Fancy Nails

This place is now called fancy nails, it has the sparkly sign in the window. The ladies inside were super nice, and the place is so cheap. I even saw a girl getting eye lash extensions put on, she said it was around 30 bucks. The place isn’t super clean, not fancy at all, but the have pretty nice pedicure chairs. Pedi massage was pretty light. I got «holla’d at» twice, once when walking in and once while walking out, it’s a busy corner. Polish selection is pretty good, they have some essie, some opi and some cheap ones. I did see the lady was reusing gloves for the pedi for some reason, I can’t fathom why, but then she gave me flip flops to leave in so I’m not sure how stingy they are. Initially they tried to upsell to get a more expensive pedi or mani/​pedi combo but since it was my first time there I was just trying them out so I said no to their offers which they were sweet about and not pushy. The sign outside said pedi was 18.99 which I was happy about and they do take credit cards. When she charged me she said «is $ 20 okay?» And I said yes because 1) it’s so cheap 2) they sometimes get fees for credit card charges 3) I figured it was a mini tip I could add on to. When I got the receipt there was nowhere to tip, just a place to sign and they did not even mention a tip! Somehow I found this to be comforting because I really felt that these guys are not pushy or trying to take more than their service is worth. There was another woman there getting her nails and eyelashes done and she had her daughter who got her fingers and toes done, I was so impressed by how great the staff was with looking after the little girl, it was super cute. I just moved to this neighborhood and I drive by this place every day so I knew id try it out. I didn’t see any reviews anywhere which I though was crazy so I went to be the guinea pig. I think staff was great, my pedi is pretty good so far. No extra frills or exciting details but overall the people there were nice and friendly. I didn’t expect much from this corner spot but I can say I had a good experience. Now if they could just use new gloves for the pedi and let me see them using clean new tools (I didn’t see her open a package), I’d be so happy! They’re open on Sunday till like 6 or 7 and were happy to take me as a walk in.
