I really wanted to like this place. Clinton Hill needed a fun, funky place to get your nails done and i was happy when the Polish Bar appeared in the neighborhood. I treated myself to a $25 berry scrub pedicure ($5 more then their normal pedi) . 15 minutes into my treatment I was told that i could not get the Berry scrub as I my legs had been shaved that morning and this would cause a rash. However I was still charged $25 dollars as she used berry lotions on my legs. The Pedicure itself was nothing special. No message and just a a basic soak and polish. However I wanted to give the place the benefit of the doubt and was keen to support a local business so I wrote them a letter telling them how i felt and they said they would give me a $5 credit on my next visit. I returned for an eyebrow wax a month later and they refused to give me a credit saying that they had no record of my letter. The cherry on top of the cake was that I got a rash all over my eyebrows a day after the wax.
