the massage to be a little bit longer, but at this price point in Los Gatos, it was very fair and I had no complains. They took Zelle as well.

I assumed that was simply something I had to live with. Everything changed when I visited Victoria at 12 Nails Studio. From my very first appointment, she identified the root cause of the problem.

Victoria combines a professional, personalized approach with high-quality European techniques and products selected specifically for each client's condition. The difference was noticeable immediately. My feet have never felt healthier, looked better, or stayed smooth for so long after a treatment.

I have found that after you go for awhile (with all salons) they get "comfortable" with you staying as a customer. And then the quality of the work slowly goes downhill. I have had a bad cut one time during a pedicure and that worries me about infection... I don't feel that the level of sterilization is really up to snuff here, just what I have seen them do after a pedicure with the container... Because the gel is so damaging to your natural nails, I've decided to take a break and do them myself, and they look pretty good. I am a licensed aesthetician so I'm lucky I can shop at the beauty supply stores and get all the great polishes and products at a good discount.
