Mine Nails

Okay, I’ve seen this place many times as I do my laundry right next door for the last couple of years. And it’s NEVER busy. Yea I see maybe one or two people go in there, but I’ve often asked myself: how are they staying in business?
One Friday I decided I just needed a quick trim and paint on my toes. Not looking for anything special, soooo since I’m right here and its 30mins before closing, I’ll cheat on my regular pedicure lady this once.
I opened the door and asked if I can get a pedicure, again its 30mins before closing so I just wanted to make sure. He said of course and sat me down. These are beautiful, red leather (pleather?) seats, brand new, very comfortable! The only thing missing is your control of what type of massage you want it to give you… come on! give me some buttons to push!
A shy quiet young lady comes out and starts the process. Problem One: The place you put your feet is super high. My ass is fat, so this is sooo not comfotable! LoL. I understand not wanting to bend way over to attack my toes, but come on! It’s like sitting on those little chairs at the beach, thats only about 3 inches off the ground — not the greatest position. Especially when the bottom of the feet need to be down, instead of comfortably relaxed up naturally.
Problem Two: My regular lady must have put super glue on that last coat of polish, because the lady had to bust out the tools to scrap some of that glitter crap off. LoL! So a majority of her time was spent there and I barely got a massage. Totally not her fault!
Problem Three: She HAD to be new. Why you ask? The way she put on the polish. It wasn’t the professional, three strokes it’s covered that I’m used to seeing. I felt like one of my nieces was painting my toes.
In the end, instead of closing promptly at 7, the doors were locked at 710pm.
I thanked them for letting me come in, gave her a tip in cash. Here when paying with a card, you have to add the tip onto it before it’s ran. You don’t write it down when signing your name like at other places. $ 17.00 for a pedicure, wasn’t expecting much, didn’t get much and won’t be going back.
They do have really nice new chairs, tables, etc. so they have that going for them.

I loved the way my powder gel nails turned out however I only gave 4 stars because she didn’t do design I asked her to do. She did cheetah print… again nice but not what I wanted. Pedicure was nice he didn’t rush which I liked. I will go back.

They know how to do any design that you show them a photo of. Though they sometimes seem confused because of the language barrier, they can really do anything you show them. Both the man and the woman are awesome artists!
