    Ohhhh, this is *perfect* material for the kind of review you described yesterday: honest, quirky, a…read morelittle funny, but not "I DEMAND TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER." The strongest part of your story is the escalating absurdity: **V-shaped toenails Dremel aggressive cuticle attack you simply evacuating the premises.** I'd lean into that. **Title: Nail Salon Review** I hadn't been to this salon in over a year after a pretty poor mani/pedi experience, but yesterday convenience got the better of me. Spoiler alert: I should have trusted my original instincts. I was greeted quickly, picked out my polish, sat down, and the tech immediately started clipping my toenails. And when I say clipping, I mean she proceeded to carve every single toenail into a sharp little inverted V. Each time she made another slash, she'd ask, "Does that hurt?" Yes. But apparently I was committed to the experience, so I kept telling myself, *I can do this.* Then came the Dremel. Now, I am a **regular polish girl**. There was absolutely no reason for power tools to enter this situation, so I politely asked her not to use it on my feet. A few minutes later, she moved on to my cuticles and started attacking them with an enthusiasm that felt wildly disproportionate to the task at hand. And that's when I decided: *You know what? I actually don't have to do this.* So I got up, pulled my feet out of the water, put my sandals back on, and walked right out. I have never actually abandoned a pedicure before, but there's a first time for everything. Needless to say, I will not be returning. Sometimes convenience is just not worth it--and apparently neither are toenails shaped like tiny Doritos.

    I am so disappointed with my experience here today. I came for a manicure + pedicure…read more I was greeted with a warm bottled water. I started to be concerned when I saw that they were preparing for my manicure and pedicure before my massage as I was worried that if I get my nails done before the massage, they would be ruined. I called the front of house over to voice my concern and he assured me that they would do my manicure + pedicure first, then massage, then OPI polish at the end. During the pedicure, she cut the cuticles too short and it was quite painful. I saw that she started to apply the polish as well! I didn't bother to stop her as I had already voiced my concern. After finishing the manicure and pedicure completely, she went to massage my hand and fingers and ruined my manicure... She apologized and fixed the manicure after the massage was finished. At the end, I am very disappointed with the manicure. The whole experience took 3 hours when it should have been 2. The polish was applied too thick, bubbled, didn't dry properly and is already ruined (not even 2 hours later.) The pedicure also did not include proper callus scraping.

    I cannot emphasize how blessed a family is because of Dani. I contacted Dani through a church…read moremember. I needed a manicurist to go to a students house who is terminally Ill.

The store itself is pretty small though, with two pedi stations and three nail desks. Expect a wait, which I don't mind because the end product always looks amazing.

It's small, as Anouska B. mentioned there are two pedicure chairs and four nail stations. I havn't had my nails done, but I have had two pedicures and I was pretty satisfied each time. I'm always extremely grateful to anyone who has to put up with my polish-chipped hooves, and the ladies here have always been friendly and never seem off-put by having to spend a little extra time smoothing down the rough spots. During the pedi I got yesterday at one point the lady held up my foot and gleeful declared "no callouses!!" giving me reason to clap my hands and squeal with delight (after a long winter of boot-wearing I was SHOCKED to receive this news.) Is this salon going to blow you away with cutting edge equipment and stunning decor? No. Are they going to give you a pretty and decently priced pedicure? Yes.
