2 /5 Diana: This review is for a recent gel pedicure I got. I did my own gel manicure and wanted toes to match. $45 gel pedicure + $10 callus removal.
I really wanted to support a local place next to home. However, this place is overpriced, unsanitary, and mediocre because they cut corners. Chairs are old and dirty and by no means are "lavish."
I got my pedicure done by Kevin. My old gel polish was removed using only e-file. He used a USED SANDING BAND to file down my nail!!! Disgusting! These bands are cheap to replace and cannot be disinfected.
He asked me if I wanted him to scrub my calluses without telling me it was an extra $10 charge. I shouldve asked, I know now (I rarely go to nail salons so my bad). However, he barely did anything other than apply some gel on my feet and let it sit for a few minutes. There was barely any callus scrubbing beyond a very brief pedicure scrub.
The paint job and cutical clean-up was subpar- look at my pictures. Unclean lines, polish touching skin, polish not covering all of nail bed, etc. He didnt spend time cleaning up his lines with a brush.
Finally, the salon markets a 10 min massage as part of the pedicure package. I got no more than 2 min total. My tech rushed the service and did extremely mediocre work.
Ive had much better service and pedicures at other salons for 2/3 the price. I could look past the lack of massage, but the paint job is so shoddy, I wont be returning (at least not to him).
