Le Pied Spa

WORST mani-​pedi I’ve ever had and paid $ 50 for it! Had to ask the girl to use scrubber on my feet more (she barely scrubbed) and instead she used razor and still didn’t get feet soft — only red in spots with dead skin still on others. Butchered my cuticles on hands and the nail polish… Looks like a CHILD painted them! I had a broken toenail and she didn’t even make it even with the rest of my nail. The polish is uneven and chipping within hours of leaving salon. Plus she tried to put my socks on my feet before my nails were even dry — without oil or baggies! I don’t think this girl had ever done nails before. Please. Don’t waste your money. I wish I could get mine back.

The nail tech that did my nails was really nice, and she did a great job on my pedicure, but my manicure is different story. My nails ended up being sideways on one hand. Also, there wasn’t a very clean line between the polish and my cuticle, so 2 days later when my nails had grown a tiny bit, the polish started cracking and breaking off there, not to mention it started chipping within 12 hours. On top of that, the jagged lines near my cuticle just didn’t look good. I got normal polish, so I realize it won’t last super long, but my manicure should not be chipping on every nail the next morning. My polish lasts longer than that when I do my nails on my own.

52 $ gel mani n regular pedi — that includes their 20% off holiday special. 2.5 hours to get it done.
Adrian did my pedi. super nice kiddo, kept me entertained while he purteed up the feet and then gave a nice lil deep tissue-​ish to my lower legs n feet bottoms. Oh yeahh.
The chick that did my nails was really gentle and thorough as she removed my old gel mani and cleaning up my nails to prep but then she wasn’t filing my nails straight. When I asked her to make it straight she looked at me completely baffled and kept saying that it is. When i told her that one side looked completely higher than the other she said it wasn’t again so she didn’t want to file it… I then asked if I could just do it myself and she clearly didn’t want me to but, at the end of the day, I’m paying for a mani and did not want to walk out w crooked nails, regardless if she thinks they are or not.
They have those pedi air dryer machines so u can put ur shoes back on and not ruin ur freshly polishes feet but u have to start it every few minutes which gets somewhat tedious… Then again, better that than trying to walk outta there wearing flip flops on a 20degree day! Brrrrr.

I just had my first visit for a mani/​pedi and it was fabulous! My feet were very rough and Adrienne made them so smooth! Manicure by Tara was wonderful also. The prices are great, the atmosphere fun, and lots of magazines!

Service here is great. Everyone is friendly and courteous. However each time I’ve been there I’ve had to go back because I’ve had issues with the quality of the work. It seems they’re not quite established in regards to the actual technique of how to give a proper manicure and polish correctly. I really want to love this place!

Le Pied is so fabulous! I love Cheng’s no chips and pedis and I won’t go anywhere else! I live like a half hour bus ride away people! That’s how great the service and results are here!

The girls were friendly. The pedi spa was comfortable, although they don’t have the usual massage chairs. Plenty of magazine to read. The lotion they used smells wonderful. All in all, it a typical mani-​pedi.
However, my manicurist kept cutting my skin when peeling back my cuticles or scrubbing my callouses so while my manicure was really nice, my fingers are kind of swollen and red. I’d understand if it was once, but it kept happening!!!
The girls were easy to talk to, and I did have a great time. In the end, they gave my friend and I a $ 10 coupon for our next mani pedi, so we’ll probably come again!

good price, really like the staff there.
pedicure is really nice– no cracks so far and it’s been 3 days! pretty standard and i like that they do the wrap thing at the end too.
decent selection of colors. bumped down to a three b/​c it’s really not very relaxing/​warm in there. especially by the windows where you go for mani and drying stations. you can feel the cold blowing in through the door and through the gaps in the window insulation.

I should have known how little attention this establishment pays when I checked my groupon app and saw that the salon had marked my groupon as redeemed without me ever even visiting the salon.
Fast forward a few days and I make the trek from the suburbs to the city to actually redeem my groupon. First impression was decent but everything was disappointing from there on out.
For beginners, the service was horrible. The salon rushed through my pedicure and then made me wait over an hour for a manicure, citing my 10 minutes of tardiness (due to snow) as the reason. Instead of getting me through my service and out the door, the manicurist decided to service another client while making me wait unnecessarily. The only consolation they offered was a plate of leftover pretzels and tap water.
The sheer disrespect for my time and money is reason enough for me to never visit this salon again; nor will I recommend it to anyone.

One of my worst quality mani-​pedi jobs I’ve ever received.
You must call ahead of time to make an appointment. I went during a non-​busy time during the week, as to not be rushed and to make sure quality wouldn’t be sacrificed. Unfortunately, it didn’t help.
Pluses: Nice owner who tried to up-​sell me to gel. But thought I’d try a normal one first. Great location.
Minuses:
No massage chairs or adjustable seats for comfort. Just a basic padded bench to sit on. Very cold, drafty front room (in the winter).
Hands: Paint on 3 nails crackled once I left. Used Essie nail polish. The lady doing my nails rolled her eyes at me have to do one of the nails 3 times because they cracked while drying (and then more once I left). They all kept drying funny, with noticeable cracks in the nail polish. Bad nail dryers. A very annoying process of having to push a button on the heaters to keep them going every few minutes, of which I had to do myself. The nail job didn’t even last a FEW HOURS! As they crackled. Not sure what causes this. I took the nail polish off the next day.
To my horror, my nails were YELLOW underneath! And my nails also became brittle and started PEELING really bad on 4 different nails. Maybe it’s from the drying technique they use, or the cheap under and top coat, or both. Not sure. But I’m horrified.
Feet: They chipped on the second day and had noticeable grow out. Meaning, she didn’t push my nail bed cuticles back. (I was reading a magazine, and didn’t pay attention to this unfortunately).
I was thinking about going back for a cheap massage deal they have going on, but won’t because they don’t have heated beds. And with the location being so drafty and cold, unfortunately I won’t be trying it.
I had a Groupon deal. Normal prices seemed expensive in relation to the poor quality work they do. Good I didn’t pay full price.

Great collection of Essie and OPI colors as well as no-​chip options, and the nail techs were super nice at Le Pied. Skills varied from what I observed — my polish job was average although not from lack of effort since she was definitely not rushing. They were running 30 minutes behind in appointments, and my regular mani pedi took 1.5 hours. Total time spent there was 2 hours, which is an hour too long for me. It would have been worth it if I loved my nails or if they lasted a little longer, but that was not the case. The polish that I picked had a semi-​opaque finish, and she avoided getting close to the sides so you could still see edges of the nail. A few nails started snagging on things due to rough edges and this caused chipping by the second day — I’ve definitely experienced better.

Got a classic mani-​pedi here wanting it to last the weekend. Scheduling is easy although requires a phone call (no online option). Whole process takes about an hour.
Easy to find location, small area with maybe 3 – 4 staff at a time. Large selection of colors, all overwhelming for someone who is adamant that nude is the same color as sand which is the same color as beige. I pick two colors, and the girl helping me let’s me try one on as I am not sure how opaque it is. It’s not my style and I venture for the same color on both hands and feet, although you can choose separate ones for no extra charge.
Pedicure starts with the usual foot bath which they’ll tirate to your temperature comfort, a brief albeit nice foot/​calf rub, pumice stone scrub, ample lotion in and then the usual filing/​buff/​cuticle pushing. I request gentle pushing on the cuticles as I’m very sensitive and she was very accomodating. They offer many snacks and wine au gratis and seemed puzzled when I declined, but I was fine. TV with one station and many magazines for your entertainment. A couple girls walk in midway through my pedicure and join at the same area. There is only one word to describe them: basics; and only one word to describe their volume: shrieky. They are entertaining although if someone was seeking a more zen experience, this would be off putting.
Polish goes on with a base, two coats, and a top coat and you waddle over to the mani area with your feet under a fan. Mani follows the same order as the pedi, and the final result looks good.
They don’t shoo you out and you can dry to your liking.
I only meant the job to last the weekend, so I wasn’t too disappointed when it started chipping by Sat night (got it done Friday afternoon). By Monday it needed to be completely removed, but I’m not exactly the most gentle with my hands. Find this to be average on how long mani pedis last for me, so on average, a pretty nice experience and result.

Tara was great, fun to talk to but didn’t try to force conversation at the beginning when I was reading a magazine. I used a groupon so even though bookings were a little slim because it was close to Valentine’s Day but I got in before it expired. Like any groupon read the fine print and make sure there aren’t days that are restricted.
My nails look great, she wrapped my feet in cling wrap and they didn’t smear :)

Just got my nails done here and I’m so happy with how they turned out. I have never received so much attention from nail techs in my life! I had my hands and feet simultaneously manicured/​pedicures and they really paid attention to detail. Very polite, good variety of colors. And I have to say, having bought a Groupon, I would have never expected a mani pedi experience to be the personalized as it was. I was supposed to come here with friends, so I’ll have to make a follow-​up next time we do a girls night after work. Thank you for making me feel so special and my nails looking perfect!

I was interested in checking out this place because of the reviews. I had a friend come into town this weekend and manis/​pedis were on our to do list. After breakfast we decided to go here, and ended up arriving a half hour early. We soon realized they had a groupon for services as well. $ 39 for a no chip mani/​Classic pedi. A classic pedicure by itself is $ 30, so that was a no brainier! We purchased them right away and called to see if they would take our groupon since an appointment was required.
They allowed us to come in a bit early to start our services. We were the first ones to be taken care of and received some of the best service I’ve experienced in a while. They nail techs were friendly, professional, and had great personalities. My tech was very detailed and gentle, and gave me one the neatest no chips I ever received. They also offer to give you a shoulder massage once they complete your manicure.
They got busy really fast, but we never felt rushed at any moment. I will be back :)

I went here because of the reviews, and WOW! Everything was so relaxing and professional. I loved that they gave me wine, a little bottle of water, and snacks. The pedicure stations are beautiful and definitely adds to the relaxing environment. Cheng did an amazing job on my mani and pedi. She took her time, and was very pleasant to talk to. I just wish they did a little more massage on the hands and legs, but honestly, this place was great! I will definitely be returning and bringing my boyfriend, too. Hahah

The BF and I went today on the reviews from Unilocal!
You did not lie … Clean, pleasant and professional staff. Very reasonably priced
Will definitely make it a go to place!

This is the nicest «walk in» nail salon that I have ever been to. The nail technician Nita was meticulous and very nice. She asked me on both my nails and my toes if I liked the color after painting two nails. I am not very picky about my color but little things like this impressed me throughout the service.
I was offered something to drink by several people and several of the staff members spoke to me asking how my day was and so on. The staff just seemed very happy and proud of where they worked.
The facility is incredibly clean. I watched one of the employees clean several of the pedicure stations. He took apart the jets and scrubbed ever inch of the station. It was great to see how much care they put into taking care of their facility.
They have a large selection of polishes, both no chip and regular. OPI and Essie. All of the tools are in sterilized packaging.
I paid $ 43 for a mani/​pedi. This may be a little more than some places but the time and care they put into their services is definitely worth the price.
I think they are having a special $ 35 for a full body 1 hour massage. I will likely go back to try it.
Open 9am-​9pm. Street parking, and parking that can be validated.

I’ve only been here once, but I definitely plan on going back when they have promotions. My friend and I were heading back from Easter Brunch and happen to be walking pass this place. My friend wanted a foot massage, so we stopped in to see how much they cost. Our mouths nearly dropped open when they said $ 35.00 for one hour (found out it is a special there running). The foot massage was nice, but if you’re really expecting your feet to be massage for a full hour (like my friend was) it’s not like that. They massage your feet for a total of 20 minutes and the rest of the time they massage your neck, back, and scalp. I was very relaxed and happy they were able to take both of us at the same time with no appointment. We both agreed the massage was really good to the point we almost fell asleep.
While I was there I also decided to get my eyebrows done. I had not gotten my eyebrows done for 2 months prior cause I was sick of places messing them up and making them too thin. I explained this to the lady doing my eyebrows and she was able to clean them up and give them a nice shape without removing too much hair. I was also a little weary about getting them waxed because normally I get my eyebrows thread. They turned out absolutely perfect. $ 13.00 is a little on the expensive side to me, but still cheaper than places like Aveda, Benefit, etc… I definitely will be going back again for this service.
Only down fall for me I would say are the regular prices. I inquired how much a pedicure was and he said $ 30.00. That’s expensive!!! I’m sure they probably do a good job, but I’ll have to wait until they have a special or I find a groupon.
I also want to mention the people who work there because they were all really friendly. Once he found out I lived in the area he wanted to give me a tour of the salon and offered me water and a free hand lotion. Super sweet! Even though my friend didn’t get her eyebrows done he was giving her tips. Her eyebrows are sparse and he told her to put ginger on them every day to help them grow. I will be back cause I see there still offering that $ 35.00 foot massage deal… hmm…must add this to my weekend plans.

I went to this place for the first time on a Saturday night. It was a GNO (Girls night out) with my gal cousins and we wanted to get pampered. I have to say, I was impressed of this place.
We parked our car next door, it’s $ 10 cash once you have your car stub validated in the salon.
As you walk in there’s about 8 manicure stations. The place looks bright modern with bright colors.
In the back of the room there were about 6 pedicure stations all lined up while you’re sitting on a long cushioned lounge sofa. They only have a single bathroom assuming it’s because it’s a quaint establishment as well as a private room for waxing/​facial/​eye lashes.
It’s your typical Asian nail salon (regular mani and pedi and no chip). I heard the no chip quality last for about 3 weeks or so depending how rough you use your hands. They also do waxing, eye lash extensions and facials. Not only do they have these treatments, but they also do massages here as well. From reflexology hands, feet, back, and full body.
To treat myself, I chose the full body massage. Now keep in mind, it’s a type of Thai Massage with your clothes on so be prepared to wear loose/​comfortable clothes. As you go into the closed room, it’s an open space with many comfortable cushioned massage tables maybe 10 – 12 of them. You can hear relaxing music in the back ground and the lighting in the room is dim. There are no lockers so most likely you would keep your purse/​jacket by your station. The therapist uses his or her own body (hands, knees, feet, arms, legs) to deliver deep acupressure to various points in your own body including your buttock –fully clothed. In addition, yoga-​like stretching is included as part of the massage. They have both male and females that can assist you. To my surprise, I REALLY like it! I was so relaxed that I wanted to fall asleep. I did the hour treatment but I wanted more please!!! I was asked to lay down on the massage table with my feet soaking in warm water (make sure you go to the bathroom first, I’m just saying bare feet, in warm water for a long time…). Also make sure you don’t have too much «stuff» in your hair as they do scalp massage and gently pulling on your hair. You’ll be looking like the bride of Frankenstein after your massage, LOL! They also put a towel on you like a blanket and they cover your eyes with a small towel as well.
She knew my sore spots and yes you can tell them to lighten or deepen the pressure if you need it. I had a strain/​stiff right shoulder and of course us women we have our stressors on our shoulders am I right. And can I tell ya, my lady did a GREAT job on me! She can sense my stressor and focused and worked on them. They do use some type of light oil/​lotion when giving you a massage for your limbs (forearms/​hands to knees down to your feet) hence the loose clothing. If you can, bring a separate pair of clothing if you plan to go out after wards.
The staff members are really nice and they do offer refreshments too. This is a good place to have a private party, so I would ask to book it for the evening.
Overall a great experience, I would come back here again with my gal cousins and try the other treatments… pamper me please oooh la la!!!
