Today 1/29/2010 I came to san marcos with my sister for a sisters day at the spa. On the phone I made reservations for two acrylic full sets and pedicures at 11 am. When we arrived, We were told to have a seat and we waited for several minutes while the two women at the front desk talked and we were ignored. Then when the other girl arrived, my sister began her full set and I was seated to begin my pedicure. I had to sit there and wait for a full hour before we even got started because the hot water would not run. Meanwhile, the woman giving me the pedicure did not offer an apology or even acknowledge me, instead she walked around the salon munching on pretzels. Then, when my pedicure was FINALLY done, my sister got her and I began on my full set. The girl doing it told me that she had to teach herself how to do them and that she wasn't even fully trained! My full set turned out looking unprofessional and totally messed up. Meanwhile, my sister was left to sit in the chair for 20 minutes while my girl completed my nails and then was expected to finish my sisters pedicure. By that time I just wanted to pay and leave so I went up front to pay with the gift cards my father had given us for Christmas which said that there was 89 dollars on each. The large woman with curly hair rung me up and told me that there was only 80 dollars on each card, when it was clearly written on the card that there was 89 and she gave me some runaround BS about hoe she gave him some kind of discount. Also, she charged me 55 dollars for each full set when the pricing clearly says 50. I ended up paying 30 dollars more than what i was expecting and on top of that was still expected to tip for such AWFUL AWFUL service.
Pros: nothing
Cons: everything
