I didn't have a particularly good experience here. The staff is friendly enough but I really question the cleanliness of this place.
I arrived a little early for my pedicure but was taken right away. The nail polish colour selection is mediocre at best but I found something I liked and was led to my chair. The tub was already filled with water but since I was the only person having a pedicure, I was able to see the condition of the other tubs. They all looked like they could use a good scrubbing! Needless to say, I was not impressed.
My technician, although really nice, was more interested in watching the television than working on my feet and would frequently pause during filing and massaging to watch it and talk with the other employees. I had to repeatedly ask her to trim my nails shorter because she wasn't paying attention to what she was doing.
As she applied various lotions and potions to my toes, feet and legs, the excess was left to drip all over the floor as she placed the squeeze bottles back in her trolley. I just found the lack of care and cleanliness incredible. I was definitely NOT impressed when I was asked to put my bare feet directly on the foot rest of the pedicure chair without a towel underneath them!
This salon is nothing like the newer 'high-tech' ones with their fancy UV drying systems... they had me sit back at the front of the store with a little fan pointed at my toes... sure it does the job but it lacks that 'je ne sais quoi', if you know what I mean.
When my toes were dry, they removed the little salon slippers and put them in a basket with a stack of others... please tell me they are thrown out and NOT recycled!!!!
Once I got home and was able to look more closely at the pedicure itself, I wasn't pleased. There are areas where you can see the brush strokes and where she missed doing a second coat.
In my opinion, this salon is rundown and could do with a good cleaning and perhaps a fresh set of towels. I'm giving them 2-stars only because the staff was really friendly but I know I won't be back. read more
