Great for Hair/Wax, Horrible on My Nails 7/11/2008

The two times I have been in to get my hair cut, I have had an amazing experience. Nicole was extremely personable, listened to what I wanted and to my concerns, and did an *excellent* job on my hair -- I have never received so many compliments on it. She recommended products according to what I was looking to do with my hair and was never pushy or rude. The last time I went in, I decided to get waxed (eyebrows, lip, full brazilian) and have my nails done as well (manicure and pedicure). The wax went well - Debra did a fantastic job and I'm definitely going back to have everything done again. My manicure and pedicure, however, were a disaster. I wasn't able to catch the name of the woman who did my nails as she hardly said anything the entire hour and a half she was working on me. I felt uncomfortable (which is a rarity for me), as if I was causing her a great disservice by being there. My nails were not buffed, which is something every other nail tech has done, and I was in great pain the entire time my cuticles were being pushed back and cut. Paying $20 for a soak, trim, cuticles, and polish was not exactly money well spent - but neither was the $60 for my toes. The polish was uneven, there were bumps and lumps, and clear polish extended past my nails and onto my fingers. My toes, while they were buffed down, suffered the same bitter end with the polish. I have never seen someone be so unprofessional in a spa/salon that seems to pride itself on its high quality of services provided, and have decided that I will save my money and do my nails myself next time, as that is what ultimately came of the experience -- I came home, peeled off the layers of polish, buffed my own nails, and re-polished them myself. Great for hair and esthetics -- save your money and go elsewhere for nail services. Pros: Parking, Timely Service, Great Hair and Esthetics Services, Not Pushy Cons: Horrible Nail Service, On the Pricey Side more
